With the increasing demand for sustainable and renewable energy sources, biodiesel has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional fossil fuels. This study presents novel approach enhancing Thevetia peruviana (TPB) yield from plant waste by optimizing process variables using Zinc sulfide (ZnS) catalyst. Co-precipitation was utilized synthesize ZnS nanoparticles, followed comprehensive characterization SEM, XRD, EDAX, FTIR. Response surface methodology employed determine optimal values parameters, specifically catalyst concentration (CC), oil-to-alcohol ratio (OAR), temperature (PT). The results demonstrate that nanoparticle can be effectively reused over five successive cycles without significant loss of catalytic activity. condition identified CC 107.7 ppm, OAR 8.9:1, PT 94.6 °C, yielding TPB 92.5 %, which validated through confirmation experiments. nanocatalyst exhibited 3.6 % increase compared typical chemical ANOVA revealed had 43.9 influence on yield, while influences 33.2 22.9 respectively. Elemental analysis indicated 10.9 times higher oxygen diesel fuel, with GC-MS identifying linoleic acid predominant component. elemental, FTIR, GC-MS, physicochemical were found comparable standard. assessment suggests potential serve viable fuel.

In the era of global energy crises and pressing concern fossil fuel depletion, quest for sustainable alternatives has become paramount. The current study aims to optimize biodiesel extraction from a combination waste cooking oil (WCO) sesame seed (SSO) through response surface methodology (RSM) artificial neural network (ANN). cold flow properties produced WCO are major obstacle commercial use biodiesel. On other hand, SSO possesses better oxidation stability properties. A mixture (i.e. 70 % by volume) 30 been prepared production via microwave-assisted transesterification process. For yield optimization, interaction among operating parameters is developed RSM, whereas predicted ANN. include reaction speed, RPM (100-600 rpm), time (1-5 min), methanol ratio (8:1-12:1 v/v), catalyst concentration (0.1-2 w/w). highest 94 found at speed 350 rpm, 3 min, 1.05 w/w, 10:1. Furthermore, it discovered that when estimating rate depending on constraints, ANN shows lower comparative error compared RSM. results show outperforms RSM in terms percentage improvement comes prediction.

Abstract The quest for sustainable agricultural practices has led to a surge in research focused on innovative wastewater treatment methods. This review explores the emerging biological approaches designed address challenges of eco-friendly and subsequent reuse. investigation centers around three novel techniques: constructed wetlands, algae-based systems, microbial fuel cells. Constructed wetlands (CWs) mimic natural processes treat wastewater, providing habitat various plant species that collaboratively remove contaminants. Algae-based systems(ABs) harness photosynthetic prowess algae absorb nutrients pollutants, producing biomass can be repurposed. Meanwhile, cells (MFCs) employ microorganisms break down organic matter while generating electricity as valuable byproduct. aims provide insights into potential these methods revolutionize management agriculture. By mitigating environmental impact, conserving water resources, yielding reusable outputs, techniques will offer pathway towards addressing pressing enhancing overall ecological balance.

Amidst escalating global water scarcity challenges, addressing industrial and agricultural wastewater treatment has emerged as a critical concern within environmental conservation efforts. Wastewater desalination technology not only mitigates salt pollution’s impact on ecosystems but also facilitates sustainable resource management with significant economic ecological advantages. This study delves into fundamental principles, methodologies, application prospects in by conducting comprehensive assessment encompassing physical, chemical, biological approaches while scrutinizing their practical applicability through analysis of respective merits drawbacks. Furthermore, this illuminates specific operational impacts associated diverse desalinization techniques employed or contexts based prior research findings. The findings underscore that judicious selection suitable methods along optimization parameters are pivotal factors influencing improved rates desalinization. Finally, paper proposes future directions focuses for to provide reference related fields.
