The authors introduced waste plastic pyrolysis oil (WPPO) as an alternative fuel characterized in detail and compared with conventional diesel. High density polyethylene, HDPE, was pyrolyzed in a self-designed stainless steel laboratory reactor to produce useful fuel products. HDPE waste was completely pyrolyzed at 330-490°C for 2-3 hours to obtain solid residue, liquid fuel oil, and flammable ...

solidified samples of fuel oil combustion bottom ash with two sets of ordinary portland cement (opc) and pozzolan added opc were investigated with three sets of chemical leaching tests. toxicity characteristic leaching test (tclp) results classified waste material and its solidification products as hazardous. although ni and cr have over-leached, but their close examination with sequential chem...

This study offers comprehensive details on the use of bio-fuel as a viable and alternative source of energy. The bio-fuel was prepared from vegetable oil, i.e., mustard oil and tested in a diesel engine in both pure form and as a diesel blend. The mustard oil blend proportions were 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% and named as bio-diesel blends B20, B30, B40 and B50. A fuel-testing laboratory determined t...

in the present work, the influences of temperature, solvent concentration and ultrasonic irradiation time were numerically analyzed on viscosity reduction of residue fuel oil (rfo). ultrasonic irradiation was applied at power of 280 w and low frequency of 24 khz. the main feature of this research is prediction and optimization of the kinematic viscosity data. the measured results of eighty-four...

ISSN 2277-5056 | © 2013 Bonfring Abstract--Increasing the fuel demand brings us to find out the various alternative solutions. Out of the various research activities, bio-diesel from various oil seeds is the major activity, which decides the future energy sources. Our previous researchers concluded that Jatropha oil is to be an alternate fuel for Compression ignition (C.I) engines and it has cl...

Biodiesel is emerging as a promising substitute of an alternative fuel and has gained significant attention due to the predicted depletion of conventional fuels availability in near future and environmental pollution concern. Utilization of biodiesel produced from Jatropha oil by transesterification process is one of the most promising options to replace conventional fossil diesel fuel. The phy...

The work on the quality improvement of fuel oil using acid treatment was carried out. The improvement of the fuel oil was done using sulphuric acid to remove contaminants. Sulphuric acid at different concentrations were mixed with the oil and kept at 45°C for four hours in the agitator vessel to allow reaction to take place. Acidic sludge was then drained off from the agitator and the oil was n...

The objective of this work was to study the formation of particles and their morphology and chemical composition in large-scale diesel engines operating with low-grade residual fuel oils. The effect of a Mg-based fuel oil additive on exhaust gas particles was also investigated. Particle characteristics were determined by means of the methods of aerosol technology, chemical analyses, and electro...
