In many Baltic regions, short-rotation willow (Salix spp.) is used as a vegetation filter for wastewater treatment and recycling of valuable nutrients to upsurge bioeconomy development. this context, four-year field trial (2016–2019) was carried out near plant in eastern Finland (Outokumpu) investigate the effect processed (WW) on biomass production well uptake capability (mainly N P) by variety schwerinii). Results indicated that WW irrigation expressively increased diameter growth yield...
In a greenhouse experiment, plant growth and copper (Cu) zinc (Zn) uptake by four Salix cultivars grown in Cu Zn contaminated soils collected from mining area Finland were tested to assess their suitability for phytoextraction. The displayed tolerance heavily throughout the experiment. After uptake, total mean concentrations leaves, shoots roots all treatments ranged 163 474 mg kg-1 776 1823 kg-1. Lime wood ash addition increased dry biomass (25-43%), chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) values...
The sustainability of transportation biofuel production value chains is under discussion as a consequence the implementation European Union Bioeconomy Strategy and renewable energy production. Greenhouse gas emissions from biomass produced for biofuel, required during process are, in many cases, greater than emission reductions biofuels that are used to replace fossil fuels. In this study, bioethanol short rotation coppice Salix schwerinii was considered cultivation harvesting distribution....
The dilute acid-catalyzed extraction of hemicellulosic monosaccharides from the short-rotation coppice Salix schwerinii E. Wolf was optimized to find a balance between yields fermentable and sugar degradation products for non-detoxified acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation with Clostridium acetobutylicum. At same time, cellulosic lignin fractions were kept as intact possible further refining. highest xylose glucose in liquid prehydrolysate 65% 9.45% their respective original content at...
