Agricultural Wastes

(2007b) studied polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in bio-crudes derived from rice straw, rice husk, sugarcane bagasse and coconut shell after induction-heating pyrolysis; recovered bio-crude from rice busk and sugarcane bagasse contained higher benzo[a]pyrene than that from rice straw and coconut shell. According to the research carried out by Mishra and Kumar (2007), the dry powder of cyanobacterial biomass was a good additive for the production of laccase with a higher enzyme production and the diminution of the inhibitory effects of Cu. (2007) aimed to evaluate the performance of bagasse ash (an agricultural waste) blended cement concrete, and disclosed that it was a superior type of concrete due to the lower corrosion rate of reinforcing steel and the reduced rate of chloride penetration, as well as enhanced compressive strength.
