Topanol A is a phenolic antioxidant additive, which is used in storage tanks for jet fuels produced in the petroleum refineries throughout the country. Topanol A mostly consists of 2,6-di-t-butylphenol. The conventional methods for the preparation of this compound involve ortho-alkylation of phenol using 2-methylpropene (isobutylene) as the alkylating agent. The compound has been prepared by or...

The petroleum product has seen a drastic demand in the recent past. Biofuels are the only solution to overcome this power crisis. In the view of sustainable energy development, biodiesel and its additives have become the best options for fossil fuel-based engines. In this work, a biodiesel mix was used to show the possible utilization of different biofuels. An experimental investigation was car...

A novel approach was employed to develop alternative fuels by blending pyro-oil from used plastic with graphene, which acted as a combustion additive. The biofuels were produced through pyrolysis of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). When evaluating the fuel blends, properties analyzed and compared commercially available diesel fuel, while Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry know char...
