However, coal will be consumed much faster when it has to take over the large oil and gas share. Together with a doubling of the energy consumption, the realistic, dynamic lifetime shrinks to a little more than 100 years. In this scenario, the present CO2 content of 386 v/v in the ...
Thus, it is necessary to eliminate ion interference in an oil-water complex phase. For this purpose, Xiong et al. (2018) designed a cellulose-based adsorptive agent (CH-TBM) composed of layered titanate nanofibers, δ-Bi2O3 and cellulose. In this system, the layered titanate nanofibers ...
into biofuel via hydrothermal liquefaction (from 200 to 500 °C for 1 h). The authors also focused on the analysis of the oil and gas phases. As result, a moderate temperature of 350 °C led to the highest biocrude yield of 43 wt %, the major biocrude constituents include phenol and...
The physically activated coconut shell sorbent was pretreated using microwave irradiation heating and applied for colour removal from palm oil mill effluent (POME). SEM analysis of the resulting sorbents revealed that more cracks and porous structures were created after the pretreatment. The ...
The solvent extraction technique is one of the cheapest and most efficient processes to obtain oil from seeds. However, the nature of the seed plays a major role in the amount of produced oil. The extraction solvent is heated under the bottom flask, which vaporizes into the sample thimble, ...
However, palm oil as a diesel substitute is less suitable than other vegetable oils: it has a high density, high flammability and lower energy density (Fitzherbert et al. 2008). It is one of the cheapest vegetable oils mainly due to its high productivity. Nevertheless, the increase in ...
