Abstract:In hydrothermal treatment Cryptomeria Japonica (gymnosperm) was treated at temperatures of 270-330 °C in the presence of liquid water for 30 minutes using an autoclave of 10 L capacity. The solid product having heating values of 7,000-7,200 kcal / kg (dry basis) was obtained at yields of 48-55 %. The FT-IR, proximate and ultimate analysis results of this solid product were similar to those of the solid product obtained by hydrothermal treatment of Acacia Mangium (dicotyledonous angiosperm) reported in our prev… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
