“…The result is improved engine performance, reduced emission and reduced fuel consumption. It could significantly reduce the particulate emissions of diesel fuel (Rakopoulos et al, 2008 ) (e.g., reduction of CO 2 and NO emission) and increase oxygen and air concentration (Lin and Chen, 2006 ). In addition, it could improve the thermal stability of jet fuels as well as significantly reduce (1–70%) deposits in jet engines (Forester et al, 2003 ).…”

The last 20 years have seen an unprecedented breakthrough in the biodiesel industry worldwide leads to abundance of glycerol. Therefore, the economic utilization of glycerol to various value-added chemicals is vital for the sustainability of the biodiesel industry. One of the promising processes is acetalization of glycerol to acetals and ketals for applications as fuel additives. These products could be obtained by acid-catalyzed reaction of glycerol with aldehydes and ketones. Application of different supported heterogeneous catalysts such as zeolites, heteropoly acids, metal-based and acid-exchange resins have been evaluated comprehensively in this field. In this review, the glycerol acetalization has been reported, focusing on innovative and potential technologies for sustainable production of solketal. In addition, the impacts of various parameters such as application of different reactants, reaction temperature, water removal, utilization of crude-glycerol on catalytic activity in both batch and continuous processes are discussed. The outcomes of this research will therefore significantly improve the technology required in tomorrow's bio-refineries. This review provides spectacular opportunities for us to use such renewables and will consequently benefit the industry, environment and economy.

“…2 This power loss leads to increased fuel consumption, resulting in higher emissions of CO x , SO x and NO x , which contributes to the destruction of the ozone layer, enhanced greenhouse effect and acid rain. 3 In addition, marine biofouling is a significant problem in other marine-related industries, as fouling organisms also colonize and corrode immersed man-made surfaces on oceanographic instrumentation, power plant water intakes, heat exchangers and condensers, membrane bioreactors, aquaculture equipment and water desalination systems. 4 The development of technologies to combat marine biofouling has taken place over 2000 years.…”

“…It has been estimated that heavy calcareous biofouling on a ship hull could increase the required shaft power by 86%, as compared to an equivalent vessel with a smooth hull .

Understanding how surface physicochemical properties influence the settlement and adhesion of marine fouling organisms is important for the development of effective and environmentally benign marine antifouling coatings. We demonstrate that the thickness of random poly(HEMA-co-PEG10MA) copolymer brushes affect antifouling behaviour.Films of thicknesses ranging from 50 to 1000 Å were prepared via surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerization, and characterized using infrared spectroscopy, ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy and contact angle measurements. The fouling resistance of these films was investigated by protein adsorption, attachment of the marine bacterium Cobetia marina, settlement and strength of attachment tests of zoospores of the marine alga Ulva linza, and static immersion field tests. These assays show that the polymer film thickness influenced the antifouling performance, in that there is an optimum thickness range, 200-400 Å, where fouling of all types, as well as algal spore adhesion, was lower. Field test results also showed lower fouling within the same thickness range after two weeks' immersion. Studies by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and underwater captive bubble contact angle measurements show strong correlation between lower fouling and higher hydration, viscosity and surface energy of the poly(HEMA-co-PEG10MA) brushes at thicknesses around 200-400 Å. We hypothesize that the reduced antifouling performance is caused by a lower hydration capacity of the polymer for thinner films, and that entanglement and crowding in the film reduces the conformational freedom, hydration capacity, and fouling resistance for thicker films.3
