• Introduction to industrial hemp (Cannabis Sativa L.) (no more than 2 pages) o Growing conditions/climate Hemp is an annual herbaceous crop with a long history of cultivation due to its wide range of uses and adaptive nature. Once indigenous to Central and South Asia, hemp does especially well in temperate zones. Optimum hemp yields are obtained when daily temperatures range between 60˚ and 80˚F with total available moisture ranging between 20 to 28 inches through the growing season. The first

Abstract Biofuel has become the focus of society in recent years, because the discharge of CO2 has been increasing year after year, energy crisis and environment pollution problem stunted economic growth. To solve these problems, biofuel is a good option since its low pollution and renewability. In 2010 the production of biofuels which provide 2.7% of fuels for transportation in the world reached 105 billion liters (Worldwatch Institute, 2011). The United States and Brazil were the largest producers

Biological Properties of MSW Excluding plastic, rubber, and leather components, the organic fraction of most MSW can be classified as follows: 1. Water-soluble constituents, such as sugars, starches, amino acids, and various organic acids. 2. Hemicellulose, a condensation product of five- and six-carbon sugars, 3. Cellulose, a condensation product of the six-carbon sugar glucose 4. Fats, oils, and waxes which are esters of alcohols and long-chain fatty acids, 5. Lingnin, a polymeric material containing

Introduction Plastic in its various forms is the most useful but cheap invention that mankind has ever made . Having widespread applications from industries to minute household stuff, its utility cannot be expressed in a few sentences. But, at the same time, plastics possess a property which makes nature quite vulnerable to their misuse. This property namely is NON-BIODEGRADABILITY. By closely observing the structure of plastic, we come to know that plastic is made of extremely strong carbon-carbon

Characteristics of the biochar The characteristics of the biochar derived from pine fruit residue are shown in Table -1. The adsorptive properties of sorbent are greatly dependent on their particle size and distribution throughout the mass. Effective size and uniformity coefficient are the two important parameters for treatment of contaminated water using adsorbent as filtering media in column operation where control of particle size is critical. The effective size corresponds to the sieve size through

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Composite materials are the engineering materials made from two or more constituent materials they remain separate and distinct on a macroscopic level but forming a single component or Composites can defined as materials that consist of two more chemically and physically different phases separated by a distinct interface(matrix phase and dispersed phase). The different systems are combined judiciously to achieve a component with more and more useful structural or functional

The United States is the world’s largest producer of ethanol fuel, producing over 60% of the world’s ethanol in 2011, which correlates to the creation of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) in 2005. The RFS originated with the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and was expanded and extended by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). The RFS requires renewable fuel to be blended into transportation fuel more so every year until it is set to reach 36 billion gallons in 2022 (Renewable). The

Enzymes in Industry Enzymes are described as chemical a catalyst that is they speed up the rate of reaction. Enzymes have enormous potential in the commercial world. They are cheap to use in industry and they do not need high temperatures to work. They work at neutral PH and normal atmospheric pressure. This reduces the costs of fuel in industry and are energy saving. Also, enzymes can be reused. This means that they are needed in relatively small amounts in comparison

horses cannot regurgitate. However, cows have 4 compartments of the stomach, the rumen, which can hold 25 gallons or more and contains billions of bacteria, that do most of the digestion of the cows food, approximately 30-50% of the cellulose and hemicelluloses is digested in the rumen by microbial populations. The reticulum, is a pouch like structure with a honey-comb lining which aids the rumination and also traps foreign objects. The Omasum filters large particles back to the reticulum, and absorbs

Development & Isolation of Bioactive component from Endophytic Fungi on Musa Paradisiaca as Anti diabetic agent _____________________________________________________________________________ Introduction: Medicinal plants are frequently used in traditional medicine to treat different disease condition all over world. The knowledge about this traditional medicine system has been significantly helping to develop more and more effective treatment options to cure disease without or least side effects
