Eucalyptus Pellita

Forestry development which is oriented towards meeting the raw materials of the forestry industry is one of them with industrial plantations. The types developed are adapted to the needs of the industry and which have high economic value. Eucalyptus pellita F. Muell is one of the fast growing species that is very important for the pulp and paper industry. The advantages of this Eucalyptus as a fast growing plant are short rotation, few disease attacks, many benefits, and high economic value. One of the parameters of vegetative growth is the diameter, which in this case is measured by different stand age classes. So the research aims to determine the effect of age on the distribution of diameters and suspect of relationship patterns. The plant material is derived from clones, namely Clone A which is the result of selection from progeny test which will produce selected clones based on specified criteria and one of them is Clone A which is now a commercial clone since 2012. Propagation through vegetative tissue culture (as mother plant) which is then made shoot cuttings in the stool plant. The study was conducted in HTI PT Surya Hutani Jaya (PT SRH) Sebulu District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan Province by determining the research plots by purposive sampling with RAK ​​and 3 replications. Furthermore, doing a diameter census (DSD) and numbering of all tree compilers stands in a circular research plot with an area of ​​0.05 ha, circle radius 12.6 m on stands aged 6 months (0.5 years), 2, 4 and 5 years. The results obtained from this study which are based on the analysis of variance (ANOVA) shows that stand age has a very significant effect on the distribution of diameters, where the results of the BNT 5% test indicate that among the average diameters per age class (6 months, 2, 4 and 5 years) show significantly different from each other. The linear regression relationship between age and diameter distribution of the average stand formed with the equation formed was: Y = 3.96 + 2.2777X, with values ​​R2 = 0.9730 and r = 0.9864.

The economic value of the Abaca banana is on the trunk which contains fiber for valuable textile and paper industry raw materials. The multipurpose fiber and its prospects are quite good, so the abaca plant gets a lot of attention from various community groups both private, state-owned, cooperative and farmers. Propagation through multiplication humps is very low, planting material is easily damaged in transportation, is not durable and requires large space so that transportation costs are high. One alternative to overcome the provision of healthy, large and fast seedlings is to use seedlings from tissue culture. The aim of the study is to get the right thiamin and leaf fertilizer concentrations at the acclimatization stage. The experimental design used was a 2-factor Complete Randomized Design, Thiamin concentration (1 ml / l, 2 ml / l, 3 ml / l) and leaf fertilizer (0.5 ml / l, 1 ml / l, 1.5 ml / l). The data obtained were analyzed for diversity at 5% level and further tests using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) level of 5%. The results showed no interaction between thiamin and leaf fertilizer, Thiamin 2 ml / l gave the best results on all parameters and 1.5 ml / l leaf fertilizer could increase plant height and the number of leaves of abaca banana plants.Keywords: Thiamin, leaf fertilizer, abaca banana, acclimatization

This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the research status on snail shells as inspiring engineering materials in Science and Technology development. Snail shells which represent the bio-shell waste of snails' remnants from restaurants, eateries or snail sellers constitute a serious degree of environmental threat with little or no economic value. Their effective utilization can bring immense economic prosperity. They are very useful raw materials in the treatment of waste water and the purification of aqueous solutions. They can also be used in the production of naturally based materials and for the preparation of calcium for medicinal purposes. Snail shells can be used as fillers in the paper industry to improve the paper capacity or in the cosmetic industries as face powder. Snail shells are suitable reinforcement materials for the production of composites applicable in the automotive components such as pistons, connecting rods and brake pads. Where flexural strength, hardness and impact strength are of paramount importance such as automobile parts, snail shells reinforced unsaturated polyester composites should be given priority. They are good alloying agents for aluminum based composites. The researches in this area are growing very fast, there is need therefore for continuous and upgraded review on this theme.

Eucalyptus pellita is a type of woody plant that is widely used as raw materials of pulp and paper so that the need for wood from this type of plant is increasing. Improvements in wood quality such as cellulose deposition and increased growth rates are needed to support the supply of raw materials for the pulp and paper industry. One technology to change the composition of wood is the modification of plant cell walls through the transformation of xylolukanase gene which in other plants such as Populus alba and Acacia mangium have been shown to increase cellulose deposition and spur growth. The purpose of this study was to obtain an efficient xyloglucanase transformation method in E. pellita using Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Sprouts E. pellita 006 and 06A with different ages of 8 and 15 days are used as plant material for transformation. The sonication treatment of the sprouts prior to the transformation was also applied to determine the effect on transformation efficiency. Transformation is done by soaking the seeds that have been through the treatment of sonication and without sonication on the suspension of Agrobacterium carrying plasmid pAa XEG300 and subsequently grown on the selection medium. Sprouts E. pellita 006 aged 15 days without sonication treatment showed the highest percentage of regeneration in the selection media that is equal to 72%. Gene integration testing through DNA amplification with specific primers showed a ribbon of xyloglucanase with a size of 709 bp.

Coppice With Standards

Coppice with standards and coppice forests are the result of silvicultural systems widely applied until the mid-twentieth century, mainly for fuel production. Similar to energy plantations in Scandinavia and Germany the above-mentioned systems are characterised by a short rotation. The present paper tries to show that, owing to efficient logging methods, energy wood can be produced from coppice and coppice with standards forests so cheaply that it proves to be highly competitive compared to oil. The economic value of coppice and coppice with standards was calculated on the basis of models and compared to high forest cultivation. Contrary to high forests, the coppice with standards system is cost-covering on poor, well developed and easily accessible sites.

Waste management is still defined as limited to collection, transportation and garbage disposal. The follow-up of the meaning is the provision of facilities such as garbage bins, garbage trucks and waste collection land. Waste management has not included waste separation. Segregation of waste can minimize the amount of waste that must be discharged to the final place. Segregation of waste can supply recyclable raw materials and handicrafts made from garbage. The manufacture of handicraft products from garbage is still local and requires socialization and training. It is needed to increase the number of craftsmen and garbage absorption on the crafters. Through careful socialization and training, citizens' awareness of waste management becomes advanced by making handicrafts of economic value from waste materials.

Recycling Systems

Industrial ecology (IE) is a biological concept applied to industrial structures. The basic concepts of IE include regional, intra-firm and product-based waste recycling systems as well as the principle of upward and downward cascading. In best current examples of regional systems, several parties are in an industrial waste re-use symbiosis. Paper industry has learned to arrange the recovery and re-use of its products on distant markets, even up to a level where indications of exceeding optimal recovery and re-use rates already exist through deteriorated fibre and product quality. Such occurrences will take place in certain legislative-economic situations. Paper industry has many cascade levels, each with their internal recovery and recycling, as well as many intra-firm, regional, and life cycle ecology structures. As an example of prospects for individual cascading routes, sludges may continue to be incinerated, but the route to landfills will be closed. The main obstacles of legislative drive toward better IE systems are in many cases existing laws and political considerations rather than economic or technical aspects. The study and practice of engineering human technology systems and related elements of natural systems should develop in such a way that they provide quality of life by actively managing the dynamics of relevant systems to reduce the risk and scale of undesirable behavior and outcomes. For the paper industry, earth systems engineering offers several development routes. One of them is the further recognition of and research on the fact that the products of the industry are returned back to the carbon cycle of the natural environment. Opportunities for modifying current earth systems may also be available for the industry, e.g. genetically modified plants for raw materials or organisms for making good quality pulp out of current raw materials. It is to be recognized that earth systems engineering may become a very controversial area, and that very diverse political pressures may determine its future usefulness to the paper industry.

AbstractThe increase in the world population leads to rising demand and consumption of plastic raw materials; only a small percentage of plastics is recovered and recycled, increasing the quantity of waste released into the environment and losing its economic value. The plastics represent a great opportunity in the circular perspective of their reuse and recycling. Research is moving, on the one hand, to implement sustainable systems for plastic waste management and on the other to find new non-fossil-based plastics such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). In this review, we focus our attention on Tenebrio molitor (TM) as a valuable solution for plastic biodegradation and biological recovery of new biopolymers (e.g. PHA) from plastic-producing microorganisms, exploiting its highly diversified gut microbiota. TM’s use for plastic pollution management is controversial. However, TM microbiota is recognised as a source of plastic-degrading microorganisms. TM-based plastic degradation is improved by co-feeding with food loss and waste as a dietary energy source, thus valorising these low-value substrates in a circular economy perspective. TM as a bioreactor is a valid alternative to traditional PHA recovery systems with the advantage of obtaining, in addition to highly pure PHA, protein biomass and rearing waste from which to produce fertilisers, chitin/chitosan, biochar and biodiesel. Finally, we describe the critical aspects of these TM-based approaches, mainly related to TM mass production, eventual food safety problems, possible release of microplastics and lack of dedicated legislation.

Motivated by the negative impact of fossil fuel consumption on the environment, the need arises to produce materials and energy from renewable sources. Cellulose, the main biopolymer on Earth, plays a key role in this context, serving as a platform for the development of biofuels, chemicals and novel materials. Among the latter, micro- and nanocellulose have been receiving increasing attention in the last few years. Their many attractive properties, i.e., thermal stability, high mechanical resistance, barrier properties, lightweight, optical transparency and ease of chemical modification, allow their use in a wide range of applications, such as paper or polymer reinforcement, packaging, construction, membranes, bioplastics, bioengineering, optics and electronics. In view of the increasing demand for traditional wood pulp (e.g., obtained from eucalypt, birch, pine, spruce) for micro/nanocellulose production, dedicated crops and agricultural residues can be interesting as raw materials for this purpose. This work aims at achieving microfibrillated cellulose production from fast-growing poplar and olive tree pruning using physical pretreatment (PFI refining) before the microfibrillation stage. Both raw materials yielded microfibrillated cellulose with similar properties to that obtained from a commercial industrial eucalypt pulp, producing films with high mechanical properties and low wettability. According to these properties, different applications for cellulose microfibers suspensions and films are discussed.

CO2 efflux from forest soils is an important process in the global carbon cycle; however, effects of stand age and successional status remain uncertain. We compared soil respiration and its relationship to soil carbon content, forest floor mass, root biomass, soil temperature, and soil moisture content among three temperate forest ecosystems in Changbai Mountains, northeastern China, from 2003 to 2005. Forest types included an old-growth, mixed coniferous and broad-leaved primary forest (MN), a middle-aged, broad-leaved secondary forest (BL), and a young coniferous plantation forest (CP). Average annual soil CO2 efflux at BL (1477.9 ± 61.8 g C·m–2·year–1) was significantly higher than at CP (830.7 ± 48.7 g C·m–2·year–1) and MN (935.4 ± 53.3 g C·m–2·year–1). Differences in soil temperature among those sites were not statistically significant but contributed to the differences in annual CO2 efflux. In addition, the temperature response of soil CO2 efflux was higher at MN (Q10 = 2.78) than that at BL (Q10 = 2.17) and CP (Q10 = 2.02). Our results suggest that successional stage affects soil respiration by the differences in substrate quantity and quality, environmental conditions, and root respiration.
