“…These results are consistent with the data on different types of biomasses [43,47,49,52,53]. For lignin decomposition, there was no peak for any of the species studied, which may be because of its wide range of decomposition temperatures from 150 to 900°C without a sharp weight-loss peak [52][53][54]. Table 3 shows the devolatilization data of the wood of the invasive plants and A. tortilis, which were extracted from the curves of TGA and DTG according to Salaheldeen et al [49] and Chen and Kuo [52].…”

Non-woody biomass species have high-energy potentials, which could be used for bioenergy production. Invasive species are species spreading into areas, where they are not native, consequently causing environmental and economic problems. Therefore, the present study evaluated the proximate, ultimate, chemical, and fuel characteristics of wood and charcoal of three invasive nonforest tree species in Saudi Arabia: Calotropis procera, Rhazya stricta, and Phragmites australis, which were compared with the wood of Acacia tortilis, a preferable local fuelwood. All these data were discussed to investigate the possibility of using the invasive plants for energy production. The thermal behavior of wood was analyzed using thermo-gravimetric and derivative thermo-gravimetric methods. Overall, compared with the wood of A. tortilis, the woods of R. stricta and P. australis are suitable for energy production. The charcoal produced from P. australis emitted less nitrogen (N) oxide than that of R. stricta.

“…These TGA findings are in agreement with sorghum 2 and corn stalk studies. 70 Previous studies have shown that the thermogravimetric (TG) curve varies with cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin contents 68 and biomass type. 71 The residue char/ash left at 800 °C for D1, RG1, D2, and RG2 were, respectively, 22.5, 24.9, 16.6, and 19.9% (Table 2).…”

The cell wall compositional (lignin and polysaccharides) variation of two sweet sorghum varieties, Della (D) and its variant REDforGREEN (RG), was evaluated at internodes (IN) and nodes (N) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), pyrolysis−gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GCMS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and two-dimensional (2D) 1 H− 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The stalks were grown in 2018 (D1 and RG1) and 2019 (D2 and RG2) seasons. In RG1, Klason lignin reductions by 16−44 and 2−26% were detected in IN and N, respectively. The analyses also revealed that lignin from the sorghum stalks was enriched in guaiacyl units and the syringyl/guaiacyl ratio was increased in RG1 and RG2, respectively, by 96% and more than 2-fold at IN and 61 and 23% at N. The glucan content was reduced by 23−27% for RG1 and by 17−22% for RG2 at internodes. Structural variations due to changes in both cellulose-and hemicellulose-based sugars were detected. The nonacylated and γ-acylated β−O−4 linkages were the main interunit linkages detected in lignin. These results indicate compositional variation of stalks due to the RG variation, and the growing season could influence their mechanical and lodging behavior.

“…In a first stage, the fastest weight loss can be attributed to the evaporation of the water existing in pores of the maize stalk. Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are major compounds of this plant material [27]. Second stages of weight loss between 200-400ºC range can be assigned to pyrolysis of hemicellulose.…”

This study is based to a new concept, to use maize stalk for specific sorption and recovery of Cu(II) and Fe(III) from synthetic solutions. Thus, the sorption properties of the biomass resulting from the recycling of the maize stalk that reached maturity (autumn) were studied. In the first stage, the sorption properties of the maize stalk were evaluated in batch system. Moreover, in terms of water quality improvement several key parameters that influence the sorption equilibrium were evaluated. The effect of contact time (0-120min) and cations initial concentration (investigated range: 0.05-0.4 mg/L) on biomaterial sorption capacity were assessed. Kinetic studies were performed taking into consideration the initial concentration of metallic cation. The experimental data were analyzed based on first order kinetic model, pseudo-second-kinetic model and Morris Webber kinetic model. The kinetics of sorption was in accordance with the pseudo - second - kinetic model as the correlation coefficients showed (R2=0.9940 for Cu(II) and R2=0.9999 for Fe(III)). Moreover the desorption study was evaluated with hydrochloric acid and have detected to be 63% and 89% for Cu(II) and Fe(III) when 4M HCl is used. The surface of the maize stalk loaded with Cu(II) and Fe(III) was characterized by various specific techniques such as FTIR-ATR, SEM, and TG. Experimental results revealed that cations sorption process takes place on the sorbent surface. The sorption rate of each metallic cation is controlled by the formation of chemical bonds with surface polar groups. Their presence on biomass structure, evidenced by FTIR-ATR analysis, explains the behavior of maize stalk as a weak ion exchanger acid.
