Journal ArticleDOI
Biolubricant synthesis from waste cooking oil via enzymatic hydrolysis followed by chemical esterification
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-step process of C. rugosa lipase-mediated hydrolysis of WCO to free fatty acids (FFA) followed by Amberlyst 15H esterification of FFA with octanol was developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of the production parameters of octyl ester biolubricant using Taguchi's design method and physico-chemical characterization of the product
TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical experimental design method (Taguchi L 9 orthogonal array) was implemented to optimize the experimental conditions to maximize conversion of free fatty acids (FFA) to the corresponding octyl esters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Crosslinker on the Biodegradation Behavior of Starch/Polyvinylalcohol Blend Films
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of crosslinkers on the biodegradation behavior of starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blend films was investigated by weight loss study, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation behaviour of PMMA/cellulose nanocomposites prepared by in-situ polymerization and ex-situ dispersion methods
TL;DR: In this article, the change in molecular weights of PMMA in the biodegraded samples was determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), which indicated a significant change in the chemical structure of IPC after biodegradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Desulfurization of Gasoline by Pervaporation
TL;DR: In this paper, the advances of pervaporative operation for gasoline desulfurization are reviewed and the selectivity and permeability with varying feed composition and operating parameters are analyzed.
