Biobased Epoxy Composites Reinforced with Acetylated Corn Straw. [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2023 Corn straw/epoxy resin composites (CS/ECs) and maleic anhydride acetylated CS/ECs (MA-CS/ECs) were prepared through dry mixing and high-temperature curing. Corn straw is a kind of abundant, eco-friendly, and low-cost biomass material. Unmodified and modified corn straws were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron

Effects of returning corn straw and fermented corn straw to fields on the soil organic carbon pools and humus composition [PDF]
SOIL, 2021 Abstract. In our previous studies, we filtered out fungus (Trichoderma reesei) to have the best ability to transform corn straw into a humic-acid-like substance through laboratory incubation experiments. In order to further verify our former findings, we set up a 360 d field experiment that included three treatments applied under equal carbon (C) mass:

Auto-Combustion of Corn Straw: Production and Characterization of Corn Straw Ash (CSA) for Its Use in Portland Cement Mortars. [PDF]
Materials (Basel)Agricultural waste availability implies the possibility of recovering energy as biomass. The collateral effect is the production of ashes that, in some cases, have the potential to be reused in the manufacture of cement, mortar, and concrete. This article presents the study of the auto-combustion (unlike all previous studies) of corn (maize) straw ...

Biomechanics of wheat/barley straw and corn stover [PDF]
Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2005 The lack of understanding the mechanical characteristics of cellulosic feedstocks is a limiting factor in economically collecting and processing crop residues, primarily wheat and barley stems and corn stover. Several testing methods—compression, tension, and bend—were investigated to increase the understanding of the biomechanical behavior of ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Corn straw is an abundant lignocellulose resource and by-product of agricultural production. With the continuous increase in agricultural development, the output of corn straw is also increasing significantly. However, the inappropriate disposal of straw results in wasting of resources, and also causes a serious ecological crisis.

Self-Sustaining Smoldering Characteristics of Corn Straw Powder Stacks [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2021 Biomass fuels are expected to play an important role in future energy consumption. Meanwhile, the fire and explosion of biomass are the have-to-face problems in its production, storage, and application process. This work aims to reveal the influence of stacking and ventilation parameters on the smoldering propagation process and provide guidance for ...
