A systematic evaluation of biomethane production from sugarcane trash pretreated by different methods

open access: yes, 2020
Biomethane production was systematically evaluated with sugarcane trash pretreated by liquid hot water (LHW), dilute acid (DA) and KOH solutions. Multiple linear regression analysis identified glucan in pretreated solid residue as well as C5 sugars and ...

Assessing trade‐off risk between crop production and vertebrate biodiversity in three African countries

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Governments worldwide are committed to eliminating hunger and conserving biodiversity, reflected in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 15 (Life on Land). Expanding agricultural lands to meet growing food demands often threatens biodiversity, creating potential trade‐offs between these objectives. To understand the

Land use dynamics and sugarcane production

open access: yes, 2008
In this chapter the debate on sugarcane ethanol focuses on land use from a global point of view. There are many competing demands for land: to grow crops for food, feed, fibre and fuel, for nature conservation, urban development and other functions.

Masterbatch‐Assisted Fabrication of Polylactic Acid/Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites Exhibiting Mechanical Enhancement and UV‐C Aging Resistance

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Masterbatch‐Assisted Fabrication of Polylactic Acid/Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites. ABSTRACT Polylactic acid (PLA) is a promising bio‐based polymer; nonetheless, its extensive application is still limited by poor fracture toughness, low thermal stability, and strong susceptibility to degradation induced by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
