Ethanol production from sweet sorghum
(North-West University, 2012)The use of fossil fuels contributes to global warming and there is a consequent need to resort to clean and renewable fuels. The major concerns with using agricultural crops for the production of energy are food and water ... -
Fermentation coupled with pervaporation : a kinetic study
(North-West University, 2011)Ethanol production through biomass fermentation is one of the major technologies available to produce liquid fuel from renewable energy sources. A major problem associated with the production of ethanol through fermentation ... -
Kinetics of the photocatalytic reduction of platinum (IV) in a batch and flow reactor
(North-West University, 2012)Semiconductor photocatalysis has received considerable attention in recent years as an alternative for treating water polluted with hazardous organic chemicals. The process, as a means of removal of persistent water ... -
Production of ethanol from tropical sugar beet
(North-West University, 2010)The concern over depleting fossil fuel resources and increasing greenhouse gas emissions has prompted the research into alternative and renewable energy resources. Bioethanol is seen as a potential alternative to petroleum ... -
Synthesis, characterization and thermophysical properties of ionic liquid N-methyl-N-(2′,3′-epoxypropyl)-2-oxopyrrolidinium chloride and its binary mixtures with water or ethanol at different temperatures
(Elsevier, 2016)A novel ionic liquid, namely, N-methyl-N-(2′,3′-epoxypropyl)-2-oxopyrrolidiniumchloride [Epmpyr]+[Cl]− was synthesized and characterized by different techniques such as NMR (1H and 13C), FTIR, and elemental analysis. The ... -
To blend or not to blend? Consumer attitudes towards mandatory use of ethanol-blended fuel in Zimbabwe
(AOSIS, 2017)Worldwide, the use of bioethanol is proliferating as an alternative to fossil fuels. Consistent with this trend, the Zimbabwean government mandated the blending of unleaded petrol with 10% ethanol. As the use of ethanol-blended ...
