The effectiveness of maize harvesting is significantly impacted by the parameters of snapping rollers, which have a crucial function in separating maize ears from the stalks. The present study examines the influence of several snapping roller parameters, such as rotational speed, roller spacing, and surface properties, on the efficiency of maize harvesting. The paper provides a detailed examination of the advancements in snapping roller technology, focusing on improvements that seek to optimize performance and minimize harm to crops. The research highlights significant obstacles, including the need for wear resistance, careful material selection, and the capacity to adapt to various maize kinds. The suggested solutions to these difficulties include the use of improved materials, optimal roller designs, and adaptive control systems. Addressing these difficulties may lead to a substantial improvement in the efficiency and sustainability of maize harvesting operations, as shown by the data. This study offers vital insights for the development of more efficient and durable maize harvesting machinery, eventually leading to enhanced agricultural output and food security.

“…The unique characteristics of these biomass types significantly influence the resulting biochar properties. Furthermore, the attributes of biochar can be influenced by the specific pyrolysis conditions applied, including factors such as temperature and residence time, which can impact biochar yield and chemical composition (Makavana et al 2020;Mohd et al 2019;Yang et al 2020). By controlling the temperature and residence time, the pyrolysis process can produce a biochar product with specific properties.…”

The imperative transition to renewable energy drives the need for innovation. Biomass, particularly wood pellets, has demonstrated poor performance in co-firing scenarios. This study employed pyrolysis to convert wood pellets into biochar with improved fuel quality. The biochar production and characterization were investigated at pyrolysis temperatures of 400°C to 500°C. The findings revealed significant improvements: the observed fixed carbon content increased from 67.2% to 78.8%, and the calorific value increased 1.2 times higher within the pyrolysis temperature increased. On the other hand, as the pyrolysis temperature increased from 400°C to 500°C, biochar yields decreased from 49% to 37%. Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis revealed distinct weight loss during heating, illuminating component volatilization and residue accumulation. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy elucidated structural changes, demonstrating the evolution of cellulose and hemicellulose into aromatic structures. Ultimately, these insights into biochar characteristics informed the optimization of pyrolysis processes, contributing to the production of superior biochar for renewable energy applications.
