Abstract

Dye hurts the threat of human health problems and environmental pollution. Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) based membrane is a good material to be used as an dye separation membrane for having the high hydrophilicity of the membrane. It has been successfully isolated from kapok (ceiba pentandra) with characteristic X-ray diffraction patterns and FTIR absorption peaks, which corresponded to the typical peaks of cellulose. The ultrafiltration membrane was made up of a cellulose acetate matrix created using the phase inversion method. Characterization results indicated that the inclusion of MCC derived from kapok led to a reduction in the contact angle from 65 to 52o, and an increase in membrane porosity from 82 to 85%. In the separation of dye, the composite membrane incorporating MCC filler demonstrated superior performance compared to the membrane lacking MCC, manifesting in an elevated water flux from 43 to 84 L/m².h and methylene blue (MB) rejection from 64 to 99%. The use of MCC as a filler in cellulose acetate membranes can enhance the characteristics and performance of the membrane in MB separation.

Abstract

Superhydrophobic silica coatings have gained enormous attention due to their significant contribution to self-cleaning, anti-fouling, anti-icing, anti-corrosion, and moisture-resistance. This mini-review provides an overview of silica surface modification, including functionalization, roughness control, and deposition methods. Functionalization aims to reach hydrophobic properties by the application of low surface energy compounds. Surface roughness control at the micro- and nano-scale across different scales also results in various surface topographies. The type of deposition technique also influences the coating surface properties, including roughness texture, adhesion, and coating thickness. This paper also explains the challenges and gaps of research rarely reported by previous studies, such as the stability of coating in harsh environments, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. Furthermore, this article also addresses promising future innovations in developing long-lasting coatings, multifunctional properties, and economic points of view.

Abstract

The development of catalysts derived from natural minerals was investigated in this study for biodiesel production due to their high catalytic activity, abundant availability, low production cost, and environmentally friendly. Biodiesel was produced from Calophyllum Inophyllum (CI) oil using bifunctional catalyst synthesized from natural dolomite and sodalite. In addition, an experimental study was conducted to evaluate the performance and emission characteristics of the produced biodiesel in a diesel engine. The natural dolomite catalyst contains a high composition of CaO-MgO, while sodalite, consisting of Si and Al precursors, was synthesized from natural kaolin. The bifunctional catalysts were synthesized via wet impregnation method with varying loadings of natural dolomite (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 wt%). FTIR, XRD, SEM-EDX, and N2 adsorption-desorption analyses were employed to characterize the physicochemical properties of the catalysts. The optimum biodiesel yield of 94.14 % was obtained at dolomite loading of 25 wt%. Engine performance tests revealed that the B10 fuel blend produced maximum power and torque of 1.252 kW and 69.151 N.m, respectively, at 1250 rpm. While the optimum specific fuel consumption was obtained at 0.0004 Kg.HP/h at 1250 rpm for all fuel blends.The lowest CO emission was recorded for the B40 fuel blend at 414 ppm, while the lowest NO and NOx emissions were observed for the D100 fuel at 88 and 86 ppm, respectively.

Abstract

This study reports the synthesis of biodiesel from locally sourced Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) catalyst. The main objective of this research is to assess the feasibility of utilizing WCO-based biodiesel as a sustainable alternative fuel by analyzing its physicochemical properties and application in a Yanmar® TF 70 LY-DI diesel engine. The production process involved degumming, acid-catalyzed esterification, and base-catalyzed transesterification to address the high free fatty acid content of WCO. The resulting biodiesel met ASTM D6751 standards, with a kinematic viscosity of 5.06 cSt, a flash point of 164°C, a density of 885 kg/m3, a FAME yield of 98.17%, and an acid number of 0.12 mg-KOH/g. Engine tests were performed using blends from B10 to B40 and benchmarked against pure diesel. Results showed that B10 and B20 blends maintained comparable engine performance, while higher blends (B30–B40) exhibited reductions in power and torque and increased Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC). CO emissions decreased significantly with increasing biodiesel content, whereas NO and NOx emissions rose due to higher combustion temperatures. These findings demonstrate the technical feasibility and environmental benefits of WCO-derived biodiesel, particularly at lower blend ratios (≤ B20), as a locally available and sustainable fuel. The study is limited to laboratory-scale testing on a single-cylinder engine without long-term durability assessments, which should be addressed in future studies.

Abstract

The growing demand for alternative fuels has highlighted biodiesel as sustainable substitute for fossil diesel. In this study, biodiesel was produced from sunflower seed oil using heterogeneous catalyst synthesized from natural kaolin into sodalite via hydrothermal process. The synthesized catalyst was characterized using XRD, FTIR and SEM-EDS, confirming the transformation of kaolinite to sodalite. The transesterification reaction was conducted under varying methanol-to-oil molar ratios (1:12, 1:18, and 1:24) and temperatures (60, 65, and 70°C). A Taguchi orthogonal array (L9) was employed to statistically evaluate the effects of these parameters on methyl ester yield. Experimental results showed that both methanol ratio and reaction temperature significantly influenced biodiesel yield, with the highest yield of 90.44% obtained at 70°C and 1:18 molar ratio. Signal-to-noise ratio and ANOVA analysis indicated that the methanol-to-oil ratio was the most dominant factor (46.05%) compared to temperature (40.55%). The resulting biodiesel exhibited a flash point of 158°C, acid value of 0.06 mg-KOH/g, and iodine value of 84.06 g-I₂/100g, satisfying most ASTM D6751 and SNI 7182:2015 standards, though viscosity and density exceeded standard limits. Emission testing showed 16% reduction in CO emissions with increasing biodiesel blends, while NO and NOx emissions slightly increased.
