Article
Full-text available
This article presents a green approach in the biological base oil synthesis from catfish fat by-product using the hydrodynamic cavitation technique. The effects of parameters on the yield of reaction were investigated. The application of the cavitation technique has improved the process efficiency significantly. The catfish polyester oil yield reac...

In this study, the chemical conversion of catfish fat (CFF) into bio-based oils using the cavitation technique has been carried out. The influence of parameters on the reaction yield, including inlet pressure, amount of reactant, temperature, and time were investigated. The results obtained have demonstrated the outstanding efficiency of applying t...

Biodiesel, an alternative diesel fuel, is made from renewable biological sources such as vegetable oil, waste cooking oil, and animal fat. This work for the first time presents the biodiesel production from Tra fat with methanol using KOH/γ-Al2O3 catalyst as heterogeneous catalyst using low frequency ultrasonic mixing (20 kHz). The main object of t...

Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) is a by-product of the cashew industry. It naturally contains phenol derivatives, which can act as reagents for a variety of reactions. It is cheap and renewable raw material that can be employed for the manufacture of a multitude of valuable products. CNSL, by itself, is useful for insecticides, fungicidal, anti-term...

In our work, biodiesel was prepared from Tra fat by methanolysis reaction using activated calcium oxide as solid base catalyst. Effects of various process parameters on biodiesel production such as molar ratio of methanol to fat, catalyst concentration, temperature and time of reaction and the active mechanism of CaO catalyst for the transesterific...

The oxidation of 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran by singlet oxygen generated from zinc tetrasulfophthalocyanine sensizer was investigated in Dimethylformamide. The result shows that singlet oxygen quantum yields calculated in this case is 0.456.
Article
Full-text available
In this study, biodiesel was produced from fat of tra catfish by methanolysis reaction with KOH/y-A12O3 heterogenous catalyst. This research was carried out using response surface methodology (RSM) based on four-variable central composite design (CCD) with a = 1,54671. The transesterification process variables and their investigated ranges were met...

Full-text available
The oxidation and photooxidation of sulfide catalyzed by soluble phthalocynines were carried out. The results showed that both Zinc(II) Tetrasulfophthalocyanine (ZnTSPc) and Cobalt(II) Tetrasulfophthalocyanine (COTSPC) have catalytic activities in the oxidation of Sulfide. The degradation yiel minute under the light visible irradiation and in the d...
Article
Alkali-catalyzed transesterification of waste cooking oils, collected within Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with methanol was carried out in a laboratory scale reactor. The effects of methanol/waste cooking oils ratio, potassium hydroxide concentration and temperature on the biodiesel conversion were investigated. Biodiesel yield of 88–90% was obtained...
Article
The preparation of a SiC coating on a carbon fiber surface using a sol-gel mixture of tetraethyl orthosilicat (TEOS) and phenolic resin was studied. FTIR and SEM investigations indicated that the SiC coating can be formed by carbothermal reduction of the sol-gel mixture at 1420°C for 15–20 min in an argon atmosphere. TGA of the coated fiber was als...
