Journal ArticleDOI
Natural fiber reinforced composites: Sustainable materials for emerging applications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlighted some of the important breakthroughs associated with the NFRPCs in terms of sustainability, eco-friendliness, and economic perspective, and elucidated the significance of using numerical models for NFRMCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoparticles augmentation on biogas yield from microalgal biomass anaerobic digestion
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of metal and metal-oxide nanoparticles (NPs) on biogas production from green microalgae Enteromorpha was evaluated, and the results showed that NPs has moderate positive influence in biOGas production until 60h of retention time but significantly improve afterward.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, microwave irradiation is used for green algae (Enteromorpha) pretreatment in combination with iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) which act as a heterogeneous catalyst during anaerobic digestion process for biogas enhancement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimisation of Microwave Pretreatment for Biogas Enhancement through Anaerobic Digestion of Microalgal Biomass
TL;DR: In this article, an anaerobic digestion was carried out batch-wise with working volume, operating temperature and mixing rate as 250 ml, 37 °C and 150 rpm, respectively, and optimum conditions were achieved at MW power, pretreatment time and liquid-solid ratio of 656.92 W, 5.10 min and 33.63:1, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
