Rhodococcus sp. FS-1 ,which can specially break the C[single bond]S bond of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and convert DBT into 2-hydrobenzophene by "4S" pathway, is used to decrease the sulfur content in diesel oil. This research focuses on the diesel oil desulfurization using resting cells of Rhodococcus sp. FS-1. The research result indicate that the desulfurization activity of the resting cells of Rhodococcus sp. FS-1 was strongly high. When the concentration of DBT was 0.5 - 1.0mmol/L and the ratio of oil/water was 1:5, the effect of desulfurization was highest. The desulfurization rate was over 85 % when desulfurizing the diesel oil twice. GC analysis proves that this process did not break the carbon-carbon backbone. The calorific value of diesel oil is reserved.

The present work emphasizes the viability of methyl ester production, characterization, and utilization of third-generation biofuel from Chlorella vulgaris microalgae. The presence of methyl oleate (CHO) in the Chlorella vulgaris methyl ester (CVME) algae signifies the existence of higher oxidation stability and prone to peroxidation. The single-stage transesterified CVME algae contains majorly (C-H) functional group trailed by (C = O), (C-O), (O-CH), (C-O-C) with the elemental compositions of 66.

In spectral analysis, selecting the right spectral variables is crucial for effective modeling. It reduces data dimensionality, removes irrelevant wavelength points, and improves both the generalization ability and computational efficiency of the model. However, the number of available samples often falls short of the total possible combinations of wavelengths, making variable selection a non-deterministic polynomial-time (NP) hard optimization problem.

Natural Source Zone Deletion (NSZD) is a viable long-term management option for sites impacted by petroleum hydrocarbon fuels. NSZD rate estimation methods for petroleum mass losses often use soil gas gradients of oxygen, carbon dioxide, methane or vapour concentrations through the vadose zone. Seeking greater efficiencies, we investigated if existing short-screened wells are reliable for representative sampling of soil gases in a vadose zone undergoing NSZD.

To mitigate the exhaustion of hydrocarbon fuels and the rise of pollutants, one can use biofuels in diesel engines for power generation. This study examines the possibility of enhancing the performance and reducing the pollutions of a compressed ignition engine using methyl ester made from cotton silk seed oil. This study aimed to assess the energy, energy efficiency, and emissions (3E) of the Kirloskar engine operating at 1800 rpm.

Background: Anemia is a major global burden, and occupational gasoline exposure is a common occupational hazard factor. Although previous studies have shown that there is a potential relationship between occupational gasoline exposure and the increase of anemia prevalence, this relationship has not been fully explored. The current cohort study aimed to investigate the association between occupational exposure to gasoline and anemia, and the effect of gasoline concentration on hemoglobin (Hb) levels.
