The development of a cotton stalk pulling machine
Journal of Agricultural Engineering Research, 1982Abstract A tractor mounted 4-row machine has been developed for uprooting cotton stalks to facilitate hand-gathering and burning as a disease control measure. Alternative design arrangements were investigated before that of the current commercial machine was reached in close collaboration with the manufacturer, Agri-Projects International Ltd.

Physical characteristics of compressed cotton stalks
Biosystems Engineering, 2008A study was carried out to evaluate the physical characteristics of chopped cotton stalks and to establish correlations of physical characteristics with moisture content and compression pressure. Chopped cotton stalks having a moisture content varying from 8.5% to 21.45% (w.b.) were densified into square blocks (80 mm by 80 mm) at compression pressures

Pyrolysis Characteristics And Kinetics Of Cotton Stalk
2009 International Conference on Energy and Environment Technology, 2009China is one of largest cotton-producing countries in the word. Cotton stalk production (dry mass)in China is above 900 million tons per year. The conversion of these materials by thermochemical processes like pyrolysis can significantly and immediately reduce the mass and volume of wastes, allowing for energy recovery.

COTTON STALK FOR COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF GLUCOSE
Transactions of the ASAE, 1997The possibility of converting cotton stalk into glucose was explored. Acid hydrolysis of it with 72% H2SO4 and concentrated HCl gave 9.4% and 5.6% glucose, respectively. On the other hand, hydrolysis by concentrated HCl, in the presence of ZnCl2, gave maximum yield of glucose, 12.0%.

Production and Characterization of Films from Cotton Stalk Xylan
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2007Composite film production based on cotton stalk xylan was studied, and the mechanical and physical properties of the films formed were investigated. Xylan and lignin were separated from cellulose by alkali extraction and, then, lignin was removed using ethanol washing. Self-supporting continuous films could not be produced using pure cotton stalk xylan.

study on the chopping and mixing of cotton stalks with soil
2010This study examined the methods adopted in Turkey to remove cotton stalks remaining in the field after the cotton harvest and quantified the efficiency of different mechanized stalk choppers. In this study, theperformance of three different types of cotton stalk choppers was assessed (chain-type, splined-type and vertical-blade rotating dredge).
