Abstract

Given the challenges posed by fossil-based jet fuel, research into bio-jet fuel production has intensified to achieve carbon neutrality. The present work reports a significant breakthrough with the successful conversion of used coconut cooking oil into bio-jet fuel utilizing a cobalt-impregnated mordenite catalyst. Cobalt was introduced to mordenite via the spray impregnation method at a concentration of 2% using a CoCl?·6H?O solution. The resultant catalyst was characterized using FTIR, XRD, NH?-TPD, SAA, FESEM-EDX Mapping, TEM, XPS, and TG/DTA instruments. Hydrotreatment was conducted in a semi-batch reactor at atmospheric pressure, employing H? gas at a flow rate of 20 mL/min and a catalyst-to-feed ratio of 1:200 (w/w) for a duration of 2 h. The addition of cobalt significantly enhanced the efficiency of the hydrotreatment by improving the catalytic performance of mordenite as a support material. The liquid product conversion and total bio-jet fuel yield obtained from the hydrotreatment of used coconut cooking oil using the Co/mordenite catalyst were 60.25% and 51.11%, respectively. The highest selectivity for bio-jet fuel was observed in fraction II (450–550 °C) at 88.90%. This catalyst exhibited sustained performance over three consecutive runs, indicating its potential application in the future biofuel industry. Altogether, this research reveals the possibility of employing used coconut cooking oil as a sustainable and promising feedstock to be converted into bio-jet fuel by hydrodeoxygenation and/or hydrocracking reactions.

Abstract

Spodoptera litura Fabricius, an insect pest, is known to be highly detrimental to farmers for having a variety of host plants. The application of synthetic insecticides to eradicate pests has been proven to bring many negative impacts, especially regarding the cases of resistance and the presence of residues that are harmful to the environment. This study aims to study the effectiveness of potential bioactive compounds of Tigarun leaves (Crataeva nurvala Buch. Ham) as the biochemical insecticides of S. litura. Tigarun plant, widely used as traditional medicine, contains the potential bioactive compounds for bioinsecticides. The extraction process was carried out by maceration using methanol and ethyl acetate solvents, which were then identified for compound content through GCMS analysis. The bioassay method was performed using the test parameters of mortality and eating power of S. litura instar II larvae. The crude extracts from the two solvents obtained showed their effectiveness as bioinsecticides against S. litura instar II larvae. The highest efficacy occurred in the ethyl acetate extract using the contact poison method with the lowest LC50 value of 0.11. Both extracts were also able to reduce the appetite and provide sublethal effects on S. litura larvae. GCMS analysis indicated the presence of several compounds as insecticides in both Tigarun leaf extracts such as 1,2,3-Propanetriol (CAS) Glycerol; Tetradecanoic acid (CAS) Myristic acid; 9-Hexadecenoic acid; n-Hexadecanoic acid; oleic acid; Heneicosane; and Neophytadiene and several other compounds. This study recommends Tigarun leaf extract (C. nurvala) ethyl acetate with the contact method as a natural insecticide against S. litura.

Abstract

The growing and relatively large market share of 1,2-pentanediol (1,2-PeD) has attracted attention of researchers to find effective and economically viable catalysts. One type of catalyst that can be used for synthesizing this compound is transition-metal-based catalysts, employed in the hydrogenolysis of furfuryl alcohol (FOL). In this study, the hydrogenolysis of furfuryl alcohol were performed with 2-propanol as the hydrogen source and transition metal salts as the catalysts. The used catalysts include first-row early and late transition metals, i.e., ZrOCl2·8H2O, VOSO4·H2O, FeSO4·7H2O, CuSO4·5H2O, NiCl2, Al(NO3)3·H2O, CoCl2, FeCl3·6H2O, and Zn(NO3)2·6H2O. It was found that ZrOCl2·8H2O, VOSO4·H2O, and FeCl3·6H2O demonstrated superior catalytic activity compared to the other catalysts. Optimal reaction conditions for these three catalysts were achieved at 150 °C for 1 hour, using 2-propanol as the hydrogen source. Under these reaction conditions, the ZrOCl?·8H?O catalyst achieved 95.5% conversion of FOL and 30.3% yield of 1,2-PeD, while the VOSO?·H?O catalyst attained 80.5% conversion of FOL and 36.9% yield of 1,2-PeD. Both results were obtained with a low catalyst concentration of 0.6 mmol%. Meanwhile, the FeCl3·6H2O catalyst converted 94.9% of FOL and yielded 30.9% of 1,2-PeD, using a lower catalyst concentration of 0.4 mmol%. Kinetic studies suggested that the reactions likely follow pseudo-first-order kinetics with experimental activation energies (Ea) of 65 kJ/mol, 55 kJ/mol, and 37 kJ/mol for ZrOCl?·8H?O, VOSO?·H?O, and FeCl?·6H?O catalysts, respectively. These findings highlight the potential of transition-metal-based catalysts in achieving high efficiency with low loading, emphasizing their suitability for industrial applications.

Abstract

In this work, a simple sol-gel process method was studied for “one-pot” fabrication of silica particle cross-linked networks (SPCN). It is the first time that the co-precursors of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and ?-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and capping agent of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) are formulated to achieve the complete co-polymerization of the reaction solution. The reaction solution proposed involved TEOS and GPTMS (5:1 w/w) for feasibility preparation of SPCN. The copolymerization temperature was set at 40? for 24h of aging time. The results indicated that, by means of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as a capping agent, SPCN exhibited a well-defined three-dimensional (3D) porous network. The prepared SPCN was used for the synthesis of silica monolithic columns to show interstices distributed across the whole SPCN as well as monolithic columns. The BET surface area of the SPCN column was obtained at approximately 156 m2/g and an average pore width smaller than 26 nm.
