“…In addition to these, the peak of 2954.95 cm −1 pointed to the presence of naphthenic structures. The results of FTIR analysis also revealed that the spectrum bands related to the oils were predominantly similar to both that of commercial diesel fuel and those of other catalytic oils obtained from the catalytic cracking of the waste transformer oil with the use of a catalyst such as fly ash and hydroquinone . Furthermore, the comparative spectra belong to the oils of TO and BCTO was in agreement with those of other studies containing the used engine oil and the spent lubricant engine oil with the use of a catalyst of coal ash and barium‐strontium ferrite.…”

In this study, the main target was to obtain the liquid fuel‐like product from the catalytic cracking of the used transformer oil over bentonite as a low‐cost catalyst. For this aim, a series of cracking runs were performed under certain experimental conditions (450 °C cracking temperature, 10 °C/min of heating rate, and catalyst in the range of 0–8.0 wt %) in a fixed‐bed reactor. In catalytic cracking runs, the use of bentonite as a catalyst led to a considerable increase in yield of the cracking oil comparable to that of the noncatalytic oil. The highest yield value of 98.64 wt % was achieved at catalyst ratio of 4.0 wt %. Furthermore, the liquid product obtained in the highest yield was characterized by FTIR and GC–MS to evaluate its composition in terms of compound distributions as a comparison with the noncatalytic run. Also, its fuel properties such as cetane index, higher heating value, viscosity, density, water content, elemental content, and so forth were analyzed using standard test techniques. Based on these results obtained, the catalytic liquid product can be utilized to prepare liquid fuel blends with diesel for the diesel engines. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13080, 2019

“…Lastly, the major absorption peak both of the diesel and biodiesel are alkanes and their bond type is very strong. Base on the analysis, hydrocarbon groups C-H indicates diesel and biodiesel are saturated hydrocarbon and prospective to be used as an alternative fuels for engine (Nabi et al, 2013).…”

Biodiesel from green energy source is gaining tremendous attention for ecofriendly and economically aspect. In this investigation, a two-step process was developed for the production of biodiesel from microalgae Spirulina maxima and determined best operating conditions for the steps. In the first stage, acid esterification was conducted to lessen acid value (AV) from 10.66 to 0.51 mgKOH/g of the feedstock and optimal conditions for maximum esterified oil yielding were found at molar ratio 12:1, temperature 60 C, 1% (wt%) H 2 SO 4 , and mixing intensity 400 rpm for a reaction time of 90 min. The second stage alkali transesterification was carried out for maximum biodiesel yielding (86.1%) and optimal conditions were found at molar ratio 9:1, temperature 65 C, mixing intensity 600 rpm, catalyst concentration 0.75% (wt%) KOH for a reaction time of 20 min. Biodiesel were analyzed according to ASTM standards and results were within standards limit. Results will helpful to produce third generation algal biodiesel from microalgae Spirulina maxima in an efficient manner.

“…Bangladesh importa la mayoría de los aceites de petróleo de Medio Oriente. Desde este punto de vista, el aceite de transformador de desechos (WTO, por sus siglas en inglés) puede ser una fuente alternativa para los aceites de petróleo [17]. El aceite dieléctrico de origen vegetal se fabrica empleando materiales renovables, como productos agrícolas, cuyas emisiones de carbono son inferiores a las del aceite mineral y fueron desarrollados comercialmente desde 1999 por una creciente preocupación hacia el medio ambiente [18].…”

El objetivo de la presente investigación es evaluar las propiedades del aceite vegetal y aceite mineral utilizados como dieléctricos y refrigerantes en transformadores de potencia, equipos que son usados en la explotación de los campos petroleros, utilizando. En base a la norma ASTM D1524, se realizó una prueba visual con cinco muestras de cada uno de los aceites, obteniendo valores promedio de 1,15 y 0,6 para el aceite mineral y aceite vegetal, respectivamente. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que el aceite vegetal mantiene sus propiedades durante un tiempo prolongado, lo que ayuda a la vida útil del equipo. Para la prueba de rigidez dieléctrica según la prueba ASTM D1816, para el aceite vegetal se realizan cinco mediciones obteniendo como valores promedio 32,9, 29,6, 31,1, 30,7, 32,6; mientras que para el aceite mineral los resultados promedio de las cinco mediciones fueron de 31,2, 28,5, 29,6, 28,9, 30. Así se demostró que el aceite vegetal es mejor al poseer mayor rigidez dieléctrica.
