Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesBioethanol Production from Graminoid Weeds in Bayero University Kano: A Potential Feedstock for Future Sustainable Aviation Fuel ApplicationsAdam Salihu Kila, Sa’idu Hassan Musa, Umar Aliyu Ahmed et al.This study evaluates the potential of selected graminoid weeds from Bayero University, Kano (BUK), Nigeria, as feedstock for bioethanol production. Ten (10) abundant weed species, including Cenchrus species, Cynodon dactylon, and Setaria barbata, were subjected to physicochemical pretreatment (ultrasonication, hydrothermal treatment, and enzymatic hydrolysis) followed by fermentation using Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and their co-culture. Pretreatment significantly enhanced reducing sugar … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 15 Jul 2026 · 1,170 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOptimized Biodiesel Production from jatropha curcas oilHaruna Musa, Daniel Eric, Alkhairu Hassan et al.In this study, a mathematical model for the trans-esterification reaction of jatropha curcas seed Oil (JCO) was developed using Response Surface Methodology(RSM) in terms of operational variables such as temperature (50 to 80°C), catalyst concentration (0.7 to 1% in relation to oil mass) and methanol/oil ratio (3:1-9:1), at fixed reaction time (90 min) and mixing intensity. Biodiesel was produced by … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Oct 2021 · 7,286 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesUtilization of Rumen Content by Indigenous Microorganisms in a Modified Anaerobic DigesterAlhassan Salihu Adam, Sani Yahaya, Haruna Musa et al.The current work was designed to assess the effect of modification of model digester on the kinetics that affects efficiency in biogas generation using bovine rumen content as the feedstock. A biogas plant consisting of conventional and modified fixed-dome digesters (each with 2 m3 capacity) was established; and bovine rumen content was used as feedstock. Standard methods were used to … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Sep 2020 · 6,780 accessesView PDF Cite
