who might be as interested in integration of silica and ethanol technologies as I am. Did u know that there is CO2 subsidy as well? Once again TQ. Cheers Manickh -- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Keith Addison [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello again Manickh Hello Keith, Manickh is fine. No i did

Hello Keith, Manickh is fine. No i did not hear about that work at USM but I will forward it to a friend who might be interested in water removal from natural latex as an alternative to centrifugation. I seem to have a problem with diagrams always it is saved in separate folder which can

As regards the acrolein problem, could it be removed by firing with ethanol for a while and then switch back to glycerine. Or, alternatively using a mix of etanol/glycerine. this reasoning is purely based on solubility. I am just posting my thoughts here. I don't know about earthquakes cuz they

It is very hard to percieve-this concept of mixing enzymic proteins with petrol. They also will increase NOx emissions by their very nature. I am not sure about their combustion either. It is amazing really and it would be prudent to ask for detailed info on engine androad tests carried out

I have brewed ethanol at almost theoretical yields (Gay-Lussac), without using cultures, repeatedly in batch systems, and also distilled these batches into 90% spirit in a fractionating column, and thereafter into 200 proof ethanol using azeotropes. This was conducted mainly to demonstrate

Excuse me 4 my ignorance, but I remember reading in old journals that vegetable oils could be used directly as fuels in engines without much fouling. Is this not true for modern engines? why so much on trying to hydrolyse the FFA and glycerine? Malaysia still has not sold its biodiesel from
