How incorporation depth of corn straw affects straw decomposition rate and C&N release in the wheat-corn cropping system

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2020
Abstract The effects of straw incorporation on soil characters are well known, however, straw incorporation depth impact on corn straw decomposition rate, microbial biomass carbon (MBC) & microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN), soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) concentration during straw decomposition have not been documented.

The Effect of Extrusion Conditions on the Fermentability of Wheat Straw and Corn Silage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1997
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L) straw and corn (Zea mays L) silage were extruded under variable conditions of temperature and screw speed. The resulting extrudates were then tested for their fermentability according to cumulative production of gas, and compared with each other and with the untreated material.

Secondary thermophilic microaerobic treatment in the anaerobic digestion of corn straw

Bioresource Technology, 2015
Thermophilic microaerobic pretreatment (TMP) has been proved to be an alternative pretreatment method during anaerobic digestion (AD) of corn straw. In this study, in order to improve the fermentation efficiency during late AD stage, improve the methane yield and volatile solid (VS) removal efficiency, a secondary thermophilic microaerobic treatment ...

Pretreatment of corn straw using the alkaline solution of ionic liquids

Bioresource Technology, 2018
In the present work, the pretreatment of corn stalk with the solution of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Emim]Ac) ionic liquid containing NaOH was explored for its lignin removal. The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, and solid-liquid ratio on the lignin removal efficiency were determined by the response surface methodology (RSM ...

Bioconversion of corn straw by coupling ensiling and solid-state fermentation

Bioresource Technology, 2001
A two-stage process that combined solid-state fermentation (SSF) and ensiling was used for bioconversion of corn straw, in order to increase nutritional value and palatability for animal feed. SSF of corn straw increased the level of protein from 6.7% to 14.7% and decreased the cellulose by 38.0% and hemicellulose by 21.2%.

Gasification and catalytic reforming of corn straw in closed-loop reactor

Bioresource Technology, 2019
A closed-loop gasification and catalytic reforming apparatus was applied for producing syngas from corn straw with upgraded syngas quality. Four nickel based catalysts at 10% and that at 5-15% loadings on γ-A12O3 were synthesized and tested. Effects of reforming temperature (700-900 °C), steam to biomass ratio (S/B, 0.5-2.5), catalyst to biomass ratio (

Progress of research into cotton straw and corn straw cement-based building materials in China

Advances in Cement Research, 2018
This paper reviews the development of cotton straw and corn straw cement-based materials in China. With the use of unmodified straw fibres, the compressive strength of the cement-based material decreases with an increase in corn and cotton straw content, but the rate of decrease is considerably lower than that of wheat and rice straw, mainly because ...

Valorization of Corn Straw for Production of Glucose by Two‐Step Depolymerization

Chemistry – A European Journal
AbstractDepolymerization of the cellulose part in lignocellulose to glucose is a significant step for lignocellulose valorization. As one of the main by‐products of agricultural biomass in crop‐producing filed, valorization of corn straw has attracted considerable attention.
