Ultrasound assisted biodiesel production from sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) oil using barium hydroxide as a heterogeneous catalyst: Comparative assessment of prediction abilities between response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN).
TL;DR: The present study estimates the prediction capability of response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) models for biodiesel synthesis from sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) oil under ultrasonication using barium hydroxide as a basic heterogeneous catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement effect of hematite and nickel nanoparticles on biohydrogen production from dairy wastewater
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of hematite (Fe2O3) and nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles (NP) on bio-hydrogen production were investigated using dairy wastewater in batch test.
Journal ArticleDOI
