Previous Crop and Cultivar Effects on Methane Emissions from Drill-Seeded, Delayed-Flood Rice Grown on a Clay Soil by Alden D. Smartt, Kristofor R. Brye, Christopher W. Rogers, Richard J. Norman, Edward E. Gbur, Jarrod T. Hardke, Trenton L. Roberts

“…Due to anaerobic conditions that develop in soils under flooded-rice (Oryza sativa L.) production, along with the global extent of rice production, it is estimated that rice cultivation is responsible for 11% of global anthropogenic methane (CH4) emissions. In order to adequately estimate CH4 emissions, it is important to include data representing the range of environmental, climatic, and cultural factors occurring in rice production, particularly from Arkansas, the leading rice-producing state in the US, and from clay soils. …”

Promotion Effect of CaO Modification on Mesoporous Al2O3-Supported Ni Catalysts for CO2 Methanation by Wen Yang, Yanyan Feng, Wei Chu

“…The catalysts Ni/Al2O3 and CaO modified Ni/Al2O3 were prepared by impregnation method and applied for methanation of CO2. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption, temperature-programmed reduction of H2 (H2-TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and temperature-programmed desorption of CO2 and H2 (CO2-TPD and H2-TPD) techniques, respectively. …”

Optimal Injection Parameters for Enhancing Coalbed Methane Recovery: A Simulation Study from the Shizhuang Block, Qinshui Basin, China by Du Liu, Longyong Shu, Yanbin Wang, Zhonggang Huo, Shihu Zhao, Xing Xiong

“…The injection of N2 into coal reservoir has great potential in improving recovery of coalbed methane (CBM). In this study, a numerical model was established based on the GEM component model to evaluate the influences of different N2 injection parameters (production injection well spacing, gas injection timing, gas injection duration, gas injection rate, and the bottom-hole injection pressure) on the production of CBM in the Shizhuang Block of Qinshui Basin, China. …”
