The main objective of this work is supporting the use of sustainable solutions for the management and reuse of agricultural waste from the cereal harvest, such as oats, barley, and triticale, making sheets of artisan paper, innovating the process with the use of different proportions of cellulose obtained from straw residues. The physical and mechanical properties of the obtained sheets showed that basis weight (66–96 g/m2), thickness (19–300 μm), burst strength (68.9–103.4 kPa), burst index (0.81–1.35 kPam2/g) and bulk (2.52–3.12 cm3/g), were adequate. Based on what can be observed in the SEM images, it is possible to infer that straw has the function of supporting the sheets using combinations of barley straw and recycled paper. The result of the IR analysis indicated that the sheet with an increase in hydroxyl groups was that obtained with barley straw. Therefore, the treatment was efficient. These results were corroborated by X-ray diffraction analysis, in which the percentage of crystallinity of the barley straw paper was 37.1%. Finally, the results obtained indicated that the crystallinity is better in the sheets containing large amounts of barley straw. The sheet with the highest percentage of crystallinity was that which was made using 100% of barley straw, showing a 37.1 percentage of crystallinity, followed by the sheet made of 100% recycled paper, having a value of 34.4%.
The objective of the present investigation was to compare the effects of the conservationist and conventional tillage system on the physical and chemical properties of the soil. Two soil samples were taken at different depths from 0 to 5 cm and from 5 to 30 cm. The apparent density (Da), electrical conductivity (EC), pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC), carbonates, organic matter (OM), nitrate (NO3-), available phosphorus and potassium (P and K) and bases were evaluated. interchangeable (Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , K + y Na + ). It was observed that the conservation tillage system neutralizes the pH, regulates the concentration of exchangeable bases and reduces the concentration of carbonates. The evaluations of the aforementioned parameters allow us to conclude that the conservation agriculture system is an alternative to favor soil quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
