Biomethanation of water hyacinth biomass

Bioresource Technology, 2018
The aim of this study was to test practical solutions to improve biogas yield during the anaerobic digestion of water hyacinth (WH) biomass. Increasing the WH (whole plant) solid content to ∼40% through sun drying (6 h), and its subsequent digestion increased biogas yield by 14% with a higher biogas methane (75%) content.

Water Hyacinth

2015
This paper is a review of literature of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes); what it is, why it is of scientific importance, problems it causes, how it can be controlled, and how it can be a source of livelihoods. The review has shown that water hyacinth is native to the Amazon Basin and one of the world's most noxious aquatic weed.

Catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction of water hyacinth

Bioresource Technology, 2015
Thermal and catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction of water hyacinth was performed at temperatures from 250 to 300 °C under various water hyacinth:H2O ratio of 1:3, 1:6 and 1:12. Reactions were also carried out under various residence times (15-60 min) as well as catalytic conditions (KOH and K2CO3).

Water Hyacinth Plant Fibre Characterization

International Journal of Research and Scientific Innovation
This work is on the specie of the water hyacinth (WH) in the Northern part of Nigeria taken from the lake in Jalingo in the Sahel region of the country. The basic characteristics of the fibres are studied for use in concrete and other allied construction works. They are subjected to physical and chemical tests for the determination of their properties.
