LPG-Fueled Vehicles: An Overview of Technology and Market Trend
(Automotive Experiences, 2020)
This article presents an overview of the technology status and market trends of LPG-fueled
vehicles through the literature approach to re-evaluate their future. In the review, it is
discovered that LPG vehicles are ...
Storage and thermal stability of biodiesel produced from manketti nut oil of Southern Africa origin with the infuence of metal contaminants and antioxidants
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2020-04-20)
Biodiesel has widely been produced from common edible oils; however, food versus fuel conficts has motivated researchers to search for other less common feedstock for production of biodiesel. Thus, this study investigates ...
Optimization of microwave-assisted alkali pretreatment followed by acid hydrolysis of sugarcane straw for production of acetone-butanol-ethanol
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2020-05-07)
The production of acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) calls for effective pretreatment and hydrolysis techniques to maximize reducing sugar yields. In this study, optimized microwave-assisted alkali (MAA) pretreatment followed ...
Investigation of Rheological Behavior of Untreated and Microwave-Assisted Alkaline Pretreated Sugarcane Straw for Biofuel Production
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2020-07-05)
Purpose
Biomass slurries, such as those subjected to microwave-assisted alkaline (MAA) pretreatment, will become common substrates for the production of biofuels in the future. While the rheology of acid and ionic liquid ...
Demand-SideManagement of Solar Microgrid Operation: Effect of Time-of-Use Pricing and Incentives
(Hindawi, 2020-06-05)
Over 17% of the world’s population lack access to electricity, the majority being in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa and South
Asia. Microgrid technologies are a promising solution towards rural and remote area ...
Cryptogamic Packed Biofilter as Potential Adsorbent for CO2, NH3, and H2S Impurities from Biogas
(Hindawi, 2020-07-07)
The presence of elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and trace impurities in biogas affect its caloric value as well as causes corrosion and is extremely toxic. There are various methods ...
Trends towards Effective Analysis of Fluorinated Compounds Using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
(Hindawi, 2021-02-03)
Increased demand for monitoring and identification of novel and unknown fluorinated compounds (FCs) has demonstrated the need of sensitive fluorine-specific detectors for unknown FCs in both biological and environmental ...
Thermal Performance Analysis of Solar Dryer Integrated with Heat Energy Storage System and a Low-Cost Parabolic Solar Dish Concentrator for Food Preservation
(Hindawi, 2020-07-30)
Solar energy has become a viable alternative energy because it is a clean type of energy that converts solar radiation into heat energy for various applications such as heating water, power generation, cooking, and food ...
Sub- and Supercritical Water Gasification of Rice Husk: Parametric Optimization Using the I-Optimality Criterion.
(ACS Publications, 2021-05-18)
In this study, rice husk biomass was gasified under sub- and supercritical water conditions in an autoclave reactor. The effect of temperature (350-500 °C), residence time (30-120 min), and feed concentration (3-10 wt %) ...
Experimental Study of a Lab Scale Hybrid Fixed Bed Gasifier
(Science Publishing Group, 2020-02-04)
Thermo-chemical conversion technologies (incineration, gasification and pyrolysis) have emerged as potential technologies for municipal solid waste management (MSWM). This is happening due to the increase of the need for ...
