Synthesis of Isoamyl Acetate (Banana oil) Using Fly Ash Supported Nano Crystalline Solid Acid Catalyst
Abstract: A novel fly ash supported solid acid catalyst (HClO4/FA) has been synthesized by using F-type fly ash and HClO4 as precursor. The variation of surface and physicochemical properties of the fly ash by activation methods resulted in improved acidity and therefore, catalytic activity for acid catalyzed esterification reactions. The HClO4/FA catalyst was characterized by XRF, XRD, FT-IR, SEM and BET surface area. The catalytic performance of HClO4/FA catalyst was evaluated …

A Comparative Study of Neem Oil and Mahogany Oil as Corrosion Inhibitors for Mild Steel Exposed to Hydrochloric Acid
Abstract: Corrosion is essentially an oxidation process, wherein the oxidizing agent itself undergoes reduction due to the influence of corrosion agents like salt, air, or moisture. Metals and their alloys naturally tend to react spontaneously with their surroundings, leading to a detrimental impact on their mechanical and physical properties. This project aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two different oils, namely neem oil and mahogany oil, as agents to prevent acid …

Influence of Catalyst Type and Reaction Conditions on Biodiesel Conversion of Pine and Soapnut Oils
Abstract: Biodiesel produced from non-edible oils is becoming an important replacement for petroleum diesel because it is renewable, environmentally friendly, and suitable for use in existing diesel engines. It helps reduce air pollution, lowers dependence on fossil fuels, and supports sustainable energy development. Pine oil and soapnut oil are two promising non-edible feedstocks because they are easy to obtain, inexpensive, and contain chemical compounds that can be effectively converted into biodiesel. …

Inhibitors of steel corrosion sector
Abstract: Inhibitor application in medium of exposure is to mitigate corrosion of mild steel. In industrial and ambient weather corrosions is either from acidic medium or soil compositions. Most of inhibitors appear to be green in origin i.e. environmentally friendly. These explorations account to prevent usage of toxic and high cost synthetic inhibitors. Comparative behaviors about inhibition efficiency restrain a long list of organic natural inhibitors to that of synthetic inorganic …
