Preparation of Biodiesel from Karanja Oil using Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalyst
Abstract: In India, diesel consumption is increasing at an alarming rate which is increasing the import bill and the problems related to environment pollution. Biodiesel (BD) from non-edible oil like karanja is attractive feed stock for diesel engine. Due to high acid value of karanja oil (KO), a two-step process is necessary for BD production using homogeneous catalyst. In present study, BD was produced from KO by transesterification process using homogeneous …

Experimental Study of Burn Rate and Mechanism of Burning of Karanja Oil Biodiesel and Diesel by Using a Porous Sphere
Abstract: Biodiesel is a renewable energy resource, which has the potential to reduce greenhouse emissions and to facilitate energy sustainability. It can provide an alternative to petroleum-based diesel. The combustion characteristics of diesel and biodiesel such as burning rate and flame shape are determined by using the porous-sphere experimental technique. Fuel has been transpired to the surface of a porous sphere. Burning of the fuel takes place on the surface of …

Production of Biodiesel from Karanja Oil
Abstract: Biodiesel is a mono-alkyl ester of fatty acid which is obtained from various edible and non-edible oil of different feed stock through transesterification and is a potential alternative fuel to petroleum diesel. India being a developing country is still short of edible oil to meet the demand of its burgeoning population. Therefore, in its National Policy on Biofuel, declare to use 20% biodiesel blend with petroleum diesel by 2017 and …

A Study on Karanja, Jatropa and Neem oil Biodiesel Blends used in Diesel Engine
Abstract: AbstractFossil fuels applications are linked with current widely held environmental issues. The use of renewable biofuel as a source of energy is a substitute for fuel resources which are declining and creating environmental issues. Excessive use and depletion of fossil fuel creates a research interest in the field of alternative fuel technologies. In this study Karanjan oil, Neem oil and Jatropa oil are used for making the blend. Different blends …

Productions and Characterization of Biodiesel by Base Catalyzed Transesterification Reaction from Dairy Waste Scum of DEI Dairy, Agra
Abstract: With the increase in prices and rapid depletion of petroleum-based fuels, the investigation is being done to look over an alternative fuel source. Presently, the biodiesel is mainly produced from vegetable sources such as jatropa oil, karanja oil, rapeseed, soybean, and others that could overlap with nutritional requirement of the society if produced at large scale. Also, the production cost of biodiesel from vegetable and animal sources is very high …

A Comparative Analytical Study on Gandhaka Ointment Prepared by Two Different Oleaginous Bases – As a Thesis Article
Abstract: Gandhaka (purified sulphur) is broadly used in Ayurvedic dermatological preparations, particularly in Malahara Kalpana (ointment formulations), due to its well-known antimicrobial and skin-healing properties. Although classical Ayurvedic texts, such as Rasa Shastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana, do not directly mention Gandhaka ointment, Rasatarangini by Acharya Sadanand Sharma describes four discrete methods for preparing Gandhaka Taila (sulphur-infused oil). In this study, the third method was selected to prepare Gandhaka Taila using two …
