Effects of introduced macadamia on soil organic carbon and water stocks in subtropical agroforestry systems of southwestern China
Macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia)-based agroforestry systems, widely adopted in Yunnan Province, China since 1981, are critical for soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. However, their effects on SOC stocks and coupling mechanisms with soil water dynamics remains poorly understood. This study quantified changes in SOC and soil water stocks following the conversion from primary forest to macadamia […]
Cascading use of macadamia nutshell for production of energy and adsorbents through biomass gasification
This research delves into the viability of implementing macadamia nutshell in a cascading utilization strategy through gasification. The investigation entails a comprehensive scrutiny of the physiochemical attributes of the feedstock, coupled with an in-depth exploration of the transformations in the properties of both gaseous and solid products stemming from gasification under conditions pertinent to industry […]

Almond hulls as a biofuels feedstock: Variations in carbohydrates by variety and location in California
Hulls of the almond (Prunus dulcis (Miller) D.A. Webb) have a high content of fermentable sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose), and are a potential feedstock for biofuels and other uses. The state of California in the United States produces the majority of the world's almonds. Six almond varieties across seven counties in California were studied to […]

Preparation of peanut hull-based activated carbon by microwave-induced phosphoric acid activation and its application in Remazol Brilliant Blue R adsorption
Peanut hull; an agricultural solid waste abundantly available in China; was utilized as a precursor for preparation of activated carbon via microwave induced phosphoric acid chemical activation. To optimize the preparation conditions; the effects of the concentration of phosphoric acid; microwave power and radiation time on the adsorption property (expressed in terms of the iodine […]
