Water hyacinth biomass production in Madrid
Studies were conducted to determine the production of biomass of the water hyacinth in Madrid. The production of biomass at ambient temperature during the warm months (from May to October) was 215 t wet wt ha-1 · year-1 equivalent 10.7 t dry wt · ha-1 · year-1 In the greenhouse, the production of biomass was 791 t wt ha-1 · year-1 equivalent 39.5 t dry

Water Hyacinth: a Curse or a Crop? [PDF]
AN organism often multiplies explosively when carried to a new environment. Rabbits in Australia are a familiar example, and now we have water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) in south-east Asia, the Nile, and the Congo1–3. In time, enemies of the invader will probably evolve in the new environment, or be introduced into it, and restore a balance, but ...

Characteristics of Torrefaction with Water Hyacinth [PDF]
oC) and three time settings (1, 2, 3 h) using small electric heaters (11.3l of holding volume). This study investigated the heating values with the washing process and process factors influenced the torrefaction. In addition, this study compared the heating values in washed and unwashed samples and suggested the optimal conditions for increasing ...
