Within the bioremediation framework, this study was aimed at finding out optimal amount of sludge waste consumption and microalgal growth conditions Neochloris oleoabundans in order to reach a significant fat production chemical transformation lipids into biodiesel. The effects lipid extraction methods – using ionic liquids chloroform on total fat, individual fatty acid concentrations, biodiese...

In recent decades, many kinds of research have been conducted on alternative fuels for compression ignition (CI) engines. Low/zero-carbon fuels, such as bioalcohols and hydrogen, are the most promising extensively studied because their availability, ease manufacturing, environmental benefits. Using these in CI engines is environmentally economically beneficial. The common alcohols methanol, eth...

Gas-to-liquid (GTL) fuel is regarded as a promising alternative diesel fuel. It can be used either directly as a diesel fuel or in blends with petroleum-derived diesel or biodiesel. This study investigated the fuel properties, engine performance and exhaust emissions of B5 diesel, GTL fuel and their blends. The main fuel properties of the blended fuels showed a linear variation with the fractio...

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion enables higher thermal efficiency and lower NOx emission to be achieved in internal combustion engines compared to conventional combustion systems. A new concept HCCI engine system fueled with dimethyl ether (DME) with a high cetane number and methanol-reformed gas (MRG) with high anti-knock properties has been proposed by the author et ...

19 2-Ethyhexyl nitrate (2-EHN) is a major additive of fuel which is used to comply with the 20 cetane number of diesel. Because of its wide use and possible accidental release, 2-EHN is a 21 potential pollutant of the environment. In this study, Mycobacterium austroafricanum IFP 22 2173 was selected among several strains as the best 2-EHN degrader. The 2-EHN 23 biodegradation rate was increased...

Single cell oils (SCO) are a promising source of that could be exploited in different industrial areas. SCO for biodiesel production circumvents the controversy food vs. fuel, does not require large land areas culture, and is independent climate seasonal variations, among other advantages comparison to vegetable oils. In this study, red yeast isolated from mountain water source, identified as R...

A novel biodiesel named rapeseed oil monoester of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether is developed. This fuel has one more ester group than the traditional biodiesel. The fuel was synthesized and structurally identified through FT-IR and P(1P)H NMR analyses. Engine test results show that when a tested diesel engine is fueled with this biodiesel in place of 0# diesel fuel, engine-out smoke emission...

Abstract Soil erosion is a major environmental threat. The purpose of this study was to develop new polymer soil improvers that could mitigate the risk by modifying microstructure and improving ecological self‐repair ability. In particular, investigated composites (ADNB) based on different combination ratios nano‐aqueous adhesive (NAB) superabsorbent resin (SARn). effects types ADNB water chara...
