TL;DR: In this article, the biochar derived from the rice husk, wheat straw, and corncob has been used for the adsorptive removal of heavy metals, including the lead (Pb+2) and cadmium (Cd+2).
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of biodiesel from non-edible (Brachychiton populneus) oil in the presence of nickel oxide nanocatalyst: Parametric and optimisation studies.
Sumreen Dawood,Apurav Krishna Koyande,Mushtaq Ahmad,Muhammad Mubashir,Saira Asif,Jiří Jaromír Klemeš,Awais Bokhari,Sidra Saqib,Moonyong Lee,Muhammad Abdul Qyyum,Pau Loke Show +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a green method for the synthesis of the nickel oxide nanocatalyst by using an aqueous latex extract of the Ficus elastic was defined, and the catalyst was examined for the conversion of novel Brachychiton populneus seed oil (BPSO) into biodiesel.
Journal ArticleDOI
A practical approach for synthesis of biodiesel via non-edible seeds oils using trimetallic based montmorillonite nano-catalyst.
