Acacia and Eucalyptus woods were carbonised in the temperature range 40&12WC using two different heating-cooling cycles, viz. slow and rapid. The yield of chars and their chemical composition was found to be dependent on the carbonisation temperature, heating rate, soaking time and wood species. The char yield gradually decreased with increase in carbonisation temperature and the majority of volatilisation occurred up to 800Β°C. Slow carbonisation resulted in higher char yield than rapid carbonisation. The char yield from Eucalyptus wood samples was greater than from Acacia wood. The carbon content of Eucalyptus wood char was found to be a little higher than Acacia wood char produced under similar carbonisation conditions, possibly due to relatively higher lignin content of Euculyprus wood.

A set of lignocellulosic precursors of widely varying composition was pyrolyzed under argon at WClmin to 500Β°C. Variation in the total mass and carbon yields among precursors was found to be due to variation in composition, i.e. distribution of the main organic components (lignin, holocellulose and
The utilization of various alkaline regimes for the optimal extraction and isolation of hemicellulose and cellulose from wheat straw was extensively examined. Factors investigated include varying concentrations of one alkali (KOH) and varying temperature and time of extraction, and varying the natur
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Given the interest in the development of cultivation systems with low agronomic input and environmental impact, the aim of this study was to determine the influence of tillage system (conventional tillage (CT), twoβlayer tillage (TT), surface tillage (ST) and minimum til
Polypropylene/wood fiber composites were prepared at three different temperatures: 170ΠC, 180ΠC, and 190ΠC. The surface of wood fibers was modified through the use of silane coupling agents and/or coating with polypropylene or maleated polypropylene. The fiber coating was performed by propylene poly
