Digestibility of wheat straw or ammoniated wheat straw in equine diets

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 1992
Summary Six mature mares of Quarter Horse and Paint breeding (average body weight 560 kg) were used in a replicated, completely randomized experiment to evaluate the acceptance and digestibility of diets containing untreated or ammoniated wheat straw. Horses were fed one of three dietary treatments: (1) 50% chopped, ammoniated wheat straw/50% chopped

Fungal Upgrading of Wheat Straw for Straw-Thermoplastics Production

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2004
Combining biologic pretreatment with storage is an innovative approach for improving feedstock characteristics and cost, but the magnitude of responses of such systems to upsets is unknown. Unsterile wheat straw stems were upgraded for 12 wk with Pleurotus ostreatus at constant temperature to estimate the variation in final compositions with variations

Ozonolytic Delignification of Wheat Straw

Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2020
The dynamics of wheat straw delignification with ozone treatment is studied. The dependence of the residual lignin content on the specific absorption of ozone is determined. It is found that in a prolonged stage of ozonation, ozone is consumed mostly for the reaction with lignin.

Biomethanation of rice and wheat straw

World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology, 1994
When rice or wheat straw was added to cattle dung slurry and digested anaerobically, daily gas production increased from 176 to 331 l/kg total solids with 100% rice straw and to 194 l/kg total solids with 40% wheat straw. Not only was methane production enhanced by adding chopped crop residues but a greater biodegradability of organic matter in the ...

Levulinic acid production from wheat straw

Bioresource Technology, 2007
Studies were carried out on the effects of temperature, acid concentration, liquid:solid ratio and reaction time on levulinic acid production from wheat straw using response surface methodology. The P-value of the coefficient for acid concentration was 0.0002, suggesting that this was highly significant.

Plasma-Assisted Pretreatment of Wheat Straw

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2010
O₃ generated in a plasma at atmospheric pressure and room temperature, fed with dried air (or oxygen-enriched dried air), has been used for the degradation of lignin in wheat straw to optimize the enzymatic hydrolysis and to get more fermentable sugars. A fixed bed reactor was used combined with a CO₂ detector and an online technique for O₃ measurement

Enzymic saccharification of pretreated wheat straw

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 1985
AbstractStudies of pretreatment of wheat and its subsequent saccharification by Trichoderma reesei cellulases are reported. Steam explosion was found to be the most effective of the pretreatment methods tested. Data are presented describing the effect of enzyme and substrate concentration on the rate and degree of hydrolysis.

The briquetting of wheat straw

Journal of Agricultural Engineering Research, 1977
Abstract Limited tests have been carried out which demonstrate that wheat straw can be compressed to a relative density greater than unity, and stabilized at that density without binding or other mechanical aids. This represents a reduction in the volume of the material by an order of magnitude, so the straw could be transported and stored more ...

Pelletizing Properties of Wheat Straw Blending with Rice Straw

Energy & Fuels, 2017
Mixing different types of biomass materials to achieve better pelletizing properties is a potential method to improve the biomass pelletizing process. In this study, experiments were carried out with a single pellet unit to obtain the pelletizing properties of wheat straw blending with rice straw.
