Mushroom residues

This post was last edited by xjf11 on 2011-7-14 at 17:17. Mushroom residues? You mean mushroom waste, right! Actually, it also depends on what type of mushroom is being cultivated using that kind of substrate. For example: \"There are significant differences among different types of mushroom residues; the bulk density of wood chips used for growing shiitake mushrooms is 0.16 g/cm3, while that of cottonseed hulls used for growing oyster mushrooms is 0.15 g/cm3, with an EC value of 2.6 mS/cm and a pH of 6.4 (Lian Zhaohuang, 1994). In contrast, the bulk density of corn cobs and rice bran used for growing enoki mushrooms is 0.20 g/cm3, with a pH of 6.2.\" ” The poster might be aiming to produce solid fuel: as far as I understand, what remains after processing mushrooms is mainly lignin; of course, there’s also cellulose, hemicellulose, and ash, but I’m not aware of the exact proportions

Reply to 2# xjf11: I would like to know the elemental analysis tables for various types of slag, especially the carbon content. I wonder if you have it?
