| Abstract |
This project is focusing on preparing biochar derived from bamboo remaining materials for adsorption of emitted CO2. After purification and concentration of CO2, it can be employed in supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) to extract the components from bamboo leaves. This work attempts to figure out the volatile components which can massively attract Forcipomyia taiwana (biting midge). Via attracting F. taiwana with scents, we can directly capture adults by the modified trap. This strategy could reduce the density of adults, interrupt the mating behavior, and decrease the amount of laying eggs. With this concept, we will carry out an environmental-friendly pest control. |
