Click here to read about after-treatment of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) also known as AdBlue. We take a look at what diesel exhaust fluid is and why it’s needed.
Butane is also blended within the mixture of gasoline for automobile fuel. Other uses include the manufacture of organic chemicals, high-octane liquid fuels, propellants for aerosol sprays, refrigerants, and synthetic rubber and ethylene. Effects of Butane on Health Butane is an extremely flammable s...
It is done via biodiesel process to “thin” out the vegetable oil and animal fats because their “thickness” or viscosity is too high. In the biodiesel process, chemicals such as methanol and caustic soda are used. That means combining the oil methanol and caustic soda together in correct ...
Ammonia and its upgraded products, including diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), are also used in industrial processes for emissions reduction as well as in the manufacture of plastics, textiles, dyes, and other chemicals. CF Industries is the largest producer of DEF in North America. DEF is used in...
Currently, the number of fully electric vehicles—cars that only use electric motors—is increasing. In this area, businesses like Tesla Motors are particularly promising because their vehicles allow for decreased emissions of hazardous chemicals. ...
It is used as fuels in automobiles. It can be used at homes for cooking. It is used as a starting material in chemicals and fertilizers. Are Fossil Fuels Renewable? Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy. Most of the energy used by us ...
to high temperatures, they can generate CO2; for example, CO2is a byproduct of the chemical reactions that turn limestone into clinker when producing cement. In the chemical manufacturing industry, the production of synthetic chemicals, plastics and other products can result in CH4, N2O and CO2....
Commercial grade of zeolite LTA 4A and zeolite LTA 5A was supplied from Thaisilicate Chemicals Co. Ltd (Thailand). Nickel (II) nitrate hexahydrate (99.0 %, Alfa Aeser) was employed as nickel precursor. The catalyst was prepared by dry impregnation of nickel nitrate dissolved in de-ionized ...
Fuel efficiency.In comparison with fossil fuels, bioethanol and biodiesel contain smaller concentrations of chemicals like chlorine and sulphur. This means that when mixed with petrol or diesel, they can dilute the level of these contaminants in the fuel source and produce...
