Cachou de Laval: This was the first sulfur dye. It is obtained by heating brown coal in a rotary baker with sodium polusulfide and sulfur. It is also made by heating organic refuse with sulfur and sodium sulfide at temoeratures varying from 100⁰-350⁰C. The higher the temperature, the darker the product. Other alternatives intermediates are lignite, sawdust, bran, sulfite cellulose waste liquors (free from calcium), oils, fats and fatty acids. It appears as black hygroscopic lumps or powder. It…

study site under the different treatments. To measure grass height, 50 Disk Pasture Meter (DPM), a metal disk (diameter 45cm, weight 1500g) would be dropped from a standard height. DPM settling height would be calibrated to grass biomass at sites within the plots (grass biomass in g/m2) and diversity within these quadrats would be recorded (Waldrum et al. 2008). To measure the diversity of mesoherbivore, dung matter per 60m by 5m transects would be assessed around water holes as this would be…

show the biomass or biomass productivity at each trophic level in a given ecosystem. Biomass is the amount of living or organic matter present in an organism. Biomass pyramids show how much biomass is present in the organisms at each trophic level, while productivity pyramids show the production or turnover in…

technologies; however, there is some disadvantages in unlimited sources. The installation and maintenance prices are higher than non-renewable. Eolic energy demand a large space, and make too much noise; hydroelectric usually demands a deforestation, and biomass produces greenhouse gases (Shah, 2011). There are many advantages of using non-renewable energy. This kind has a high efficiency, is easy to transport, and is the cheapest way to produce energy; nonetheless, this type is only found in…

values [20]. Because the identical sets of electrodes were used for the EIS measurements, hydrolysate is the strong influential factor towards the charge transfer. The hydrolysate liquid after the DAP of lignocellulosic biomass involves various undefined materials derived from the biomass by hydrolysis and pyrolysis.…

collector manufacturing industry. Eighty-five percent of its annual outputs are exported to more than 40 countries and regions around the world with a well-known good quality. Austria also has done a great job on other renewables energy fields such as biomass. Since 1900s, Austrians have been kept…

Nonrenewable energy The show of a light is what gives us energy to do our everyday activities that we take for granted. What if the universe ran out of the resources used to make these events possible? What if heating in your household was not as easy of a task that could be done by pressing a simple button? This could be the problem if we continue to use nonrenewable resources. The article, Energy Resources states that the use of these resources "is increasing at an unprecedented rate due to…

uses heat from the ground to generate electricity, but it takes up space and a lot of money to get in the ground six miles deep. Biomass energy is somewhat similar to fossil fuels because it is a natural source of fuel that is living or was living that is burnt to create energy. The issue is the pollutants and emissions created along with need for land to grow biomass…

3. Results Considering the morphological characteristics of the ecotypes, the cladode shape was elliptic or ovate, the number of spines varied among three classes (many, intermediate or few), the flowers had two types of petal color (scarlet or yellow), the fruit was elliptic or ovoid and the pulp color was white, pale yellow or orange (Table 2). The OFI populations studied showed statistically significant differences for DM of the fruits, F (17, 34.24) = 31.61, p < 0.05, which varied…

A wind farm or wind power is another form of alternative energy sources just like solar, biomass, geothermal and hydroelectric energy sources. Why there is an alternative energy sources like wind power, for two reasons. First reason, if we continue to use fossil fuel, the planet may be in danger and may cause carbon dioxide emissions. The carbon dioxide is increasing the planet’s temperature, which in turn will destroy us and our entire ecosystem. The second reason is we need to find energy…
