- Abstract:
- ... Utilization of heterogeneous catalyst in the biodiesel production process can minimize the cost of separation process and subsequently reduce the biodiesel price. This study aims at developing a low-priced heterogeneous catalyst CaO/SiO₂ prepared from cheap and abundant wastes of eggshell and peat clay for the production of biodiesel from wasted cooking oil. CaO catalyst was capable to produce bio ...

- Abstract:
- ... Abundant wastes of barley straws were utilized as precursor to prepare biochar adsorbent through thermal pyrolysis. Pore characteristics, morphology, and attraction extent of the prepared adsorbent toward salicylic acid were identified. The obtained biochar had a surface area of 435.52 m²/g, a pore volume of 0.241 cm³/g, and an average pore width of 22.16 Å. The effects of batch adsorption variabl ...

- Abstract:
- ... Low grade coals with high sulphur contents are not suitable as fuels in thermal power plants due to generation of high ash content and emission of toxic sulphur oxide gases. Here we have demonstrated an alternate use of pyrite rich coal as a source for sustainable generation of hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals in aqueous medium via solar light induced photo-Fenton process which were utilize ...

Identifying the anomalies of wind turbine (WT) and maintaining in time will improve the reliability of wind turbine and the efficiency of energy use, however it is difficult toidentify the wind turbine's abnormal operation by the traditional threshold settings because the anomalies can be induced by multiple factors. Therefore, this paper presents an anomaly identification model for wind turbine s ...
