Pilot-Plant Gasification of Olive Stone: a Technical Assessment

Energy & Fuels, 2004
A 150 kWth bubbling-fluidized-bed gasifier pilot plant was designed to study the gasification performance of different biomasses and blends. This paper presents the results of pilot-plant gasification tests carried out at atmospheric pressure and temperatures within the range of 700−820 °C in order to assess the technical viability of gasifying ...

Stone Decay by Plants and Animals

1973
Plants and animals can attack stone to a large extent both by mechanical and by chemical action. While the action of higher plants may be both mechanical and chemical, bacteria, the lowest kind of life, attack by chemical means only. The biotic decay is very complex and this topic has been deplorably neglected in the past.

Triglyceride Composition of Oil from Stones of Nine Rosaceae Plants

Chemistry of Natural Compounds, 2002
Oil from stones of nine plants representing seven Rosaceae genera was studied by reversed-phase HPLC with refractive-index detection. Internal normalization using the incremental approach determined the qualitative and quantitative composition of the oil triglycerides. Triglycerides of Cerasus vulgaris Mill., C.

Computer drafting of stones, wood, plant and ground materials

Proceedings of the 6th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques, 1979
Architectural presentation drawings frequently require the drafting of stones, wood patterns, plants and ground materials, which, contrary to the majority of drafting tasks, cannot rely on repetitious procedures. This paper discusses and illustrates computer implemented algorithms which generate graphic representations of the above materials.
