Use of Kikuyo (Pennisetum Clandestinum L), residue from the pruning of green areas for obtaining pyroligneous acid for agricultural purposes

The large volumes of biomass generated in the maintenance of green areas are considered a focal point for the production of organic waste. In the present work, it is proposed to obtain piroleñoso acid from the precursor Pennisetum Clandestinum L (kikuyo), a very common waste product of pruning and g...

Descrição
Resumo:The large volumes of biomass generated in the maintenance of green areas are considered a focal point for the production of organic waste. In the present work, it is proposed to obtain piroleñoso acid from the precursor Pennisetum Clandestinum L (kikuyo), a very common waste product of pruning and gardening; Describes the thermochemical process for the validation of the technology for the production of the product and utilizable byproducts (coal and tar) and the evaluation of the macro elements and the structural components of the substance by means of the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR) method. (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), by a direct comparison, it is shown that its properties are similar to the product from Bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescense f) which has characteristics that can increase root growth in vegetables, in farm animals improves the digestibility of Nutrients and reduces harmful intestinal coliforms. The results obtained describe a yield of between 20 and 30% for the gases with a maximum delivered energy that oscillates between 150 and 1000 kcal.
