Biodiesel represents a suitable alternative to the petroleum-derived diesel fuel as it is renewable and can be used directly in compression-ignition engines. Present work was aimed at extraction of cantaloupe seed oil its application production biodiesel through base- catalyzed transesterification using four different basic catalysts viz. NaOH, NaOCH3, KOH KOCH3. The percent yield afford...

Hydrogen (H2) production is a key challenge for green carbon-free sustainable energy. Among the H2 evolution methods from H-rich materials, ammonia borane (AB) solvolysis stands as privileged source under ambient and sub-ambient conditions given its stability, non-toxicity, solubility in protic solvents, provided suitable optimized nanocatalysts are used. In this paper dedicated to Prof. Avelin...
