Gasoline is a mixture of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and used as a motor fuel. Current trend to add methanol to gasoline (10:90, v/v) warrants toxicological evaluation of gasoline:methanol blend. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of gasoline:methanol blend vapours exposure which caused a significant increase in acid phosphatase activities in broncho-alveolar lavage f...

The methanol to hydrocarbon process, discovered about 40 years ago, uses zeolites to catalyze the shape selective conversion of methanol to a mixture of hydrocarbons. It has recently gained very much interest, as it allows the conversion of fossil and renewable carbon sources, via synthesis gas and methanol, to a mixture of hydrocarbons. The composition of this hydrocarbon mixture may range fro...

The aim of this study was to obtain new catalysts for the processing carbon-containing polymer waste based on polyethylene and polypropylene, represented mostly by lids from beverages bottled in plastic containers, which accumulate huge quantities landfills, method thermocatalytic hydrogenation into liquid fuels other products. process carried out presence fuel oil as a binder, source hydrogen ...

We estimate the profitability of producing biochar from crop residue (corn stover) for two scenarios. The first employs slow pyrolysis to generate biochar and pyrolysis gas and has the advantage of high yields of char (as much as 40 wt-%) but the disadvantage of producing a relatively low-value energy product (pyrolysis gas of modest heating value). The second scenario employs fast pyrolysis to...

In this work, a novel data mining model based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) for the identification of gasoline types has been investigated and developed. Detection and correct identification of gasoline types during Arson and Fuel Spill Investigation are very important in forensic science. As the number of arson and spillage becomes a common place, it becomes more important to have an accura...

during recent years oil products has decreased because of growing population and increasing demand to oil products and decreasing of crude oil extraction at compare to export. however, to achieve suitable levels of production, the use of improved technologies should be considered. another way to prevent the evaporation and leakage from oil storage tanks and their products are using of storage t...
