Dataset on acido-biocatalysis of agro solid wastes in acidic medium for the conversion of pink solo seed oil to biodiesel fuel.

In an attempt to find a single stage conversion of high free fatty acid (FFA) of Pink Solo oilseed rather than the double steps, acidic catalyst was derived from burnt fermented sweet corn stock powder immersed in acidic environment, and was used to convert Pink Solo oilseed to biodiesel. The derived catalyst was characterized using TGA, ZETA, FTIR, SEM-EDX, XRF-FS, and BET analysis. Process modeling and optimization was carried out using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN).

Carbon-to-nitrogen ratios in agricultural residues.

Agronomic crop residues produce greenhouse gas emissions. Crops that produce residues at harvest and during processing may vary from country to country. These residues, which can be in the form of peels, husks, stalks, or straw, are generally considered to be waste products.
