Impregnation of Silica Gel with Choline Chloride-MEA as an eco-friendly adsorbent for CO capture.

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are a generation of ionic liquids that benefit from low cost, good stability, and environmental-friendly features. In this research, a porous silica gel was impregnated with a eutectic Choline Chloride-Monoethanolamine solvent (ChCl-MEA) to greatly improve its CO capture performance. In the impregnation, the weight percentages of ChCl-MEA were used in the range of 10-60 wt% at a temperature of 25 °C.

Facile synthesis of Persian gum-graphene oxide composite as a novel adsorbent for CO capture: characterization and optimization.

Burning fossil fuels releases toxic gases into the environment and has negative effects on it. In this study, Persian gum@Graphene oxide (Pg@GO) was synthesized and used as a novel adsorbent for CO capture. The characterization of materials was determined through XRD, FTIR, FE-SEM, and TGA analysis.

Biodiesel production from Mastic oil via electrolytic transesterification: optimization using response surface methodology and engine test.

This study aimed to synthesize the biodiesel from Mastic oil by electrolysis method. Mastic gum is a potential and inexpensive feedstock for the biodiesel production. The oil content of Mastic gum was ~ 20% of the total gum weight.

Production of biodiesel from oil via electrolysis using KOH/Clinoptilolite as catalyst.

Backgrounds: In recent years, fossil fuels are the main energy supply in both transportation and industry. Their increasing consumption has been causing global warming and acid raining. One of the alternative fuels that is considered today is biodiesel, which is clean and eco-friendly.
