Data for publication
Description
The repository contains a dataset derived from the characterization of lignocellulosic residues from agricultural activities in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico, with a focus on their potential valorization for activated carbon production. The information is organized in folders and files in Excel and QGIS-compatible formats, enabling both statistical analysis and spatial representation. The repository structure includes: QGIS Data folder: vector and raster files in QGIS-compatible formats, representing land use distribution, municipal and hydrological boundaries, and thematic maps of vegetation cover and crop areas. Coordinates by Municipality folder: an Excel file containing the geographic coordinates of municipalities where agricultural residues were collected and characterized. Quantitative Analysis folder: Excel files with data on harvested area, production volume, yields, and estimated residue generation by crop. Physicochemical characterization files: tables with experimental results on cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, ash, and nutrient content (nitrates and phosphates) obtained under standardized methodologies. Valorization tables: consolidated information on the conversion potential of residues to activated carbon (kg AC/ton of residue), residue types, and possible applications.
Files
Steps to reproduce
QGIS maps - The vector layer in shapefile format consists of four files that are essential to open the map, these are: * shp: main file that stores the geometry of the entity. * shx: file that stores the index of the geometry of the entity. * dbf: dBASE table that stores the information of attributes of the entities. * prj: file with the coordinate system information of the layer. Note: to open the geospatial layer in vector format use a program compatible with shapefile (SHP) files.
