Biodiesel has a higher affinity toward moisture content than petroleum diesel, and the water retaining capacity of biodiesel is diesel. The in fuels can be classified free, emulsionated, soluble water. High diesel cause problems such as accumulation microbial growth fuel tanks transportation equipment. Currently, there lack information on absorbance biodiesel/diesel blends. Experiments were conducted to determine biodiesel–diesel blends evaluating temperature blend ratio parameters. Soluble...
Abstract Microalgal oil has been increasingly studied as a feedstock for biodiesel production through transesterification reactions using heterogeneous catalysts. This route offers several benefits, including catalyst reuse, ease of separation, and improved safety, while addressing environmental technical issues associated with homogeneous acids bases. Most studies use methanol the transesterification, few have investigated microalgal ethanol. Beyond benefits microalgae compared to...
Decarbonization of the aviation sector relies on deployment sustainable fuels (SAF) at commercial scale. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) has been recognized as a promising technology to help supply increasing projected SAF demand. High availability agro-industrial residues, combined with well-established biorefinery system, makes sugarcane industry in Brazil good option for HTL deployment. Moreover, challenges regarding economic feasibility from could be partially addressed by RenovaBio...
Engineering education is being called upon to move a student-centered teaching. New challenges demand curriculum that considers set of competencies enable engineers learn autonomously and develop solid technical relevant soft skills. We present top-down methodology for developing competency-based curricula, which was employed conceive new chemical engineering at the University Campinas. Our based on four main steps: i) definition desired profile students with bachelor's degree in Chemical...
Water is present in liquid fuels three different forms: dissolved, free, or emulsified, and its presence can considerably impair fuel quality by encouraging microorganism growth. This growth contributes to the generation of sludge, an increase turbidity, corrosion tanks mechanical components motor vehicles. In this context, research work proposes synthesis a nanocomposite hydrogel made poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) free radical polymerization for...
