Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of the production of biodiesel from Waste cooking oil

TL;DR: The most common process in the production of biodiesel is transesterification, and using a methanol-ethanol mixture will combine the advantages of both alcohols in biodiesel production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ionic liquid pretreatment as emerging approaches for enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass

TL;DR: It is strongly believed that IL-compatible cellulase systems would eliminate the need to recover the regenerated biomass and lead to a simple, in situ saccharification of cellulosic materials, which would be beneficial in developing integrated bioprocesses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of Natural Coagulant from Moringa Oleifera Seed for Application in Treatment of Low Turbidity Water

TL;DR: In this article, an efficient and cost effective processing technique for Moringa oleifera seeds to produce natural coagulant for use in drinking water treatment was developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimization of process parameters for the bioconversion of activated sludge by penicillium corylophilum, using response surface methodology

TL;DR: The optimization of process parameters for the bioconversion of activated sludge by Penicillium corylophilum was investigated using response surface methodology (RSM), which showed that an incubation temperature of 32.5 degrees C, agitation of 105 r/min, and pH of 5.5 were the best conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adsorption of methylene blue from aqueous solution using untreated and treated ( Metroxylon spp.) waste adsorbent: equilibrium and kinetics studies

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of acid and alkali modification on the adsorption capacity of sago waste was investigated and the results showed that the acid treatment more than doubled the sorption capacity by increasing the porosity, surface area and number of adorption sites.
