TL;DR: In this article, in-situ and space-borne observations reveal an extremely high loading of particulates over the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), all year around, since the pollutants undergo long range transport from their source regions to the Indian mainland, leading to an outflow of continental pollutants into the Bay of Bengal (BoB), and a net advection of desert dust aerosols into the IGP from southwest Asia (SW-Asia), northwest India (NW-India) and northern Africa (N-Africa) during summers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waste materials as potential catalysts for biodiesel production: Current state and future scope
TL;DR: In this article, a brief overview of the developments of various Ca-based catalysts derived from waste materials as an efficient catalyst for biodiesel production with significant yield is presented, where the waste materials employed as heterogeneous catalysts have an abundance of natural Ca content and they have high catalyst activity and selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of real pharmaceutical wastewater using combined approach of Fenton applications and aerobic biological treatment
TL;DR: The use of Fenton applications as a pre-treatment resulted in a significant enhancement in the BOD5/COD ratio validating the production of easily degradable metabolites or secondary products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of EGR on the simultaneous reduction of NOx-smoke emissions trade-off under CNG-biodiesel dual fuel engine
Sunil Kumar Mahla,Amit Dhir,Kanwar J.S. Gill,Haeng Muk Cho,Hee Chang Lim,Bhupendra Singh Chauhan +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an attempt has been made to introduce exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) under compressed natural gas (CNG) fuelled diesel engine using Jatropha biodiesel (B20) blend as pilot fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of compression ratio on combustion, performance, and emission characteristics of compression ignition engine fueled with palm (B20) biodiesel blend
Pali Rosha,Saroj Kumar Mohapatra,Sunil Kumar Mahla,Haeng-Muk Cho,Bhupendra Singh Chauhan,Amit Dhir +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of variable compression ratio (16:1, 17:1 and 18:1) on various engine characteristics by fuelling 20% palm biodiesel blending compression ignition engine was investigated.
