Production of alcohols via syngas fermentation using Alkalibaculum bacchi monoculture and a mixed culture
(2013-12)
Gasification-syngas fermentation is a hybrid conversion technology. In this process, feedstocks such as biomass or municipal solid waste are gasified to syngas (CO, H2 and CO2), which is then converted into biofuels and ...
Development of microwave dielectric algorithms for sensing corn stalks
(2012-05)
Scope and Method of Study:
Effect of drying temperature, size reduction, propane extraction, and storage temperature on the quality and shelf life of cilantro (Coriandrum sativum L.)
(2013-05)
Cilantro dried at 40°C and 60°C was ground and separated into large flakes (LF), small flakes (SF), and coarse powder (CP) and subjected to continuous flow liquid propane extraction at 21-25°C. Extracted and unextracted ...
Microbial removal efficiency within bioretention filter media in laboratory and field environments
(2015-12)
This study will evaluate bioretention systems' ability to remove microbial pollutants in both the laboratory and field settings, while also providing essential background on urban stormwater, pollutants, treatment options, ...
Quantifying fluvial resistance of streambanks using jet erosion tests
(2014-12)
The United States has over forty-thousand impaired water bodies with sediment listed as one of the top five causes of impairment. Recent research has found that more than 50% of fine sediment in watersheds originates from ...
Anthropogenic impacts on the landscape: Investigations in water quality and channel stability
(2016-07)
The natural landscape has been impacted by human settlement, development and agricultural practices. One of the major impacts of these anthropogenic activities is excessive upland soil erosion. During runoff events, eroded ...
Scenario optimization approach for designing biomass supply chain
(2012-12)
Scope and Method of Study:
Cotton stripper harvester evaluation and modification for cotton fiber quality preservation and foreign matter removal
(2013-12)
The goal of Phase I was to determine cotton fiber quality and foreign matter characteristics of bur cotton after it was processed through sequential selected cotton stripper conveyance/cleaning locations. Five sequential ...
Weather and topographical influences on spatial and temporal variability of winter wheat yield in Oklahoma
(2011-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The main objective of this research was to study the influence of weather and topography on the temporal and spatial variability of wheat yields in Oklahoma by examining the soil moisture ...
Treatment of biomass-derived synthesis gas using commercial steam reforming catalysts and biochar
(2011-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The destruction of tars is a crucial technological barrier for the development and further commercialization of biomass gasification. The decomposition of tar compounds using catalysts is a ...
