Bioethanol is one of the candidates to replace fossil fuels. Currently, one way to reduce the use of fossil fuels is to utilize a mixture of gasoline with ethanol (gasohol). Bioethanol is an alcohol produced from agricultural ...

Carbon dioxide and methane are the major components in flue gas which generally comes from industrial processes. Carbon dioxide is the main gas that causes global warming. This work investigated the effect of silver-impregnated ...

In this study, a continuous multistage ion foam fractionation column with 5 bubble-cap trays will be employed to study the removal of (i) individual heavy metal including cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) and (ii) ...

The increase of bio-diesel utilization is playing an important role in an oversupply of glycerol. Therefore, there have been many attempts to create a demand for glycerol. One possible way is the conversion of glycerol to ...

Hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized from 2-line ferrihydrite precursor via a simple chemical precipitation method by using sodium hydroxide as a precipitating agent, with trace amounts of Fe (II) ...

Carboxymethyl chitin (CM-chitin)/chitin whisker (CTW) bio nanocomposite films were fabricated by solution casting technique. Glyoxal was used as a crosslinking agent for retaining shape of the films in wet state. The effects ...

One of the promising electrochromic polymers is polyaniline, which possess a high environmental stability and fast response time. Nonetheless, the low solubility in common organic solvents restricts processibility. A ...

Energy management is important portion of controlling total operating costs for refineries throughout the world. For refinery, the crude distillation unit is one of the largest energy consumption units and also represents ...

The effect of silver ion incorporated with a novel organic polybenzoxazine xerogel (PBZ) was investigated as a membrane for flue gas separation. The fully cured interconnected polybenzoxazine xerogel was impregnated with ...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) aggregates on graphene sheets (GS) and graphene nanoribbons (GN) were studied using dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. The effects of GS size and GN width on aggregate morphology ...
