Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMethanol-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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProduction of Potassium and Calcium Hydroxide, Compost and Humic Acid from Sago (Metroxylon sagu) WasteC. P. Auldry, O. H. Ahmed, A.M. Nik Muhamad et al.Problem statement: Agriculture waste such as Sago Waste (SW) has a potential to cause pollution when the waste is discarded into rivers. In order to add value to SW, a study was conducted to produce potassium and calcium hydroxide, compost and Humic Acid (HA) from SW. Approach: The SW was air-dried and some grinded. The grinded SW was incinerated at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,583 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Biodiesel Production from Roast Thai Sausage Oil by Transesterification ReactionWasan Theansuwan, Kitrichai TriratanasirichaiProblem statement: This research is to study the feasibility of biodiesel production from roast Thai sausage oil by transesterification process. Approach: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of potassium Hydroxide (K2OH3) as heterogeneous catalyst (3-9% (wt) of the feedstock) and methanol-oil molar ratio (3:1-12:1) on the yield and properties (flash point and fire point) of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2011 · 8,157 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegeneration of Lyes for Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) Processes in Dairies: Comparison of Recycled Potash and Soda Solutions Cleaning PropertiesMarie Furic, Anne Elain, Walid Blel, Olivier SireThe regeneration of lyes for their integration in the dairy CIP was investigated applying an original process combining adsorption/coagulation and flocculation operations. Solutions of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and caustic soda (NaOH) soiled with 1% (v/v) of whole milk were submitted up to twenty successive regeneration cycles. The multiple recycling of the regenerated solutions was found to modify their physicochemical characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 6 Jul 2015 · 6,624 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplications of Method Chosen for Analysis of Fatty Acids in Meat: A ReviewLivia Facuri Araujo Macedo, Ellen Cristina Quirino Lacerda, Roberio Rodrigues Silva et al.The influence of the beef Fatty Acid (FA) profile on human health, has become a recurring concern. For an analysis of the lipid composition of food, it is necessary that the complex lipids be quantified in a suitable form for subsequent analysis of their composition by gas chromatography. The choice of appropriate methods of lipid extraction and esterification of fatty … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Jul 2012 · 8,633 accessesView PDF Cite
