- a company called changing world technologies has built a pilot plant to test a process it has developed for converting a mixture of disgraded computers, old tires, turkey bones, and other wastes into oil by mimicking and speeding up natural processes for converting biomass into oil. how could this lead to an increase in waste production?Most of the abundant gas in the atmosphere is not bioavailable to plants. How does this abundant gas become bioavailable?What is the step by step procedure of Biological conversion of biomass (especially agricultural wastes) in order to procuce energy (bioenergy)?
- What is a primary element of many photovoltaic panels?EXPERIMENT :UTILIZATION OF SOLID WASTE FOR PRODUCTION OF VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS There are wastes of four fruits peels; apple, orange, banana, and pineapple were used for this experiment. The percentage of biomass produced and moisture content were calculated by using the given formulas. It is given that the weight of each substrate is equal to 40 grams. The biomass produced is maximum in apple peel followed by banana peel, orange peel, and pineapple peel ( observation 1) and banana peel has highest moisture content followed by orange peel, pineapple peel, and apple peel (observation 2). QUESTION: Suggest a conclusion paragraph that can you make from the statement above?What negative impacts will occur if transpiration in a plant is slowed down?
- What controls the partitioning of carbon between growth and repiration? and Why the efficiency of converting sugars into new biomass is relatively constant?Azlina wanted to maximize the bio-char yield in her experiment so that she can utilize the biochar in the subsequent pot trials to improve the crop yield. She decided to run a torrefaction reaction on biomass at a moderate temperature of 240 oC whereby the biochar yield was 20 wt%. Later on, she found out that biochar can be produced by pyrolysis with a higher yield of 40 wt% but operating at a higher temperature of 500 oC. The amount of biochar yield almost doubled from her yield from the torrefaction process. Explain whether any error involved in her experiment, then describe the error involved and suggest the method to improve the biochar yield.a.
