Creating a low-cost, low-particulate emissions corn cob charcoal grinder for use in Peru
… using agriculture wastes such as bagasse and corncobs. However, it has been found that corncob charcoal produces dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide and as a result is unable to be burned directly and must be briquetted. In conjunction with this, an organization in Lima, Peru called …

Assessing low thermal conductivity of bricks which contain rice husk, corn cob and waste tea as an additive material
… Recycling rice husk (RH), waste tea (WT) and corn corb (CC) into fired clay brick can improve thermal conductivity of the existing fired clay brick and reduce waste disposal problem. This study was conducted to identify the effects of using RH, WT and CC on the physical, mechanical and thermal …

Organic Fillers in Phenol-Formaldehyde Wood Adhesives
… (Juglans regia), alder bark (Alnus rubra), and corn cob (furfural production) residue. Alder bark and walnut shell exhibited chemical compositions that are typical for lignocellulosic materials, whereas corn cob residue was distinctly different owing to the high pressure steam digestion used in …

Rheology And Organic Filler Interactions in Phenolic Resin Formulations
… waste products like walnut shells and corn-cob residue. These organic waste products act as fillers that reduce the cost, increase the viscosity, and affect the rheology of the fillers. Wheat flour is added as an extender to reduce cost and affect the tack of the adhesive. These organic …

Novel Synthesis of Bulk Nanocarbon (BNC)
… energy ball milling and the carbonization of corn cob. Corn cob was mechanically milled for up to 20 hours by applying high energy ball milling to produce the milled powder. The milled powder was cold-compacted and carbonized at up to 1500°C to fabricate the BNC material. The material revealed …

Pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials
… this study, namely, yellow poplar (hardwood) and corn cob (herbaceous crop).;A combination of reactor incline and shaking speed of 46.7°/180 rpm produced continuous and steady transportation of insoluble substrates through the hollow fibers of polymeric TMR, when no cellulolytic enzymes were …

Characterization of a Novel Biodegradable Material to Reduce Emission of Ammonia
… material was developed from steam exploded corn cob and its adsorption capacity was studied by packed column and titration method. The packed column studies showed that the maximum absorption capacities of the raw corn cob (RCC) and the steam exploded corn cob (SECC) were 10.45 mg NHB3B/gRCC …

Integration of a cob separation system into a biomass harvesting combine
<p>Before the invention of a combine harvester, corn was picked on the ear and threshed later. This led to an availability of corn cobs and many uses were found. A renewed interest in the heat/energy value of the cob has increased the focus on harvesting corn cobs. A corn cob separation system was …

Filler effects in resole adhesive formulations
… (Alnus rubra), almond shell (Prunus dulcis), and corn cob (furfural production) residue. The chemical composition of all fillers was measured and compared to published data. The basic rheological behavior of the formulations was determined and used to develop an adhesive tack measurement based …

Solubility, degradability and utilization by ruminants of broiler litter processed by ensiling, deepstacking and composting
… (10.3% CP) and isocaloric (56% TDN) corn cob-based diets. Apparent digestibility of CP was somewhat depressed by feeding deepstacked and composted litters; however, N retention was affected by N sources. Nitrogen source did not alter flow and partial digestion of DM, OM and ADF …

The effect of spent mushroom compost on soil conditions and plant growth
… grown during the two years of the field trial. Corn and cabbage yields were increased when SMC was applied without inorganic fertilizer, and potato yield was increased irrespective of fertilizer use (i.e. fresh yield increases of 38%, 82-96% & 26-38% respectively for corn cob, cabbage head & …
