Study of the impact on emissions and engine performance of diesel fuel additives made from cotton and castor blended seed oils

Heliyon
Many approaches have been implemented in order to reduce the emissions of particular pollutants without compromising engine performance. Cotton and castor mixed seed oil was chosen for the current study due to their distinct fatty acid composition and ...

Formulation of biogrease from castor waste [PDF]

, 2014
Grease is a mixture of a fluid lubricant usually petroleum oil and a thickener (soap) dispersed in the oil. The base oil (petroleum) can be changed by using the castor waste. Other than base oil, thickener may play an important role in the mixture.

Observation of Catalytic Variability of Single Enzyme Zeolitic Imidazole Framework‐8 Nanoparticles

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A microwell‐based fluorescence method characterizes the catalytic activity of single enzyme zeolitic imidazole framework‐8 (ZIF‐8) nanoparticles (NPs). Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) are loaded into ZIF‐8 NPs and reveal subpopulations of catalytic activity at single‐particle resolution.

Solvent‐Free Phase Separation of Polystyrene‐block‐poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) Forming Freestanding Photonic Films

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This work presents a scalable, eco‐friendly approach to forming microstructured block copolymer (BCP) films within 15 min through hot pressing. This process enables phase separation even for high‐molecular‐weight BCPs, which are often trapped in spherical structures using time‐consuming solvent processes.

Superhydrophilic TiO2/WO2.72 Nanocomposites Boost PES Membranes Performance for Natural Spring Water Decontamination

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
TiO2 membrane photocatalytic activity outperformed TiO2/WO2.72 membrane. TiO2/WO2.72 membrane outperformed in hydrophilicity, permeation, rejection and antifouling. UV254 absorbance (0.14) was reduced in natural spring water with TiO2/WO2.72 membrane.
