“…Some species of these genera are native of America and widely grown in Mexico. Due to their metabolism, those, having a Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM), have high efficiencies of water use (five or ten times higher than plants C 3 and C 4 ) and are suitable to grow in environments with limitations, such as arid regions and marginal soils [7,8]. Moreover, these species are also highly efficient in biomass accumulation.…”

“…Furthermore, there are some works dealing with the pyrolysis of Pinus cubensis t [47] and Pinus sp. sawdust [48], and the combustion of Pinus banksiana and Black spruce mixtures [8]. However, there are few studies focused on the effect of the physical and chemical properties of Mexican waste biomass on the performance of pyrolysis, combustion and gasification processes.…”

Cultivation of energy crops is a part of modern agriculture. In particular, maize (Zea mays L.) is widely grown in central Europe. However, in terms of erosion risk and high demands on fertilization and protection against diseases and pests, its growing is not environmentally friendly. Therefore, possibilities of utilization of other more environmentally friendly energy crops have been examined at present. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of various fertilization (mineral, digestate, control) on the yields of tall wheatgrass (TWG) (Elymus elongatus subsp. ponticus) and reed canary grass (RCG) (Phalaris arundinacea L.) cultivated in a long-term field experiment on the experimental site in Czech Republic. The energy profit from cultivation of these crops and its protective anti-erosion effect were evaluated. The average yields ranged from 4.6 (RCG, mineral fertilization) to 7.4 t/ha (TWG, digestate fertilization). The more profitable species was tall wheatgrass, the biomass of which also had the higher heating value. The energy profit ranged from 80 GJ/ha (RCG, control variant and mineral fertilization) to 133 GJ/ha (TWG, digestate and mineral fertilization). It has been found that the tested plants excel in anti-erosion effect and could therefore be a suitable alternative to maize, especially in less-favored areas.

“…Starch, a kind of combustible dust, holds potential safety hazards due to its suspension in constricted space, such as starch‐processing or food‐production departments, which is prone to trigger serious dust explosions with huge damages . Consequently, a number of attempts have been devoted to studying its explosion characteristics, including the minimum ignition temperature (MIT), minimum explosive concentration , and maximum explosion pressure ( P max ), and the combustion process of starch could be divided into two stages including devolatilization and char oxidation …”

Investigation on the Explosion and Combustion of Various Carbon–Starch Blended Dust

The effect of different carbon allotropes on the explosion and combustion of potato‐starch dust is preliminarily investigated by modified Hartmann tube and cone calorimeter (CC), using expandable graphite (EG), naturally flaky graphite, vermicular graphite, and carbon black as the dust suppressants, respectively. The results show that the maximum explosion pressure (Pmax) decreases from 0.66 to 0.39 MPa and the peak heat release rate reduces from 31.45 to13.64 kW·m−2 for the EG‐starch blended dust, due to the physically shielding effect of the fluffy and charring layer. It clarifies that the combustion of starch is mainly governed by Zhuralev–Lesokin–Tempelman 3D diffusion calculated by the modified Coats–Redfern integral method; the carbonaceous materials block the pyrolysis and migration of volatiles, leading to a decrease in DTGmax. It establishes a comprehensive method to evaluate the explosion and combustion of organic combustible dust, combining the CC with combustion kinetics effectively.
