Abstract:
An increase in biofuel demand aligned with public policies has fueled the expansion of sugarcane into Goiás and Mato Grosso do Sul in the Cerrado. Geographic, temporal and physical asset specificities delimit the area from which mills can procure sugarcane, making sugarcane producers and mills dependent on each other. Thus contracting is a common practice in sugarcane production in the Cerrado and its success directly impacts the sustainability of the ethanol expansion. We fill a gap in the literature on producers’ contract acceptance and trust by determining the factors that affect contract perception and trust with contractors. Using primary data from the states of Goiás and Mato Grosso do Sul we estimate ordered logit models using producer’s perceptions, their characteristics and that of their enterprise. Profits and experience are important factors for a producer when considering a contract. Communication, transparency and other farmer’s perception of a mill were important in building trust. Mills wanting to improve their chances of signing a contract should focus on more participation in the community and on better communication with farmers.

Abstract:
Abstract Peruvian regions for sugarcane planting produce sugarcanes throughout the year with a high average productivity. The objective of this article is to analyze the role of agents in the sugarcane supply chain to Peruvian mills and their relationship with the practice of agrarian contracts to sugarcane production. The perception of landowners and farmers about bioenergy and their predisposition to plant energy crops is also investigated. Field interviews are conducted with the main agents of the sugarcane production chain in the major producing regions. Statistical analysis of data from field interviews indicates that the relationship between owners and sugarcane producers is of land leasing. Intermediate agents act as a fundamental part of the sugarcane supply chain. The sharecropping or sugarcane purchase contract is an instrument that is established between middlemen and small independent producers, whether they are owners or tenants. The middlemen participation in commercialization can reach 30–40% of the sugarcane production. Most mills prefer to produce sugarcane in own lands. A relatively high degree of inequity in favor of the middlemen appears in the intermediation process because, in general, the mills prefer this intermediation in their commercial practice. A large number of landowners and tenants are familiar with notions of energy crops, particularly in relation to sugarcane and have a positive vision about them for the environmental sustainability. However, their interest in planting bioenergy crops is less. Friendly and equitable relations between agents will provide more economic and social stability to the Peruvian sugarcane agroindustry.

Abstract:
The sugar and alcohol sectors are dynamic as a result of climate alterations, the introduction of sugarcane varieties, and new technologies. Despite these factors, Brazil stands out as the main producer of sugarcane worldwide, being responsible for 45% of the production of fuel ethanol. Several varieties of sugarcane have been developed in the past few years to improve features of the plant. This, however, led to the challenge of which variety producers should choose to plant on their property. In order to support this process, this research aims to test the application of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method to support producers to select which sugarcane variety to plant on their property. To achieve this goal, the research relied on a single case study performed on a rural property located inland of São Paulo state, the main producer state in Brazil. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the approach used, specifically owing to the adaptability capacity of the AHP method.

Abstract:
The diversity in agronomic practices being used by sugarcane producers in Brazil determines differences in economic performance and cost structure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cost of six systems of agronomic practices using fixed or variable rates for soil amendment, fertilizer, and defensive applications and assess the profitability of these systems at three scales of sugarcane production. We then describe the data sample related to the 2019–2020 harvest season and collected from fifty-five sugarcane producers in the central-south region of Brazil. Thereafter, using a quantitative approach, a cost analysis was performed, and the cumulative frequency of the net revenue for the three scales of production (small, medium, and large), was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The cost analysis indicated that fertilizer had the highest cost considering the agronomic practices adopted at the three scales of production analyzed. The cumulative frequency analysis results from the Monte Carlo simulation showed the highest net revenue per hectare for medium sugarcane producers. In addition, the presence of economies of scale was not confirmed because the lowest cost was found in small-scale sugarcane producers and the highest net revenue was obtained by medium-scale sugarcane producers.

Abstract:
Many agroindustries that process sugarcane raw to produce sugar and ethanol, and for energy cogeneration have difficulties to obtain all the necessary raw material. The agrarian contract practice can allow access to land in order to increase the production of sugarcane, without immobilizing resources in terms of the purchase of land, reducing the idle capacity of industrial plant, and increasing the cogeneration of energy by burning bagasse and sugarcane straw. It appears that the form of production of sugarcane (i.e., through land leasing, sharecropping, independent producers, etc.) can significantly affect the total costs of the industrial process. This work looks to find an empirical relation between the type of sugarcane producers and the energy produced by the mill based on data of the Agricultural Census of Brazil and monitoring data of power plant operation parameters of a typical mill in Brazil. It was found that the sugarcane raw coming from lands worked for tenants and sharecroppers increased his participation 112% and 469% respectively in the energy generation in the period 2006 to 2017.

Abstract:
Abstract Population explosions of the stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans) have become a serious concern for livestock producers near sugarcane mills in some regions of Brazil due to the insect’s massive reproduction on sugarcane byproducts and waste. Despite the limited efficiency of insecticides for controlling stable fly outbreaks, producers still rely on chemical control to mitigate the alarming infestations in affected areas. This study evaluated the susceptibility of S. calcitrans populations to cypermethrin in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Stable flies were tested from three field populations and two colonies, established from flies previously collected at sugarcane mills. Wild flies were collected with Nzi traps in areas of sugarcane plantations. Both wild and colonized flies were exposed to eleven concentrations of cypermethrin in impregnated filter paper bioassays. All the populations proved to be resistant to cypermethrin, with resistance factors among field populations ranging from 6.8 to 38.6. The intensive use of insecticides has led to the development of pyrethroid resistance in stable fly populations in the proximities of sugarcane mills in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.

Abstract:
The production of sweets and similar sugarcane products is an activity performed by smallholder farmers from Acorizal, Cuiabá, Jangada, Nossa Senhora do Livramento, and Santo Antônio do Leverger, in Mato Grosso. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the socioeconomic and productive aspects of rural producers (individuals and/or families) that work with the production of sweets and sugarcane derivatives in municipalities of the ‘Baixada Cuiabana’ region. 145 questionnaires were applied to rural producers in the period from March 2019 to January 2020. Among the main results, it was verified that the predominant profile is of rural producers with a low education level, with properties with a size smaller than a fiscal module (the size varies for each municipality), without DAP possession and/or access to sectorial public policies, such as PRONAF and ATER services. Furthermore, the main income source of the interviewees was the production of sweets and similar sugarcane-derived products, and the financial gain of most individuals was up to a minimum wage. Therefore, it is verified that the low education level and the absence of technical orientation might be conditioning for the permanence of farmers in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability.

Abstract:
The feasibility of integrating ethanol production into an existing sugar mill was analyzed by a stochastic spreadsheet model. As the price of corn continues to rise, ethanol producers will eventually need to look at other feedstock alternatives. Sugarcane has been proven to work well in the production of ethanol in Brazil. The results indicated existing U.S. sugar mills could economically switch to ethanol production. As imports into the United States threaten to undermine the U.S. sugar program, sugarcane producers have a viable alternative. At the very least, the alternative exists to diversify their income streams with ethanol production.

Abstract:
Plant diseases pose a major challenge in the agricultural sector, which affects plant development and crop productivity. Sugarcane farming is a highly organized part of farming. Owing to the desirable condition for sugarcane cultivation, India stands among the second largest producers of sugarcane over the globe. At the same time, sugarcane gets easily affected by multifarious diseases which significantly influence crop productivity. The recently developed computer vision (CV) and deep learning (DL) models with an effective design can be employed for the detection and classification of diseases in sugarcane plant. The disease detection in sugarcane plant is not accurate in the existing techniques. This paper presents a quantum behaved particle swarm optimization based deep transfer learning (QBPSO-DTL) model for sugarcane leaf disease detection and classification which produces high accuracy. The proposed QBPSO-DTL method is designed and trained for the prediction of diseased leaf images. The proposed QBPSO-DTL technique encompasses the design of optimal region growing segmentation to determine the affected regions in the leaf image. In addition, the SqueezeNet model is employed as a feature extractor and the deep stacked autoencoder (DSAE) model is applied as a classification model. Finally, the hyperparameter tuning of the DSAE model is carried out by using the QBPSO algorithm. For demonstrating the enhanced outcomes of the QBPSO-DTL approach, a wide range of experiments were implemented and the results ensured the improvements of the QBPSO-DTL model.

Bibliography: leaves 68-71.
The Kenyan sugar industry continues to face the task of being competitive in a liberalized global economy that has witnessed a trend in declining sugar prices and increasing local production costs. This dissertation attempts to investigate possible options that could assist Kenyan sugar industry to cope with the crisis. One such option is the diversification of the sugar industry's product base. Expanding their business to energy as a co-product to sugar processing, sugar companies could generate additional revenue from surplus electricity sales to the national utility. In Mauritius, gross revenue of USD 50 million, equivalent to 90% of that accruing to the miller for cane processing is generated from bagasse-based energy sales. On the basis of the Mauritian and other experiences the research concludes that Kenya sugar industries have the potential to export 43, 258, and 306 GWh of electricity to the national grid, depending on the mode of operation of the power plant. Thus the potential for revenue expansion through power sales for the Kenyan sugar industry is substantial. Power sector reforms have seen the entry into the electricity market of independent power producers (IPPs), and so this presents a good opportunity for sugar companies to enter into power purchase agreements with the national utility for the supply of power. Anaerobic digestion systems, used in the treatment and management of industrial effluent provide an additional benefit of generating boiler fuel in the form of biogas in sugar industries of Kenya. This technology and its application to the sugarcane industry are reviewed as part of this thesis.

Abstract:
The environmental performance of production companies is increasingly becoming part of strategies for the competitive marketing of their products, as consumers grow more aware of environmental issues surrounding industry. Similar products can be compared by the tool of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) from the perspective of their impacts on the environment from which their production resources are drawn and to which their burdens are released. There is the inherent perception that products made from renewable resources are environmentally more desirable than those which are produced from finite resources. This thesis investigates whether this conception is valid for the case of ethanol produced from biomass, by describing and interpreting the various stages of the production process by means of an LCA. Sugarcane (Saccharum o/ficinarum) contains 12 - 17% sugars on a wet basis, and 68 -72% moisture. The sugar composition is 90% sucrose and 10% glucose or fructose. In the conventional sugar production industry, syrup containing about 34% sucrose (molasses) remains after sugar crystals are formed from the clarified juice. This sucrose can be fermented to produce ethanol whose uses include potable consumption and the production of chemicals, but there is growing interest in its possible use as an additive for motor-grade gasoline, as well as its use as neat fuel to replace crude-oil based fuels. This thesis presents a cradle to gate life cycle study carried out with the aim of determining the environmental consequences of producing ethanol from sugarcane molasses. The investigation was done for a sugar producing company in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province of South Africa, whose interests also lie in the beneficiation of value addition products from sugarcane. The goal of the study was to produce a comprehensive inventory of all the energy and material inputs and outputs involved in the production of the 1 kl (1000 litres) of bio-ethanol, using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Concepts of carbon closure and fossil energy ratio were chosen to represent measures of the degree of renewability of the system, and the results were compared to values derived from the literature on life cycle assessments of similar bioenergysystems.

Abstract:
The interest in using sugarcane straw as a feedstock for bioenergy production has been increased considerably. However, indiscriminate straw removal may negatively affect soil functioning. Therefore, this work aimed to quantify and characterize soil solution translocating along the profile, under straw removal rates from the soil surface. Lysimeter systems were built with 1, 20, 50, and 100 cm soil columns, with a sandy clay loam texture, from a commercial sugarcane field in Piracicaba-SP, southeastern Brazil. The experiment was conducted in open area, where the lysimeters were subjected to rainfall and sun radiation. After the soil stabilization within the lysimeters, the treatments were added, consisting of four straw amounts (0, 3, 6, and 12 Mg ha-1), representing straw removal rates of 100 (bare soil), 75, 50, and 0%, respectively. After one year of the first straw addition, the same straw amounts were added again simulating the second harvest. Drained solution was collected and quantified by 17 months and soil moisture was determined over a period of two months using sensors. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration was measured in automatic analyzer. The soil solution and straw solution, made in water infusion, were characterized in High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to verify the presence of toxic compounds. After that, straw and soil solution were used in tests with soybean seed to evaluate the effects in plant germination and initial growth. At the end of the experiment, soil bulk density and soil organic carbon (SOC) analyses were performed. Remaining straw was weight before the new addition, and weight again at the end to determine the decomposition rates. The accumulated volume of solution drained was 30, 11 and 4% lower under 100, 75 and 50% removal rates compared to no removal. Bare soil stored less water, indicating susceptibility to lose water by evaporation. Simulation showed that 100% and 75% removal can induce longer periods of water restriction, which impair sugarcane growth. The DOC production on topsoil was higher in no straw removal; the retention was higher in 1 to 20 cm in no removal and higher in 20 to 50 cm in 50 and 75% removal rates. Bare soil released more DOC below 01 cm indicating a possible C loss. Below 100 cm DOC leachate was quite similar in all treatments, what shows a higher C retention and small C loss even in higher DOC production. Even with differences in DOC retention, increases in C stock below 5 cm were not noticed. We found many phenolic compounds in the straw solution, not found in the soil solution, indicating that in natural conditions straw does not release toxic compounds into soil solution. Plant growth was negatively affected by straw solution, but not by soil solution. Our findings suggest that the medium straw maintenance prevents variations and loss on soil water content. Higher straw amount increases DOC production, which likely alters its composition and subsequent retention in soil. Carbon stock did not increase in the soil subsurface, but probably will in the long-term. The higher straw removal, proportionally, the higher the C losses in the form of CO2 and DOC, consequently the lower soil C retention. More straw on soil surface release more C amounts to the soil, retained or translocated with soil water, may be stored in deeper soil layers. Higher water percolation in the soil profile does not mean higher C losses by leaching in deeper soil. This study has the practical objective of finding an amount of straw to be maintained in the field that ensures the C storage and the better soil functioning, and also supply feedstock for bioenergy production.
O interesse no uso da palha de cana-de-açúcar como matéria-prima para a produção de bioenergia vem crescendo consideravelmente. No entanto, a remoção excessiva da palha pode afetar negativamente o funcionamento do solo. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi quantificar e caracterizar a solução ao longo do perfil sob níveis de remoção de palha da superfície do solo. Para isso, foi construído um sistema de lisímetros com colunas de 1, 20, 50 e 100 cm de solo, de textura franco argilo arenosa, proveniente de área comercial de cana-de-açúcar em Piracicaba-SP, Brasil. O experimento foi conduzido em área aberta, sujeito a precipitação e luz natural. Depois da estabilização do solo dentro dos tubos, foram adicionados os seguintes tratamentos: 0, 3, 6 e 12 Mg ha-1 de massa seca, representando 100 (solo nu), 75, 50 e 0% de intensidade de remoção de palha, respectivamente, sendo adicionados novamente após um ano. A solução percolada foi coletada e quantificada por 17 meses, a umidade do solo foi determinada por dois meses usando sensores. A concentração de carbono orgânico dissolvido (COD) foi mensurada com analisador automático. A solução do solo e solução da palha, feita por infusão em água, foram caracterizadas em HPLC para verificar a presença de compostos tóxicos. Posteriormente, as soluções da palha e solo foram usadas em testes de sementes de soja para avaliar os efeitos na germinação e crescimento inicial. Ao final do experimento, foram realizadas análises de densidade do solo e carbono orgânica do solo (COS). A palha remanescente foi pesada após um ano, anterior a nova adição, e pesada novamente ao final do experimento, para determinar a taxa de decomposição. O volume de solução percolado foi 30, 11 e 4% menor em 100, 75 e 50% do que em 0% de remoção, respectivamente. O solo descoberto armazenou menos água, indicando susceptibilidade à perda de água por evaporação. A simulação mostrou que 100 e 75% de remoção induzem longos períodos de restrição hídrica, que pode prejudicar o crescimento da planta. A produção de COD na camada superficial foi maior no solo sem remoção; a retenção foi maior de 1 a 20 cm em solo sem remoção, e maior em 20 a 50 cm em 50 e 75% de remoção. O solo descoberto liberou mais COD em de 20 cm do que em superfície, indicando perda de C. Abaixo de 100 cm, o COD lixiviado foi similar nos tratamentos, indicando grande retenção de C e pequenas perdas por lixiviação, mesmo em alta produção de COD. Mesmo com diferenças na retenção de COD, não foi identificado aumento no estoque de C abaixo de 5 cm. Foram encontrados compostos fenólicos na solução da palha, não encontrados na solução do solo, indicando que em condições naturais a palha não libera quantidades significativas de compostos tóxicos na solução do solo. O crescimento de plantas foi negativamente afetado pela solução da palha, mas não pela solução do solo. Nossos resultados sugerem que a manutenção de quantidade média de palha previne perdas e variação no conteúdo de água do solo. Maior quantidade de palha aumenta a produção de COD, que provavelmente altera sua composição, alterando a retenção no solo. O estoque de C não aumentou consideravelmente em subsuperfície, mas muito provavelmente aumentará em escala de tempo maior. Quanto maior a remoção de palha, proporcionalmente maior as taxas de C liberadas na forma de CO2 e COD em subsuperfície, consequentemente, menor a retenção de C no solo. Maiores quantidades de palha na superfície liberam mais C para o solo, retido ou translocado com a água, podendo ser estocado em maiores profundidades do solo. Maior percolação de água no solo não significa maiores perdas de C por lixiviação em profundidade.

This thesis investigates the use of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic methods for rapid measurement of nutrient elements in mill mud and mill ash. Adoption of NIR-based analyses for carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and silicon will allow Australian sugarcane farmers to comply with recent legislative changes, and act within recommended precision farming frameworks. For these analyses, NIR spectroscopic methods surpass several facets of traditional wet chemistry techniques, dramatically reducing costs, required expertise and chemical exposure, while increasing throughput and access to data. Further, this technology can be applied in various modes, including laboratory, at-line and on-line installations, allowing targeted measurement.

Abstract:
Even though the Brazilian ethanol and sugar production system (based on sugarcane industry) have been providing large amounts of bioenergy, the extensive amounts of organic wastes generated cannot be ignored when it comes to sustainability. Using these biomasses to produce biomethane through anaerobic digestion has been proven as a promising way to tackle this issue. This study investigated the biomethane potential of the co-digestion of these biomasses: SF (sugarcane straw : filter cake = 8:2), SFV (sugarcane straw : filter cake : vinasse = 1:4:45), and D (digestate separated from AD of SFV). Three treatments autoclaving (AU), alkaline (AL) treatment using 6% (w/w) NaOH and the combination of these two (AUAL) were then conducted on SF and SFV as pre-treatments; on D as post- treatments. In the biomethane potential tests of untreated material, the highest methane yield was achieved by SFV with 275.28 ± 11 N ml CH4/g VS, followed by SF with 223.25 ± 10 N ml CH4 g-1 VS, substrate D also resulted in a methane potential of 144.69 ± 2 N ml CH4 g-1 VS. As pre-treatments, AL and AUAL both showed increase in methane yield (between 36.0% and 49.1%) and methane production rate. As post-treatments, AU, AL and AUAL showed distinctive results in methane production, with 33.8%, 99.8% and 128.8% increase, respectively. In comparison with pre-treatment, post-treatment showed a better performance in increasing methane production. The following feeding experiments performed in continuous stirred-tank reactors showed that AL treatment led to an average of 248% increase in methane yield.

Full text
Abstract:
A compost consisting 95% of the sugar mill byproducts: bagasse, filter press mud, and fly ash, applied at 5 t ha$ sp{-1}$, increased vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal infection of sugarcane roots in one of three experimental fields in Barbados. In a plant cane field, compost stimulated formation of intracellular hyphal coils and arbuscules, but not vesicles or hyphae. Infection was greater in roots 35 cm and 65 cm than 5 cm distant from the plant stem, and compost effects were not significant at 5 cm. Two other sources of phosphorus, filter press mud and triple superphosphate, did not affect and suppressed mycorrhizal infection, respectively. Two ratoon crops showed no residual effect of compost on mycorrhizal infection. Compost also stimulated tillering, phosphorus content, and perhaps yield of cane, but did not differentially effect high versus low tillering or sloped versus flat areas. Root length, weight, and specific root length were unaffected by compost addition, but root branching was decreased.

There have been a number of support initiatives rendered to the small-scale sugarcane farmers in Mpumalanga but the sugarcane production there has remained low. This raised some questions on the efficient use of available resources and the fruitfulness of the Producer Development Initiatives (PDIs). Justification for further assistance to the small-scale farmers requires empirical evidence of efficient resource use. This study employed the stochastic frontier production function to calculate the technical, allocative and cost efficiency. This study provides insight into three issues: the levels of technical, economic and allocative efficiencies of small-scale sugarcane farmers; the relationship between efficiency level and various farm/farmer specific factors; and implications of policy and strategies for improving small-scale sugarcane production. The technical, allocative and economic efficiencies of small-scale sugarcane farming were estimated in order to identify the potential increase in production without incurring additional costs. The study used data obtained from a field survey covering 231 small-scale sugarcane farmers in the Nkomazi region for the 2009/2010. sugarcane production season. According to the stochastic frontier production function using the Cobb-Douglas model, labour, herbicides and fertilizer showed significant positive effects on sugarcane production. The results also indicated that the small-scale sugarcane farmers suffer from considerable lack technical, allocative and cost efficiency. The mean technical, allocative and cost efficiency estimates are 68.5%, 61.5% and 41.8% respectively. A Tobit regression was used to analyse the impact of the farm/farmer characteristics on efficiency. The impact analysis revealed that age, level of education and gender are significant determinants of technical efficiency. On the other hand, level of education, off-farm income, land size and experience are significant determinants of allocative efficiency. In so far as cost efficiency is concerned, the significant determinants are level of education, land size and experience in sugarcane farming. The findings of the study justify the need for improved agricultural partnerships between the sugar mills and the sugarcane farmers. An example of such collaboration would be if millers were to not only give credit to the farmers, but also give technical guidance to small producers in return for the delivery of a specific quantity and quality of cane at a stipulated time. The collective efforts of these farmers and millers, once harmoniously co-ordinated, can enhance production efficiency and economic prosperity. Also, appropriate policy formulation and implementation is an effective instrument to improvement in farm efficiency and productivity which promotes overall growth of the economy. Therefore, there is need for all stakeholders (both private and public sector) to make combined efforts to remove the bottlenecks that have constrained effective policy implementation in, and its accrued benefits to, South African agriculture.

Abstract:
AbstractPulses form an important part of agriculture in India given that the country is the largest producer, consumer and importer of pulses. Owing to their natural resilience to extreme weather conditions, low water requirements and being environmentally benign, pulses have been traditionally a smallholder’s crop. However, with poor price realization, farmers are switching towards other remunerative crops such as sugarcane, soybean, among others. Unlike rice and wheat, pulses are not covered by the regular public procurement system which makes marketing of pulses at fair and remunerative prices a challenge for the farmers. Pulses are no longer a poor man’s diet given the escalating consumer prices. Nonetheless, it is considered as an important source of protein (given the large vegetarian diet base in India), consumption of which is being promoted to address the observed protein gap in the diets. Over time, per capita availability of pulses has declined like other traditional cereals. With changing consumption patterns and emerging dietary deficiencies, there is scope for enhancing consumption of pulses through traditional and value-added products.

Abstract:
Abstract With the ever increasing need for Nigeria to incorporate the local industries in the oil and gas sector, to reduce the total production cost of a barrel of oil and reduce the need of depending on foreign products used in oil and gas processes. This has mandated for local materials to be tested as an alternative to some imported products used in oil and gas production processes. This research work is focused on determining the rheological behavior of drilling mud using foreign mica and sugar cane fibre as loss circulation materials. Water based muds were formulated from sugarcane fibre that is locally sourced, and the conventionally used foreign Mica. Laboratory tests were carried out on the different muds formulated and their rheological properties (yield stress, shear stress, plastic viscosity and shear rate are evaluated). The concentration of the LCM were varied, the expected outcome of the research work aims at lowering the total drilling cost by reducing the importation of foreign polymer which promotes the development of local content in the oil and gas industry. The research compares the rheology and filtration results of mud samples and the effects of varying the concentration (1g, 3g, and 5g) of both foreign fibre (Mica) and sugarcane fibre, determining the changes in their rheological properties. The total volume of each mud sample is equivalent to 350ml which represent one barrel (42gal) in the lab. From the result, at concentration of 3g, the sugarcane fibre mud has a better rheology than the Mica mud, but at a concentration above 5g, Mica mud shows a better yield point values than sugarcane fibre mud, that is, as the concentration of sugarcane fibre is increased, the rheological properties of the mud increased, till the concentration of 5g and above is attained in a 350ml lab barrel. The viscosity, filtrates and filter cake thickness of the drilling fluid produced from the sugarcane fibre were almost at par with that of foreign based Mica. It's recommended that the sugarcane fibre should be considered as an alternative to Mica as a loss circulation material, with more research on the oil based mud with sugar cane fibre as loss circulation materials.

Full text
Abstract:
The genus Aurantiochytrium, a heterotrophic marine protist, produces significant amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids and carotenoids and is promising as an alternative source of those lipids. This research aimed to utilize lignocellulosic biomass, which is abundant on land and does not compete with food supply, for fatty acid production by Aurantiochytrium limacinum strain SR21. Sugarcane bagasse soaked in diluted sulfuric acid was blasted by steam explosion and subsequently saccharified by the enzyme. When SR21 was cultivated in the medium containing saccharified liquid of sugarcane bagasse, the cell growth was almost abolished as compared with the control medium with the same glucose concentration, suggesting the presence of growth-inhibiting components in the saccharified liquid. The growth and fatty acid production of SR21 was significantly inhibited in the presence of furans and phenolic compounds previously reported to be generated by heat treatment of lignocellulosic biomass. Among them, furfural was detected in the bagasse saccharified liquid at the concentration that could inhibit the growth of SR21. Removal of such compounds by activated charcoal restored the cell growth and fatty acid productivity.

Abstract:
Several technologies have been proposed to reduce the environmental impact caused by greenhouse emissions (CO2) from fossil fuel combustion processes. One of them is the use of biomass as feedstock in gasification processes. Biomass fuels which include energy crops, agricultural and forestry residues, and municipal, industrial, and animal wastes can serve as renewable feedstock for thermal gasification to produce gaseous and liquid fuels. The inclusion of biomass as feedstock in thermal conversion processes does not increase the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere because biomass is a carbon neutral fuel. The sugarcane agriculture industry around the world produces a great amount of wastes, e.g., only in Colombia about 9 million tons of bagasse wastes are produced per year. That great amount of bagasse wastes can cause pollution of natural sources (land, water, and air) if waste handling systems and storage and treatment structures are not properly managed. If thermal gasification technology is developed for sugarcane bagasse wastes (SCBW), the negative environmental impact from both SCBW and fossil-fuels could be mitigated. The current paper deals with i) SCBW adiabatic gasification modeling using air-steam blends for partial oxidation and ii) pyrolysis kinetic model to determine, by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the SCBW activation energy (E). The Chemical Equilibrium with Applications program (CEA), developed by NASA, was used to estimate the effect of both the equivalence ratio (ER) and steam to fuel ratio (S:F) on adiabatic temperature, gas quality (gas composition and energy density), and energy recovery of an unlimited number of species (∼150). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was carried out using N2 as carrier gas and under different heating rates (β: 5, 10, 20, and 40 °C/min). The activation energy (E) was estimated based in the results from TGA and using the isoconversional method (i.e., free-model). In general for the range of parameters studied (0.3<S:F<0.8 and 2<ER<6), the results from equilibrium adiabatic modeling (CEA) showed that increasing ER and (S:F) ratios increases the production of H2 and CO2 but decreases the production of CO. At ER <4, the equilibrium temperature decreases with increased ER, but at ER > ∼ 4.0, it remains stable. The production of CH4 is only possible at ER>4. The average value of the activation energy, estimated from the kinetics model, was 266 kJ/kmol.

Abstract:
Abstract The aim of this work is to develop and assess an eco-friendly carbon-based composite coating for piston ring applications. The coatings were produced from sugarcane waste and Mo, NiCr, and CrC powders using high-velocity oxyfuel spraying and thermal chemical vapor deposition. SEM-EDS and XRD analysis confirms the presence of carbides and oxides that cause coating hardness to increase with increasing temperature. At 550 °C, under a 20 N load with a sliding velocity 0.3 m/sec, the friction coefficient of the coating was found to be 0.2, the wear value was 130 μm, and friction force was 4N. The results indicate that the friction and wear properties of the coatings improve with increasing temperature due to the formation of tribo-oxidative films and the effects of graphitization associated with the presence of carbon.
