“…The LHV for oat straw was 14.83% GJ Mg −1 . Moreover, since this was found to decrease with an increasing nitrogen fertilization rate and to vary for different cultivars (14.44-15.22 GJ Mg −1 ) [39], it was similar to the level determined in the current study.…”

“…The ash content of rapeseed straw, as determined in a different study [37], was lower (5.47% DM), and it was at the same level as that of rye straw, whereas it was higher in wheat straw (6.35% DM). The mean ash content of oat straw was 3.85% DM [39]. Moreover, it decreased with an increasing nitrogen fertilization rate and varied for different cultivars (3.05-4.33% DM).…”

Solid biofuels, including straw as production residue, are still the largest energy feedstock in the structure of primary energy production from renewable energy sources. However, the properties of straw as a solid biofuel can vary depending on the species from which it was produced and the harvest period and year. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the thermophysical properties and elemental composition of six types of straw (rye, oat, triticale, wheat, corn, and rapeseed straw) obtained over three consecutive years (2020, 2021, 2022). Rye straw had the lowest moisture (mean: 10.55%), ash (mean: 2.71% DM), nitrogen (mean: 0.54% DM) and chlorine (mean: 0.046% DM) contents and the highest carbon content (mean: 47.93% DM), a higher heating value—HHV (mean: 19.03 GJ Mg−1 DM) and a lower heating value—LHV (mean: 15.71 GJ Mg−1). Triticale straw had similar properties, classifying it into the same cluster as rye straw. Corn straw had a remarkably high moisture content (mean: 48.91%), low LHV and high chlorine content. Rapeseed straw contained high levels of Cl, S, N and ash, and they were 643%, 481%, 104% and 169% higher, respectively, than those in rye straw. The sulfur, chlorine and moisture contents of the six straw types under study were highly variable during the three years of the study. Knowledge of the properties of different types of straw as energy feedstocks facilitates the logistics and organization of the supply of bioenergy installations. However, further research is needed, especially studies assessing the energy intensity and logistical costs of different types of straw used for energy purposes.

“…Oats are commonly used for such purposes, widely available in Poland, and some farmers have developed furnaces for combustion of substandard oats, which cannot be sold as an agricultural product (private communication). However, their potential for energy generation [ 27 ] or biochar production [ 28 , 29 ] has not been thoroughly studied. Field bean ( Vicia faba L.) has been selected as a promising candidate due to its implementation as an arable rotation crop in agriculture, which can fix nitrogen into the soil and help reduce cereal pests and disease [ 30 , 31 ].…”

The application of biomass as a co-feed in coal power plants and in standalone biomass power plants, as well as in char production for soil remediation, is a currently important issue. This paper reports on the investigation of biochar formation from agricultural waste crops that are used for soil upgrading, but which do not meet the standards of EU crops, as well as largescale food processing waste. These were compared to test results from basket willow, which is commonly used for energy generation. Food industry waste is often produced in cities on a large scale and is generally easier to process due to lack of other stream components. The key parameters, namely, the content of volatiles, energy content of the formed biochar and the composition of the ash, were determined for a number of herbaceous materials locally available in the European Union. All of them can be used as a cheap source of biochar. A novel procedure of capturing volatiles and hence minimizing the PAH content in the biochar, as well as enabling the recovery of energy from the volatiles is presented. Knowledge of the composition and form of elements in ash is very important for designing ash management systems if co-combustion is implemented. The aim of this study was to determine if the types of biomass are better suited for biochar production or energy generation.

This study was conducted in the laboratories of the Department of Food Sciences - College of Agriculture – University of Tikrit. The animal house of the College of Veterinary Medicine, with standard number 1601A301C011, University of Tikrit, was used for the period from 5/1/2022 to 6/1/2022. The experiment aimed to manufacture functional pasta with a 40% replacement rate Of oat flour, fortified with some medicinal plants, and a demonstration of some of its physiological effects in male rats suffering from alloxan-induced hyperglycemia, as the results of the biological experiment, for a period of 30 days, showed a significant increase in the weights of rats with H fenugreek, Z ginger, D cinnamon, and HZD, a mixture of equal proportions of fenugreek and ginger. For the two students, the highest weight gain was in the HZD mixture, which amounted to -0.32 mg/kg compared to the C2 infected control, which amounted to -25.33 mg/kg. The effect of the study on CBC parameters, the results of white blood cells (WBC) showed a significant decrease in D, reaching 9.20 cells3/mm106 when compared with the infected control, which amounted to 9.58 cells3/mm106. As for red blood cells (RBC), they decreased significantly in Z compared to C1. The results also showed a significant decrease in blood hemoglobin Hb, which reached 10.00 g/dL compared to C1, which amounted to 10.60 g/dL. As for platelets, PLT, they increased significantly in H D Z when compared with C1. As for its effect on lipid profile, the results showed a significant decrease. Cholesterol in the HZD treatment reached 83.66 mg/dL compared to C1, which was 92.33 mg/dL. The results showed that for triglycerides, there was a significant decrease in HZD, which was 67.66 mg/dL compared to C1, which was 75.66 mg/dL. As for high-density lipoprotein (HDL), it increased significantly in Z compared to C1, while low-density lipoprotein (LDL) increased in C1 and decreased. In D, as for the effects of different treatments on the glucose index, the results showed a significant decrease in Z and D, which were 184.00 and 187.50 mg/dL, respectively, compared to C1, which amounted to 237 mg/dL. As for VLDL, it decreased significantly in HDZ compared to C+, which amounted to 15.13 mg/dL.
