Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTransformation of Lignocellulosic Biomass into Sustainable Biofuels: Major Challenges and Bioprocessing TechnologiesTahira Naz, Yusuf Nazir, Abu Bakr Ahmad Fazili et al.Commercial-scale production of biofuels has recently been intensified due to its cost-effectiveness, sustainability, market stability, alternative fuel energy composition and greener output, etc. Lignocellulosic biomass attracted the attention of researchers as a renewable feedstock for fermentative conversion into biofuels because of its high productivity, low agricultural input requirements, being environmentally friendly and no competition with the food crops. The field … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 1 Aug 2020 · 7,710 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhycoremediation and the Potential of Sustainable Algal Biofuel Production using WastewaterAdel A. Fathi, Mohamed M. Azooz, Mohamed A. Al-FredanWastewater remediation by microalgae is an eco-friendly process with no secondary pollution as long as the biomass produced is reused and allows efficient nutrient recycling. This study was undertaken to evaluate the remediation of wastewater by the green alga Chlorella vulgaris and the potential of these alga (biomass) to produce sustainable biofuel. The results shows that the cultivation of green … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 27 Feb 2013 · 7,536 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Nitrogen on Growth and Lipid Content of Chlorella pyrenoidosaSubhasha Nigam, Monika Prakash Rai, Rupali SharmaProblem Statement: In today’s scenario, microalgae are widely recognized as a promising source for biofuel production as a renewable source of energy. They are exceedingly rich in oil, which can be converted to biofuel. This paper deals with one of the method to enhance the lipid content in microalgae. Approach: Microalga, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, was grown autotrophically in batch culture and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 22 Sep 2011 · 12,285 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExperimental Trails on Diesel Engine Performance and Emission Characteristics of Waste Cooking Oil Combinations at Varying Injection PressuresAbdullah Al-Ghafis, M. Shameer BashaProgressive rising of conventional fuel prices, as well as the high strengthened necessities of the environmental norms to reduce the atmospheric pollution levels, are flattering great challenges to scientists and researchers all over the world. In this regard, biofuels have become one of the best alternative fuels for conventional IC engine operation with reduced emissions and improved performance. Goal of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2021 · 7,488 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Salinity, pH, Light Intensity on Growth and Lipid Production of Microalgae for Bioenergy ApplicationMonika Prakash Rai, Trishnamoni Gautom, Nikunj SharmaThe crisis of energy producing molecules (fuels) is expected to increase in future, which is currently produced from crude mineral oil. Biodiesel is most reliable, non-toxic, biocompatible liquid fuel that can replace the existing unsustainable sources of energy. Among all the known sources, microalgae display high potential for the production of biodiesel owing to their numerous benefits like higher biomass … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2015 · 16,789 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProductivity and Energy Efficiency of Hybrid Sorrel (Rumex tianschanicus × Rumex patientia) Under Various Mowing and Fertilization RegimesAltinay Naziulovna Kukusheva, Ainagul Balgauovna Kaliyeva, Zarina Mukhtarovna Sergazinova et al.Hybrid sorrel (Rumex patientia × Rumex tianschanicus) is a multi-purpose crop that serves as both a fodder source and a potential biofuel feedstock. Despite growing interest in perennial forage and energy crops, limited information is available on the performance of hybrid sorrel (Rumex tianschanicus × Rumex patientia) under varying mowing and fertilization regimes, particularly in continental climates. This study aimed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2026 · 1,396 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Combustion Curve for Biomass Co-combustion with CoalRong Li, Li Li et al.Biofuel-coal co-combustion represents an innovative approach tocombustion that optimally harnesses biomass energy alongside coalresources, resulting in a significant reduction in pollutant emissions. Thisstudy investigates the combustion characteristics of peanut shell biomass,coal, and their blends at varying heating rates (5, 10, 20, and 40℃/min) anddifferent blending ratios. The effects of these parameters on the combustionprocess were systematically analyzed. The results indicate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 13 May 2025 · 4,511 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of NaCl on the Stability of Ab3 Lipase from Sphingobacterium sp. that Co-Expressed with LEA K Using In silico ApproachIbrahim Muhammad et al.This study explores how sodium chloride (NaCl) influences the binding affinity and stability of the Ab3 lipase-LEA K complex when interacting with olive oil, using molecular docking techniques. The docking simulations, conducted with AutoDock Vina, reveal that the presence of NaCl significantly enhances the binding affinity of the enzyme-substrate complex, increasing it from-6.55 kcal/mol in the absence of salt to-7.81 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2025 · 5,599 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite
