  2. 1. Ethanol Pulping of Reed Canary Grass

    Author : Helena Håkansson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Pulping; Nonwood plants; Reed canary grass; Ethanol; Organosolv pulping; Statistical analysis; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of processing an agricultural crop grown in Sweden to usable pulp. A further purpose was to study ethanol pulping applied to a non-wood raw material.The first part of this thesis deals with the criteria for selecting a fibre crop for further studies. READ MORE

  5. 3. Preparation and Characterization of Chemical Pulps from Wood and Reed Canary Grass

    Author : Helena Håkansson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pulping; wood; reed canary grass; acid hydrolysis; microcrystalline cellulose; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents laboratory results from ethanol pulping of reed canary grass for the production of paper pulp. The focus was on the influence of cooking pa-rameters on the delignification. The strength of the grass pulps was found to be low and the use of such pulps will therefore be limited to a few products. READ MORE

  6. 4. Nutrient supply to reed canary grass as a bioenergy crop : intercropping and fertilization with ash or sewage sludge

    Author : Eva Lindvall; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Production of renewable energy from herbaceous crops on agricultural land is of great interest since fossil fuels need to be replaced with sustainable energy sources. Reed canary grass (RCG), Phalaris arundinacea L. is an interesting species for this purpose. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nutrient supply to reed canary grass as a bioenergy crop : intercropping with legumes and fertilisation strategies for phosphorus and potassium

    Author : Eva Lindvall; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Growing energy demand and global warming are promoting research into potential new sources of renewable energy. Fossil fuels need to be replaced with sustainable energy sources to decrease emissions of greenhouse gases. Production of bioenergy from herbaceous crops on agricultural land is one alternative.
