Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization and kinetic studies on biodiesel production from underutilized Ceiba Pentandra oil
Pandian Sivakumar,Sathyaseelan Sindhanaiselvan,N. Nagendra Gandhi,Sureshan Shiyamala Devi,Sahadevan Renganathan +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the production of biodiesel from non-edible Ceiba Pentandra oil by two-step acid base transesterification and found that the conversion of triglycerides into methyl esters obeys the first-order mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bio-diesel production by alkali catalyzed transesterification of dairy waste scum
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the potential of using dairy waste scum as a feed stock for bio-diesel production and found that low free fatty acid content was a notorious parameter to determine the viability of alkaline transesterification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of biodiesel from mixed waste vegetable oil using an aluminium hydrogen sulphate as a heterogeneous acid catalyst
TL;DR: The high catalytic activity and stability of this catalyst was related to its high acid site density, hydrophobicity that prevented the hydration of -OH group, and hydrophilic functional groups that gave improved accessibility of methanol to the triglyceride.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of liquid biofuels (biodiesel and bioethanol) from brown marine macroalgae Padina tetrastromatica
Veeramuthu Ashokkumar,Mohd Razman Salim,Zainal Salam,Pandian Sivakumar,Cheng Tung Chong,Sanniyasi Elumalai,Veeraperumal Suresh,Farid Nasir Ani +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated biomass conversion concept of producing liquid biofuels from brown marine macroalga Padina tetrastromatica was investigated, where the algal biomass was collected from the Mandapam coastal region and processed under laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering properties of concrete with partial utilization of used foundry sand.
Thiruvenkitam Manoharan,Dhamothiran Laksmanan,Kaliyannan Mylsamy,Pandian Sivakumar,Anirbid Sircar +4 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that UFS can effectively replace river sand, however, it is recommended that the replacement should not exceed 20 wt%.
