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 ...
Development and evaluation of selected low impact development practices for runoff management at the nursery and watershed scales
(2017-12)
Agricultural and urban runoff can threaten water resources. Land disturbances related to urbanization and agriculture can change hydrologic characteristics such as volume of runoff and peak flow. In addition, activities ...
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 ...
Soil pathogen fate and transport: Biopores facilitating Escherichia coli transport
(2010-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Laboratory and field experiments, and computational model.
Properties of gasification-derived char and its utilization for catalytic tar reforming
(2015-05)
Char is a low-value byproduct of biomass gasification and pyrolysis with many potential applications, such as soil amendment and the synthesis of activated carbon. The overall goal of the proposed research was to develop ...
Quantifying groundwater interaction with streams and thermal regime implications
(2017-12)
Groundwater interaction plays an essential role in aquatic ecosystems and is involved in a range of water quantity and quality issues. However, quantifying stream-groundwater interactions has been difficult and labor ...
Co-pyrolysis of microalgae, sludge and lignocellulosic biomass for aromatic hydrocarbon production
(2019-12)
Co-pyrolysis, where a mixture of two or more different biomasses are subjected to
pyrolysis, has gained attention over the years. Many studies have revealed that it leads to
bio-oil production with desirable properties ...
Enhanced alcohol production during syngas fermentation using biochar
(2018-07)
Microbial fermentation of syngas (mainly CO, H2 and CO2) into biofuels (ethanol, butanol, etc.) and chemicals (carboxylic acids, 2,3-butanediol, etc.) is a flexible and promising route for producing liquid biofuels and ...
Experimental investigation and simulation of a fluidized-bed gasifier using switchgrass
(2013-12)
The overall goal of this research was to improve and optimize yield and composition of syngas generated from biomass gasification using an autothermal lab-scale fluidized-bed gasifier, and to develop a biomass gasification ...
