PRODUCTION OF BIODIESEL FROM WASTE VEGETABLE OIL USING EGGSHELL BASED CATALYST

  CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION  Biodiesel has tremendously gained popularity because it is a renewable and environmentally friendly fuel. It is a major key component in the motor diesel engines today because of their attractive features. It represents a largely closed carbon dioxide cycle (approximately 78%), as it is derived from renewable biomass sources. Compared

PRODUCTION OF WOOD ADHESIVE

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Wood adhesive is an anisotropic and porous material with many inherited anatomical features. Major features are longitudinal tracheids in softwood species, and vessel elements and longitudinal fibers in hardwood species. The lumens of their cells are large enough to provide a good pathway for how of liquid resin. Interconnecting pits are often
