Towards Sustainable Management of Pineapple Residues by Ahmed, Osumanu Haruna

“…Studies were conducted to: (i) Investigate the effect of the modification of the existing N, P, and K programme and residue management practice on pineapple fruit yield, (ii) Compare the economic viability of in situ decomposition of pineapple residues untouched (lDPR), i.e. stacking of pineapple residue (leaves, crowns, and peduncles) slashed and raked from 0.60 m x 10 m rows into 0.90 m x 10 m rows (ZBT-zero burn technique), and in situ burning pineapple residues (IBPR) (iii) Quantify the amount of humic acid (HA) that could be extracted from composted pineapple leaves using 0.10M potassium hydroxide (KOH) produced from pineapple leaves and that of analytical grade (0. 10M KOH), (iv) Compare the elemental composition (C, H, N, 0, and S), functional groups (carboxylic, phenolic OH, and total acidity), and spectral characteristics of HA extracted from composted pineapple leaves using KOH from pineapple leaves and that of analytical grade, and (v) Investigate the potential value added agricultural products that could be produced from pineapple leaves.…”

Energy efficiency characterization and optimization of mechanical stirring multiphase dispersion processes: Applied to Kanbara reactors for hot metal desulfurization by Qiang Li, Suwei Ma, Mingxia Feng, Hong Lei, Zongshu Zou

“…Herein, a validated droplet-resolved model based on a Large-scale Dispersed Phase-Resolved Volume of Fluid (LDPR-VoF) approach coupled with a subgrid-scale Large Eddy Simulation (LES) was applied to explore the characteristics of entrainment and dispersion of the lighter liquid reagent, the relevant energy utilization, such as the kinetic energy, turbulent kinetic energy, and its dissipation rate characteristics, with respect to different design and operating conditions during the mechanical stirring process. …”
