Fabrication of Novel Agrowaste (Banana and Potato Peels)-Based Biochar/TiO2 Nanocomposite for Adsorption of Cr(VI), Statistical Optimization via RSM Approach

TL;DR: In this article , a simple, efficient, and eco-friendly procedure for the biosorption of Cr(VI) ions was studied, and a detailed comparative study was performed to check the adsorption efficiency of agrowaste (banana and potato peels)-based adsorbents.
Journal Article

Synthesis of Stable Lithium Modified Mesoporous Catalyst for Oligomerization of Biodisel-drive Glycerol to Diglycerol

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of lithium modified mesoprous catalyst for dilyglycerol production via oligomerization of low value biodiesel drive glycerol is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective Synthesis of Renewable Bio-Jet Fuel Precursors from Furfural and 2-Butanone via Heterogeneously Catalyzed Aldol Condensation

TL;DR: In this article , aldol condensation of furfural and 2-butanone using MgAl mixed oxides as heterogeneous acid-base catalysts was investigated. And the results indicated that the methylene enolate ion of 2-Butanone is the kinetically favorable intermediate on an MgO(100) as a model oxide surface.

Mesoporous Acidic Catalysts Synthesis from Dual-Stage and Rising Co-Current Gasification Char: Application for FAME Production from Waste Cooking Oil.

TL;DR: Investigation of the application options of the char produced from gasification plants revealed that the dual-stage char-derived mesoporous catalyst (DSC-SO4) with higher specific surface area and acidic properties provided higher catalytic activity for fatty acid methyl esters production from waste cooking oil (WCO) than the mesoporus catalyst obtained from char produced by rising co-current gasification (RCC-SO 4).
