TL;DR: After mechanical treatments of cryocrushing, disintegration and defibrillation, the thermal properties of the nanofibers were studied by the TGA technique and found to increase dramatically and is reasonably promising for the use of these nanofiber types in reinforced-polymer manufacturing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of straw and stubble of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare; 5t dry matter ha−1) being incorporated into soil annually for 18 years in two field experiments in Denmark.
Abstract: The straw and stubble of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare; 5t dry matter ha−1) were either burned or incorporated into soil annually for 18 yr in two field experiments in Denmark. Both experiments were on light soils situated at Studsgaard (loamy sand) and Ronhave (sandy loam). At both sites 18 yr of annual straw incorporation increased total soil organic C by only 5% and total N by about 10% but produced large increases in microbial biomass measured by the CHCl3-fumigation method. The increases in biomass C were 45 and 37% at Studsgaard and Ronhave, respectively: the corresponding increases in biomass N were 50 and 46%. Biomass measurements thus gave an early indication of slow changes in organic matter content long before these could be measured accurately against the background of organic matter already present in the soils. Increases in biomass P due to straw incorporation appeared to be even greater. However, the amounts of P released by CHC13 were small so the measurements of biomass P were less accurate than those of biomass C or N. During a 60-day laboratory incubation at 25°C, evolution of CO2-C was 55–79% greater in soil from straw incorporated plots than in soil from burned plots. Mineralization of N was 40–50% greater where straw had been incorporated, indicating thaf the long-term incorporation of straw had increased the quantity of mineralizable N in soil.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The present review discusses the available technologies for bioethanol production using rice straw and the choice of pretreatment methods plays an important role to increase the efficiency of enzymatic saccharification thereby making the whole process economically viable.
