“…The moisture content was found to be 8.10 % ± 0.014, on a wet basis, which is the same value reported by Brandão et al (2010). The test to determine the moisture content was carried out in duplicate, and the average value is reported.…”

“…Brandão et al (2010) (Immich et al 2009). However, when compared to synthetic adsorbents, the surface area of sugarcane bagasse can be considered low, since some of them present values from 500 to 1000 m 2 /g of available surface area.…”

“…Sugarcane is cultivated in several regions around the world (Latin America, Southeast Asia and Africa), and due to increased interest in biofuels generated from its processing and new pathways for the production of 'green' polymers, the cultivation of sugarcane is on the increase all over the planet. The sugarcane bagasse was chosen for this study since it originates from a renewable source, is produced in large scale generating large quantities of solid residue (280 kg of solid residue are generated for each ton of processed sugarcane), has a high retention power and low acquisition and implantation costs, providing a sustainable solution to two industrial problems: the solid residue generated by the sugarcane industry and the contamination of water produced by the petroleum industry (Brandão et al 2010).…”

Several techniques have been used to reduce the oil and grease content in aqueous streams; one excellent is bioadsorption. With a view to provide a sustainable method for the treatment of oily effluents, the aim of this study was to evaluate sugarcane bagasse as bioadsorbent to reduce the oil and grease content of aqueous effluents. Analysis of the material was performed, and the adsorption experiments were in a batch system, using a synthetic effluent. The results showed that the kinetic equilibrium occurred in 0.08 h of contact. The study of influence of pH of the aqueous phase and the temperature showed that the adsorption capacity was proportional to the pH value, but inversely proportional to the temperature. The adsorption isotherm was obtained at a temperature of 298.15 K using the Langmuir and LangmuirFreundlich models, and the maximum adsorption capacity obtained was 6.65 kg of hydrocarbon per kg of bioadsorbent. It was verified that sugarcane bagasse represents an excellent material for application in the treatment of oily aqueous effluents, since it is associated with low cost and a high adsorption capacity. The variation in the adsorption capacity observed as a function of pH of the aqueous phase was not found to be significant. This is an important characteristic of the material in terms of its industrial application, verifying the possibility for its implementation in any treatment process, demonstrating the great potential of sugarcane bagasse for use as a sustainable alternative in the reduction in oil and grease in aqueous effluents.

“…The moisture content of the corn stalk is similar to the value of 6.44% reported by Ioannidou et al (2009). The moisture content of the sugarcane stalk is similar to the value of 8.1% reported by Brandão et al (2010). Silva et al (1998) The moisture content of the coffee husk is within the range of 5.8-8.5% reported by Devi et al (2008).…”

“…Some of these materials are used for making pulp and paper (Hedjazi et al, 2009), as a roughage in animal feeding (Dong et al, 2008), producing liquid fuels (Wang et al, 2012), as thermal insulation materials (Zhou et al, 2010), as an adsorbent (Brandão et al, 2010), as microporous materials (Silva et al, 1998) and as an fermentation medium (Mazutti et al, 2010). However, these materials are renewable and can be used as energy sources to replace fossil fuels in thermochemical conversion processes such as combustion and gasification (Williams et al, 2012;Yuan et al, 2012;Kumar et al, 2008;Sun et al, 2010;Zabaniotou et al, 2010).…”

Plant residues from the major agricultural crops (wheat, rice, corn, soybean, sugarcane, coffee and cotton) are abundantly available renewable resources that can be used to supply energy through thermochemical conversion processes. The available amounts of plant residues from these crops and their physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) were determined. The annual residues from the wheat, rice, corn, soybean, sugarcane, coffee and cotton were 763.42, 698.10, 1729.92, 416.62, 16.85, 4.01 and 107.13 million tons, respectively. The total amount of plant residues was estimated at 3736.05 million tons with total energy content of 66.92 EJ. These residues can replace 2283.52 million tons of coal, 1551.78 million tons of oil and 1847.63 million m 3 of natural gas. The moisture contents were 7. 79, 6.58, 6.40, 7.30, 8.15, 7.86 and 7.45% for the wheat straw, rice straw, corn stalk, soybean stalk, sugarcane stalk, coffee husk and cotton stalk, respectively. The corn stalk and sugarcane stalk had a convex particle size distribution, the soybean stalk and cotton stalk had a concave particle size distribution, the wheat straw and rice straw had an increasing trend particle size distribution and the coffee husk had a decreasing trend particle size distribution. The average particle sizes for the wheat straw, rice straw, corn stalk, soybean stalk, sugarcane stalk, coffee husk and cotton stalk were 0.42, 0.40, 0.49, 0.43, 0.55, 0.67 and 0.38 mm, respectively. The average bulk density was 160.75, 166.29, 127.32, 242.34, 110.86, 349.06 and 230.55 kg m -3 for the wheat straw, rice straw, corn stalk, soybean stalk, sugarcane stalk, coffee husk and cotton stalk, respectively. The average porosity was 51. 25, 83.20, 58.51, 68.03, 77.58, 64.85 and 74.55% for the wheat straw, rice straw, corn stalk, soybean stalk, sugarcane stalk, coffee husk and cotton stalk, respectively. The results obtained from this study indicate that different plant residues have different physical properties.
