Synthesis of Biodiesel from Biowaste/Vegetable Oil by Using Heterogeneous Nano-Catalyst
Abstract: This paper presents preparation of heterogeneous nanocatalyst (NaOH/ZnO-Li2CO3) for biodiesel synthesis from biowaste/vegetable oil by transesterification. Transesterification is an important reaction that produces fatty acid methyl esters which are excellent substitutes for diesel fuel. Biodiesel production by using nanocatalyst is one of important approaches in the biofuel research. The optimization of transesterification reaction is affected by the catalyst type, reaction temperature, reaction time, methanol to biowaste/oil ratio. The analysis of …

Catalysed Biofuels Using Vegetable Oils and Animal Fats
Abstract: It is a first to use biochemical modification of fats to create fuel for transport. The chemical transformation is required to produce products that are more useful and have qualities similar to those of crude oil-derived fuels. Biodiesel (a combination of methyl esters produced by transesterification) and green diesel are the two forms of fuels discussed (paraffins produced by hydrogenation of oils). Three bio-lubricant synthesis strategies are also discussed. Biofuels …

Surface Modified Abaca Fibers: Physico-Mechanical, Morphological and Degradation Properties Evaluation
Abstract: Lignocellulosic fibers are used as cost-cutting fillers in plastics factories. Amid several factors, the ultimate performance of composite ingredients depends on the bond between the matrix resin and the filler, and hence on the quality of the interface. To acquire optimal performance of the end product, adequate interaction between the matrix and the lignocellulosic ingredient is preferred. This is often acquired through surface modification of the matrix or filler. Abaca …

Predictability of Equation of State (EoS)-based Gas Hydrate Models for Single and Binary Gas Mixtures
Abstract: The better models are necessary to design and understand the phase behavior of produced trapped natural gas from natural gas hydrates from subsea environments. Most of the models available in an open literature are primarily applicable at relatively low pressure condition thus making their use very limited for gas hydrate reservoir modeling. In order to produce methane from these gas hydrates, it is important to understand the phase behavior through …
