BACKGROUND Fossil fuels' pollution and their non-renewability have motivated the search for alternative fuels. Some common example of seed oils are sunflower oil, date seed oil, soy bean oil. For instance, soy methyl and soy-based biodiesel are the main biodiesel. Biodiesel is a clean diesel fuel that can be produced through transesterification reaction. Recycled cooking oil, on the other hand,...

The use of nanoparticles in fuels provides new opportunities for modification fuel properties, which may affect the operational parameters engines, particular efficiency and consumption. paper presents comparison compression ignition engine performance fuelled with neat diesel nano-diesel. Alumina (Al2O3) was used as nanoparticles. Surface-active substances, including Span 80 surfactant, well w...

Today, sulfur removal from fuels has improved by new adsorbents such as zeolites that needs extensive studies. This study investigates the feasibility of sulfur compounds adsorption on improved nano zeolite existing in organic fuels and desorption of them from nano-adsorbent.Some properties of improved nano zeolite were analyzed to receive better sulfur compounds adsorption.<e...

Now a days oil supply is decreasing therefore energy sources are becoming limited throughout the world. The technology of using Bio fuel is an alternate solution of energy sources, but if we think that all the world’s vehicles will be powered by bio fuels then the amount of land used for farming must be doubled. Abundant power is produced by Nuclear energy, but many fears from the emission of c...

Abstract Cold recycling of asphalt is an effective solution to reduce the environmental impacts pavement construction and operation. This approach reduces use scarce resources fossil fuels, prevents spread greenhouse pollutants in air. Despite its benefits, recycled does have drawbacks, some which include nibbling, stripping, less resistance fatigue. The additives can improve mechanical propert...

Lignocellulosic biomass is a complex network of polymers making up the cell walls of plants. It represents a feedstock of sustainable resources to be converted into fuels, chemicals, and materials. Because of its complex architecture, lignocellulose is a recalcitrant material that requires some pretreatments and several types of catalysts to be transformed efficiently. Gaining more knowledge in...

Graphene is a monolayer carbon atoms discovered in the recent past which has inspired researchers in a wide range of applications. It has a surface area as high as 2630 m2/g and thermal conductivity value of 3000 W/mK-1 at room temperature. It is chemically the most reactive form of carbon with one carbon atom exposed to reaction from each side. Stable dispersion of graphene was achieved using ...
