PRODUCTION OF GREEN DIESEL (DEOXYGENATED BIODIESEL) FROM BIOMASS

Journal of Engineering Research and Development
The growing demand for sustainable and energy-dense biofuels has intensified the search for low-cost, non-edible biomass feedstocks capable of producing diesel-range hydrocarbons with properties comparable to petroleum diesel. In this study, Gmelina arborea leaf biomass was valorised into green diesel (deoxygenated biodiesel) via a calcium hydroxide ...

Shining light on the aurora's contributions to people: A qualitative study of the aurora borealis in Greenland

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The aurora borealis (northern lights) is an abiotic natural phenomenon that contributes to human well‐being. There is currently a significant research gap in primary qualitative valuation of the aurora's links to people. This exploratory qualitative study applies the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES ...

Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

High‐strength composites by thiocracking of high‐polypropylene‐content mixed waste

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Mixed plastic waste made up of polystyrene and polypropylene was reacted with elemental sulfur to give high‐strength composites. Abstract Mixed‐material municipal waste poses a persistent end‐of‐life management challenge because the heterogeneous composition limits efficient separation and recycling. After disposal, mixed‐material waste often fragments
