    Advancements in Engine Oil Durability, Performance, and Diagnostics

    By Neha Sahu, Rizwan Arif

    Abstract: The depletion of fossil fuels and environmental concerns have driven the search for alternative fuels and enhanced lubricants. This article explores advancements in machine oil durability, focusing on vegetable oil modifications, synthetic lubricants, and diagnostic methods for marine engine oils. A study comparing Karanja oil blends with mineral diesel in direct injection compression ignition engines revealed comparable wear characteristics and reduced metallic debris for Karanja oil-fueled engines. Investigations on synthetic …

    Challenges and Opportunities in the Catalytic Conversion of CO₂ to Value-Added Chemicals

    By Rizwan Arif, Neha Sahu

    Abstract: The catalytic conversion of CO2 into value-added chemicals presents a promising strategy for tackling the dual challenges of greenhouse gas emissions and the sustainable production of chemicals. This process transforms CO2, a major contributor to climate change, into useful products such as methanol, formic acid, and hydrocarbons. Such an approach not only helps mitigate CO2 levels in the atmosphere but also generates economically valuable products, thereby supporting both environmental and …

    Catalyst: Free Synthesis of Bioactive Molecules via Green Chemical Principles

    By Rizwan Arif, Neha Sahu

    Abstract: This study explores the catalyst-free synthesis of bioactive molecules, emphasizing the application of green chemical principles. Traditional synthetic methods often rely on hazardous reagents, solvents, and metal catalysts, which can pose significant environmental and health risks. In contrast, the catalyst-free approach leverages benign reaction conditions, such as solvent-free systems, ambient temperature, and pressure, to achieve efficient and selective transformations. We present a comprehensive investigation into various bioactive molecule syntheses, including …
