Various heterogeneous catalysts are often used to produce biodiesel from non-edible crude oils. In this study a highly active calcium oxide (CaO) nanocatalyst with diameter and surface area of 66 ± 3 nm 90.61 m2/g, respectively, was synthesized Polymedosa erosa (P. erosa) seashells through calcination–hydration–dehydration technique. The nano-CaO catalysis impact investigated in two-step transesterification triglycerides Jatropha oil as along other reaction parameters such catalyst ratio,...

This paper focuses on the investigation of fresh, mechanical and durability properties concrete with influence fly ash polypropylene fiber. In this study, cement was partially replaced by 15% 30% content in weight; whereas; fiber incorporated mixes at 0.06%, 0.12% 0.18% volume. Twelve mix proportions were developed slump, density, ball penetration compacting factor tests conducted for examining fresh properties. Besides, characteristics, including uniaxial compressive splitting tensile...

In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)-based green biocomposites were developed using a solution casting technique. Essentially, the bonding between PLA MCC is quite feeble; therefore, current study conducted to strengthen by incorporating coupling agent, thereby enhancing overall quality of biocomposites. Thus, present aimed examine influence combined agents─maleic anhydride (MAH) maleic acid (MA) (MAH–MA)─on properties polylactic (PLA)/microcrystalline...

This paper presents the result of investigations carried out in studying emission and performance diesel engine using castor biodiesel its blend with from 0% to 40% by volume. The acid-based catalyzed transesterification system was used produce highest yield 82.5% obtained under optimized condition. FTIR spectrum indicates presence C=O C–O functional groups, which is due ester compound biodiesel. smoke test revealed that B40 (biodiesel 60% diesel) had least black compared conventional...

Poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/chitosan (CS) natural polymer/epoxidised rubber (ENR) composites were successfully prepared through a solution casting method. The morphological characteristics of fabricated investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy. microstructure PLA/ENR was significantly altered with the addition CS. SEM analysis fractured surfaces revealed smooth homogeneous texture good dispersion However for 15 wt% CS composites, phase segregation poor adhesion...

Natural fibers are environment-friendly, biodegradable, nonabrasive, and less costly exhibit high initial modulus moisture absorption. However, they have nonuniformity in their mechanical, physical, chemical, thermal properties at different portions. For this reason, long jute fiber was cut into three portions subsequently characterized using single tensile test, differential scanning calorimetric, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy according to top, middle,...
