Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodegradation of Low-Density Polyethylene Film by UV Irradiated and Non-Irradiated Pseudomonas Aeruginosa D5Olusola Adeoye Oluwole, Temitayo Omotunde Olowomofe, Ikeoluwa Gloria OlaniyanLow-density polyethylene (LDPE) constitutes 60% of total plastic production, and non-degradable polyethylene carry bags are the most common type of solid waste found. Their recalcitrance in the environment is thus a major concern for environmentalists. This study investigated the potential of Ultraviolet (UV) induced mutation in enhancing biodegradation of LDPE films by two diesel degrading bacteria, Alcaligenes faecalis D4 and … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 8 Oct 2025 · 3,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Mathematical Modeling of the Turbulence Combustion Biodiesel in a Compression Ignition Engine: Theoretical FrameworkFrancis Mouzong Bongne, Zacharie Merlin Ayissi et al.The present work proposes a new model for biodiesel combustion in an internal combustion engine. This model first includes the balance equations of gas dynamics with heat release. Secondly, a model with special properties that take into account turbulence effects is incorporated. The chemical models implemented in this study are for a biofuel used at less than 100% and for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 30 Sep 2024 · 5,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign, Fabrication and Operational Evaluation of a Co-Pyrolysis System for Waste-Plastics Derived Fuels: A Study of Edo NorthKevin Otoikhian, Ubani Oluwaseun Amune, Kennedy Edogamhe et al.This research work designed, developed and assessed the performance of a co-pyrolysis system generating waste-plastic extract fuels from mixed Municipal Waste Plastics (MWP) while evaluating High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polypropylene (PP) and Polystyrene (PS) as the main municipal waste plastic sources. The materials selected for the reactor were carefully studied to meet the pyrolysis system's strength, operability and safety requirements. The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2022 · 7,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimized 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Limonene-based Environmental-Friendly Emulsion Drilling MudOlaitan Oluwaseum Micheal, Orodu Oyinkepreye David, Ehinmowo Adegboyega BoluThe use of emulsion drilling mud in the oil and gas industry has gained wide acceptance. However, the disposal of drill cuttings and the waste of such emulsion drilling mud usually poses environmental concern. Hence, there is the need to seek oil from biodegradable sources as an alternative to the current conventional diesel oil which constitute environmental threat. In this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2017 · 7,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCytogenetic Analysis among Train Depot Workers Exposed to Total Volatile Organic CompoundsNormah Awang, Siti Adillah Isah, Asmah HamidOccupational exposure to toxic chemicals such as Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC) from diesel engine exhaust implicates genotoxic risk. The objective of this study was to determine the DNA damage among KL Sentral depot workers exposed to TVOC by means of cytogenetic analysis. Data were obtained partially from disseminated questionnaires and buccal cells samples were collected from a total of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2015 · 7,443 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractON THE CHALLENGES OF THE USE AND INTEGRATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESMariano MartínOverview: Although renewable energy sources are plentiful, their availability is highly volatile in time and distributed across regions while and the processes that transform them into useful power or chemicals are underdeveloped. In this work we discuss on the scope for the use and integration of renewable energy sources and the future development of the alternatives. Energy, the sources and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 11 Sep 2014 · 7,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmission Factors of CH4 and CO2 Emitted from VehiclesSutthicha Nilrit, Pantawat Sampanpanish, Surat BualertThe study of the Emission Factors (EF) of methane (CH4) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emitted from vehicle exhaust is the study of greenhouse gases that are crucial to climate change. These gases are part of a fuel known as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or as Natural Gas for Vehicles (NGV) in Thailand. This fuel is used as an alternative to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2013 · 8,199 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethanol-Based Transesterification Optimization of Waste Used Cooking Oil over Potassium Hydroxide CatalystCholada Komintarachat, Sathaporn ChuepengProblem statement: Waste used Cooking Oil (WCO) harmfully affected to environment and human’s health can be a feedstock for producing biodiesel. Approach: The conversion of Fatty Acid and Free Fatty Acid (FFA) of WCO with 15.0% w/w FFA content to biodiesel was studied through transesterification reactions. This work investigated the effects of alcohol and catalyst quantity, reaction time and temperature … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 9,739 accessesView PDFCite
