Corn drying evaluation was conducted from two years of field tests on a 1.5-GJ/h concentric-vortex furnace that provided heat to a 4.14-t/h continuous-flow grain dryer. Corncobs, cornstalks, a cob-husk mixture, a soybean straw, wood shavings and tree leaves were used as fuels. The corn was evaluated for harmful deposits by using the USDA grain grade, the Ames test, and a chemical analysis to determine the amount of Benzo (a) pyrene deposited.
