Herein, we present the production of jet and diesel range hydrocarbons from non-edible hexane-extracted Brassica carinata oil. The influence of four heterogeneous catalysts (two noble metal catalysts: Pd/C and Ru/C, and two transition metal…
Bengkalis waters is relatively busy traffic area due to regional and international marine transportation which is very vulnerable to oil pollution. Cleaning of oil spill could be attempted by the use microorganisms (bioremediation). Bioremediation is…
A silicon microparticulate material (SiMP) used as the anode for lithium-ion batteries promises higher volumetric capacity and less interfacial reactions than its costly nanoparticulate counterpart. However, what mostly hinders its practical use is…
Superamphiphobic materials are helping with urgent issues due to increasing industrial oil transportation, as well as common oil pollution, which has triggered large interest owing to their high application value and practicability. However, they are…
Rice husk-based SiO2/C composite is a promising anode material for lithium ion battery, but it remains necessary to explore simple methods to improve its lithium storage performance. In this research, SiO2/C was prepared by adjusting ash content of…
Rice hull-derived SiO2/C composites are promising anode materials for Li-ion battery, but it is a challenge to improve their lithium storage performance by a simple method. In this research, SiO2/C composites were prepared by heating rice hull char…
This study aims to design a novel green nanocomposite based on the synergistic effect between silica nanoparticles (SN) and cardanol (CDN). The latter is an environmentally friendly dispersant compound extracted from the cashew nut shell waste. Three…
Cellulose derivatives are widely applied in the field of oil and gas exploration. However, this kind of natural polymers always shows poor temperature resistance due to their organic nature. To improve the temperature resistance of hydroxyethyl…
To efficiently remove Ni from crude oils and also without corrosion occurring in the process, polymer brush with core-shell structure (PAA@SiO2) was synthesized by radical polymerization, in which micro-sized SiO2 as the core and polyacrylic acid as…
Lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4) based sorbents have been reported to show relatively high CO2 capture capacity and high stability and require lower regeneration temperatures than other high-temperature sorbents. Based on these properties, a capture…
Through silane coupling and free radical polymerization, using SiO2 as core and poly4-vinylpyridine (P4VP) as shell, polymer brush with core-shell structure (P4VP@SiO2) was designed and synthesized. The structure of P4VP@SiO2 was further…
Rubbery siloxane membranes are utilized in industry for the rejection of nitrogen and for the concentration of heavy hydrocarbons in the membrane permeate stream. In this work, modified crosslinked siloxane terpolymer…
Polycrystalline ZnFe2O4 thin films were deposited on Si and porous Si (PSi) substrates using Dynamic Aurora pulsed laser deposition (PLD in a magnetic field). The average grain sizes of ZnFe2O4/Si and ZnFe2O4/PSi were, respectively, 120 and 48 nm.…
This paper introduces a new method of video-compress based on MPEG-4. The coding algorithm adopts 3-D wavelet transformation and Shape Coding. In hardware implement, DSP chips and FPGA chips is adopted, FPGA completes the task of multiply clock…
