Friction factors, convective heat transfer coefficients and the Colburn analogy for industrial sugarcane juices
(Elsevier B.V. Sa, 2012-01-15)
Sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) is a relatively low-cost agricultural resource, produced mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of the planet. One of the most important applications of sugarcane juice is in the production ...
The Brazilian experience of sugarcane ethanol industry
(Springer, 2009-06-01)
Biomass has gained prominence in the last few years as one of the most important renewable energy sources. In Brazil, a sugarcane ethanol program called ProAlcohol was designed to supply the liquid gasoline substitution ...
Sugarcane response to two biotic stressors: Diatraea saccharalis and Mahanarva fimbriolata
(Int Sugar Journal Ltd, 2011-06-01)
In a field experiment in 2007/08 in São Paulo state, Brazil cane was exposed to sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis) and spittlebug (Mahanarva fimbriolata) alone or in combination. Plots comprised 2 m(2) caged and uncaged ...
SUGARCANE BAGASSE PULPING and BLEACHING: THERMAL and CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION
(North Carolina State Univ Dept Wood & Paper Sci, 2011-01-01)
Cellulose fibers were isolated from sugarcane bagasse in three stages. Initially sugarcane bagasse was subjected to a pre-treatment process with hydrolyzed acid to eliminate hemicellulose. Whole cellulosic fibers thus ...
Energy balance optimization of sugarcane crop residual biomass
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-09-01)
This work presents a mathematical model for helping mills choose sugarcane varieties for planting. It maximizes crop residual biomass energy balance by considering the difference between generated and consumed energy in ...
Characteristics of forage and feeding behavior of Nellore heifers fed hydrolyzed sugarcane
(Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012-09-01)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical characteristics of the forage and ingestive behavior of Nellore heifers fed hydrolyzed sugarcane in different periods of storage. Twenty-four heifers with initial ...
Gene Content Analysis of Sugarcane Public ESTs Reveals Thousands of Missing Coding-Genes and an Unexpected Pool of Grasses Conserved ncRNAs
(2012-06-01)
Sugarcane is the most important crop for sugar industry and raw material for bioethanol. Here we present a quantitative analysis of the gene content from publicly available sugarcane ESTs. The current sugarcane EST collection ...
Evaluating the use of predatory insects as bioindicators of metals contamination due to sugarcane cultivation in neotropical streams
(Springer, 2011-06-01)
Streams located in areas of sugarcane cultivation receive high concentrations of metal ions from soils of the adjacent areas causing accumulation of metals in the aquatic sediment. This impact results in environmental ...
Study of postures in sugarcane cutters in the Pontal of Paranapanema-SP, Brazil
(IOS Press, 2012-01-01)
The expansion of sugarcane monoculture in Brazil in the last decades has pointed out to the necessity of considering the question of sugarcane cutters occupational health. In this work we present a cross-sectional study ...
Land use change and the carbon debt for sugarcane ethanol production in Brazil
