Synergistic effect of silica and pure palm oil on the machining performances of Inconel 690: A study for promoting minimum quantity nano doped-green lubricants

Nanofluid based lubricants have immense acceptability in sustainable and eco-friendly machining of superalloys – this is due to their superior heat transfer ability. Extreme demands for sustainable manufacturing compelled the manufacturers to avail synergistic benefits with higher machinability and lower carbon footprint on the environment. For that purpose, the performance of an indigenously developed minimum quantity nano-green lubricant is investigated in milling of Inconel 690. Accordingly, nano-silica (vol% varying from 0.5 to 1.5%) was reinforced into palm oil and sprayed into the tool-chip interface through minimum quantity lubrication set up. The milling operations were executed under five different lubricating mediums: dry, minimum quantity palm oil, 0.5% silica deposited palm oil, 1% silica deposited palm oil, and 1.5% silica deposited palm oil. Comparative tool life, surface roughness, resultant cutting force, and cutting temperature were assessed. Subsequently, SEM and EDX images were analyzed to confirm the governing tool wear mechanisms. Experimental data shows that 1% silica deposited palm oil medium performs better concerning all machining responses. Furthermore, a multi-objective response surface methodology (MORSM) confirmed that speed of 88.18 m/min, feed of 0.11 mm/tooth, depth of cut of 0.50 mm, and 1%-MQNGL based lubricating condition are the optimal design parameters to achieve sustainable working environment.

Variation of Physical and Chemical Properties of Soils under Different Cropping Systems in the Watershed of Kpocomey, Southern Benin

Soils degradation is one of the constraints in food security achievement in Benin. This study aimed at assessing the effect of cropping systems and slope on soil physical and chemical properties in the watershed of Kpacomey located in the Aplahoue district. Soil samples were collected from three parallel transects along the slope. Sampling was carried out under different treatments combining cropping systems (Maize-Cassava, pure Palm grove, Palm grove-Maize-Cassava and Teak Plantation) along with slope levels (low slope, medium slope and high slope degree). The impact of cropping systems and slope on soil properties was assessed by determining the physical and chemical parameters. The cropping systems significantly (p 3) was recorded under the Palm grove-Maize-Cassava cropping system while the highest (1.47 g/cm3) was obtained with pure Palm grove cropping system. Root biomass was more abundant (0.28%) with the pure Palm grove cropping system. However, root biomass was significantly (p 0.05) on the effect of cropping systems and slope. Moreover, cropping systems resulted in significant effects (p < 0.05). Soil organic matter and soil-assimilated phosphorus content were significantly influenced by the effect of the slope. These findings indicated that cropping systems and slope are significant drivers in soil degradation in the Kpacomey watershed and bringing out cropping systems that best aim at soil conservation.

ANALYSIS OF PALM OIL AS OIL ADULTERANT IN OLIVE AND PUMPKIN SEED OILS IN TERNARY MIXTURE SYSTEMS USING FTIR SPECTROSCOPY AND CHEMOMETRICS

Objective: The study was designed to develop Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in conjunction with chemometrics techniques of multivariate calibration and discriminant analysis (DA) for analysis of palm oil in a ternary mixture with EVOO and PSO.&#x0D; Methods: FTIR spectra of pure palm oil (PO), extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), pumpkin seed oil (PSO) and its ternary mixtures randomly prepared were scanned using FTIR spectrophotometer at wavenumbers of 4000-650 cm-1 corresponding to mid-infrared region, with resolution of 8 cm-1 and 32 scanning using sampling technique of attenuated total reflectance (ATR). Two calibrations in multivariate models, namely principle component (PCR) and partial least square (PLS) regressions were used to facilitate quantification of PO.&#x0D; Results: The PLS using first derivative FTIR–ATR spectra at 3100-2750 combined with 1500-663 cm-1 showed the best prediction models for quantification of PO in ternary mixtures with EVOO and PSO. Using this condition, correlation coefficient (R) values for the relationship between actual values and FTIR predicted values of 0.9967 and 0.9906 were achieved in calibration and validation models, respectively. The errors in calibration and prediction models, expressed by RMSEC and RMSEP, were low, i.e. 0.0080% and 0.0152%, respectively. DA using absorbance values at the same wavenumbers also offered the optimum discrimination model for discrimination between PO and PO mixed with EVOO and PSO in ternary mixtures.&#x0D; Conclusion: This result concluded that FTIR spectra in conjunction with DA (for classification) and PLS (for quantification) is fast and accurate tools during the analysis of PO as oil adulterant in EVOO and PSO.

Study of Biodiesel Fuel with Palm Oil and Hydrogen Peroxide Additives

Palm oil is comparable to traditional diesel fuel in terms of calorifi c value, stoichiometric ratio, and cetane number. However, its increased kinematic viscosity and pour point make it diffi cult to use in pure form in diesel engines. (Research purpose) To study specifi c features of burning: diesel fuel with various additives of palm oil (biodiesel fuel); pure 100-percent palm oil; biodiesel fuel with various additives of palm oil and hydrogen peroxide, as well as to develop a method to control its combustion process. (Materials and methods) To determine the ignition time lag, the authors chose a method of kinetic modeling of self-ignition of biodiesel fuel in the air. The self-ignition process was simulated using the Chemical Workbench software package. An adiabatic calorimetric bomb model was used to perform calculations. To describe the process of self-ignition, a universal kinetic mechanism was used, which was verifi ed to calculate self-ignition of diesel and biodiesel fuel surrogates, as well as the formation of toxic substances and soot in the combustion processes. (Results and discussion) It is shown that adding palm oil to diesel fuel increases its ignition time lag, especially at low and medium temperatures of 750-950 kelvin. It was determined that with addition of 10 percent palm oil, the ignition time lag of biodiesel fuel is almost the same as that of diesel fuel no more than 5 percent. Increasing the amount of palm oil additive up to 30 percent and more signifi cantly increases the ignition time lag of the fuel. When using only palm oil as a fuel, the ignition time lag in the temperature range of 800-950 kelvin increases in two times. The study determined the optimal amount of hydrogen peroxide to be used for each composition of biodiesel fuel with various additives of palm oil. (Conclusions) It is shown that additives of hydrogen peroxide can infl uence the reactivity of biodiesel fuel and thereby regulate its ignition time lag.

Influence of Al2O3 and palm oil–mixed nano-fluid on machining performances of Inconel-690: IF-THEN rules–based FIS model in eco-benign milling

With the increased prerequisites for ecological protection, the vegetable oil and nano-fluid-based minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technology have become a modern research trend. For instance, the palm oil exhibits superior lubricity owing to fatty acid and film-developing characteristics of the carboxyl group. Conversely, due to unique physiochemical properties of Al2O3 nano-particles, they exhibit superior lubricity during machining operations. Thus, here, it was attempted to discover the benefits of Al2O3 and palm oil–mixed nano-fluid in MQL-assisted milling of Inconel 690 for eco-benign and cleaner manufacturing. During the experiment, different concentrations (0.5–5%) of Al2O3 nano-particles were mixed with palm oil. Afterward, the performances were evaluated with respect to the surface roughness, specific cutting energy, tool wear, and cutting temperature. From an economic perspective, the determination of ideal concentration (%) of the Al2O3 nano-particle is a crucial concern. Thus, a fuzzy interference system (FIS)–based model has been developed to obtain the optimum concentration (%) of Al2O3 nano-particle. The multi-performance characteristics index (MPCI) values confirmed that 2.5% was the optimum concentration for Al2O3 in MQL milling environment. Afterward, the machining performances obtained from 2.5% Al2O3 particle concentration have been compared with dry, flood, and pure palm oil condition. It is clearly found from the comparison that MQL milling with 2.5% Al2O3 nano-particle concentration demonstrated much better machining behavior than another lubricating medium.

EVALUASI KUALITAS MUTU MINYAK GORENG MENGGUNAKAN POLARISATOR TERPADU BERDASARKAN METODE FLUORESENSI ELEKTROOPTIK

Evaluation of quality of cooking oil using integrated polarizer based on fluorescence polarization method has been carried out. Integrated polarizer used a green laser with a wavelength of 532 ± 10 nm. Measurements were made by observing changes in fluorescence polarization angles that occurs when without an external electric field and with the provision of an external electric field produced from two copper plates given a voltage of 0-6 kV. The samples used were new cooking oil and expired cooking oil, palm cooking oil that has been contaminated by chicken oil and lard. The test results show that the change in polarization angle on cooking oil expires is greater than the new cooking oil, as well as changes in the polarization angle in palm cooking oil that has been contaminated by lard is greater than pure palm cooking oil and palm cooking oil. This indicates that the saturated fatty acid content in lard is greater than that of pure palm cooking oil and chicken oil. With these results, the fluorescence polarization method is expected to be a method for evaluating halal cooking oil.

Quality profile determination of palm olein: potential markers for the detection of recycled cooking oils

ABSTRACT In this study, the safety and quality of commercial cooking oils were evaluated. The emphasis of this evaluation was on the presence of oxidation and polymerization products in fresh oils, although the analyses were often conducted on used frying fats and oils. This was because polymerized triacylglycerols (PTGs) and monomeric oxidized triacylglycerols (oxTAGs) have been proposed as potential indicators of the adulteration of palm olein. The oil quality was evaluated based on PTG content, the presence of epoxy, keto, and hydroxy acids, fatty acid composition, and smoke point. Principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted to identify the relationships among the analytical parameters. The total polar compound content of all fresh oil samples was within the safety limit for human consumption (< 25% polar compounds). TAG oligomers or epoxy, keto, or hydroxy acids were not detected in any of the fresh oil samples. Most of the packet oils had lower smoke point (< 200 °C) and linoleic acid content than the bottled oils. The pure palm olein samples were found to be better in terms of overall oil quality, as indicated by the PCA biplots of all analytical parameters.

UJI PRESTASI DAN EMISI DIESEL BERBAHAN BAKAR MINYAK NABATI MURNI UNTUK PEMBANGKITAN DAYA DI DAERAH TERPENCIL

Pure Plant Oil (PPO) such as Pure Coconut Oil (PCO) and Pure Palm Oil (PPaO) could be a solution for electricity problem in remote areas in Indonesia. PCO and PPaO can be used as a fuel for diesel engine to produce electricity. This paper will compare and analyze the performance and emissions of the diesel power plant fueled with diesel fuel, PCO, and PPaO. For performance parameter, brake specific fuel consumption and thermal efficiency of diesel engine by using PPaO and PCO are higher than the diesel fuel, but the brake specific energy consumption are lower than the diesel fuel. That means diesel engine will be more efficient and have lower operational cost by using PPaO and PCO. For the emission parameters, CO2, CO, and CH emissions from PPaO and PCO are higher compared to diesel fuel. That means PPO have higher carbon emission than just using conventional diesel fuel. But, there are highly significant difference of less NOX emissions by using PCO and PPaO compared to the diesel fuel. That means it will be better using PPO because diesel engine has lack of high NOX emissions. These differences of diesel engine performance and emissions by PPaO, PCO, and diesel fuel are caused by the fuel characteristic differences such as cetane number, calorific value, and viscosity.

Properties of Co-Pyrolysed Palm Kernel Shell and Plastic Grocery Bag with CaO as Catalyst

This study aims to improve quality of pyrolytic oil by co-pyrolysis of palm kernel shell and grocery bag plastic waste with additional CaO as a natural catalyst. Palm Kernel shell was mixed with LDPE grocery bag in the ratio of 1:1 and additional CaO was presented in various weights. The pyrolysis of pure Palm Kernel shell and LDPE grocery bag their self were also observed. The raw material mixture then was heated in the fixed bed pyrolyzer in various temperatures, namely 400 to 500 °C. The obtained pyrolytic oil was analyzed to determine its physical and chemical properties such as density, viscosity, acidity, caloric value and its chemical composition. The results revealed that the increasing pyrolysis temperature affected the increasing of pyrolytic oil yield, from 25.3 % to 48.3 %, with reducing of uncondensable gas yield, from 44.8 % to 25.0 %. The various temperatures also affected the physical and chemical properties. The density increased with the increasing of pyrolysis temperature, however, the pH and caloric value decreased due to the increasing of oxygenated compounds. The pyrolytic oil viscosities were various from 1.4 to 156.4 cP at 60 °C.

Prediction of Lard in Palm Olein Oil Using Simple Linear Regression (SLR), Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), and Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) Based on Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR)

Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) offers the advantages of rapid analysis with minimal sample preparation. FTIR in combination with multivariate approach, particularly partial least squares regression (PLSR), has been widely used for adulterant analysis. Limited study has been done to compare PLSR with other regression strategies. In this paper, we apply simple linear regression (SLR), multiple linear regression (MLR), and PLSR for prediction of lard in palm olein oil. Pure palm olein oil was adulterated with lard at different concentrations and subjected to analysis with FTIR. The marker bands distinguishing lard and palm olein oil were determined using Fisher’s weights. The marker regions were then subjected to regression analysis with the models verified based on 100 training/test sets. The prediction performance was measured based on the percentage root mean square error (%RMSE). The absorption bands at 3006 cm−1, 2852 cm−1, 1117 cm−1, 1236 cm−1, and 1159 cm−1 were identified as the marker bands. The bands at 3006 and 1117 cm−1 were found with satisfactory predictive ability, with PLSR demonstrating better prediction yielding %RMSE of 16.03 and 13.26%, respectively.

Synthesis of stable waste palm oil based CuO nanofluid for heat transfer applications

This article aims at preparation of novel copper oxide nanofluid using waste palm oil as a base solvent without using any surfactants/stabilizers for its suitability in heat transfer applications. Copper oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using co-precipitation technique and were subjected to structural and morphological studies using X-ray diffraction and Transmission Electron Microscope. UV-vis and FTIR studies were conducted to confirm the formation CuO nanoparticles and adsorption of oleic acid groups on the surface of CuO nanoparticles. These nanoparticles were dispersed in waste palm oil at different concentrations (0.1% – 0.9% wt.) using ultrasonication, resulting in stable solution. CuO nanofluids were observed to be stable for at least 6 months without any sign of aggregation. The synthesized CuO nanofluid was found to exhibit enhanced thermal properties as compared to base fluid. The thermal conductivity of nanofluid (0.7% by wt. of nanoparticle) shows maximum enhancement (upto 190%) as compared to pure palm oil. Thus, it can be considered as a suitable candidate for many heat transfer applications.

PERUBAHAN SUDUT POLARISASI ALAMI DAN ELEKTROOPTIS MINYAK SAWIT YANG DICAMPUR BERBAGAI MINYAK HEWANI

Palm oil-based cooking oil is the most widely used cooking oil. Palm oil circulating in the market is often mixed with animal oil by culinary entrepreneurs with a view to produce a more tasty taste so it needs to be examined purity. Research on the content of saturated fatty acids using gas chromatography mass spectrophotometer (GCMS) requires quite expensive cost so that an alternative method is needed to determine the quality of cooking oil; especially its purity is by using polarization both naturally and by electrooptic method. This research uses incandescent lamp as light source. Samples flanked by parallel metal plates are placed between polarizers and analyzers. Samples of a mixture of palm oil with each animal oil (chicken oil, pork oil, cow oil). The samples of each oil are tested byu using natural polarization (active polarization) and electro-polarization polarization (impact polarization). The results showed that the polarization angle change in the oil of the mixture was greater than that of pure palm oil with the greatest angular change produced by a mixture of palm oil and cow oil (1.5 for natural polarization and 3 for electro-polarization). This result was in accordance with the result of the titration test shows that mixed oils have free fatty acids and PV peroxide numbers higher than pure palm oil. The cow's oil mix is the greatest change compared to pigs and chickens. This result shows that cow's oil has the highest saturated fatty acid content. Electrooptical polarization angle larger than natural polarization. This is due to the interaction of the electric field of the light source with the electric field of the molecule induced by the electric field of the power supply. The polarization method successfully distinguishes the type of pure and mixed cooking oil.

Evaluasi Cemaran Lemak Babi Pada Minyak Goreng Sawit Menggunakan Metode Polarisasi Transmisi

This research was conducted for evaluation of contamination of pig fat on vegetable cooking oil using transmission polarization method. The sample used is palm oil that has been contaminated with chicken oil and pork oil, with variations of chicken oil and pork oil content. The light source used is a green laser with a wavelength of 532 ± 10 nm. Measurements are made by observing the change in the transmission polarization angle that occurs when no external electric field is provided and by external electric field generated from two copper plates given a voltage of 0-6 kV. Test results show that palm oil contaminated with pig oil has the greatest change in polarization angle compared to pure palm oil and palm oil that has been contaminated with chicken oil. This is because the content of saturated fatty acids in pig oil is greater than pure palm oil and chicken oil. With these results, the transmission polarization method is expected to become a method for the evaluation of halal of cooking oil.Keywords: Transmission Polarization, Electrooptics, Cooking Oil, Impurities of Lard, Halal

Evaluation of the Stability of Polymeric Materials Exposed to Palm Biodiesel and Biodiesel⁻Organic Acid Blends.

The aim of the present work is to evaluate the impact of pure palm biodiesel fuel (B100) and biodiesel blends with 0.32% oleic, palmitic, acetic, myristic, and stearic acids on the properties of some polymeric materials used commonly in the manufacture of auto parts such as the polyamide 66 (PA66), polyoxymethylene (POM), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The effects of the B100 and B100–acid blends on polymeric materials were examined by comparing changes in the gain/loss of mass and by measuring the hardness, the impact strength, and the tensile strength of the materials at the end of the exposure. The characterization of the polymers was carried out before and after exposure by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). After the immersion in B100–acids blends, the HDPE exhibited an increase in mass of 5%, which was very similar in all blends. The PA66 showed a small decrease in weight (2% approx.) in all mixtures. The POM presented an increase in the percentage of weight in the mixture of B100 with acetic acid of 0.3%. A decrease was observed in the crystallinity of the HDPE when exposed to blends of B100–acids. This behavior may be associated with a plasticizing effect in the HDPE exposed to the blends. The mechanical properties of POM and HDPE showed no significant changes after immersion in the fuels. On the other hand, PA66 exhibited a significant decrease in maximum stress value after immersion in B100, B100–oleic acid and B100–palmitic acid blends. The variation of the mechanical properties of the PA66 after exposure to B100 was potentiated by addition of organic acids. The assessed polymers did not undergo appreciable changes in the chemical structure of the samples after immersion in the fuels, so the variation in the mechanical properties could be explained by physical absorption of the fuel into the polymers.

The content of saturated fatty acids in lard is greater than pure palm oil resulting in a greater change in transmission polarization angles from the results showed that integrated polarizer can be used for detection of lard impurities in cooking oil

Processing Characteristics of Vegetable Oil-based Nanofluid MQL for Grinding Different Workpiece Materials

Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is an efficient, green, and eco-friendly method of applying cutting fluids in machining processes. This study presents the processing characteristics of different vegetable oil-based nanofluid MQL for grinding various workpiece materials. The performance of three lubricant types (i.e., pure palm oil, MoS2 nanofluid, and Al2O3 nanofluid) of good lubrication performance and three types of materials (i.e., Inconel 718, ductile cast iron, and AISI 1045 steel) was evaluated in terms of force ratio, specific grinding energy, and G ratio. The optimal processing combination of lubricants and workpiece materials under the same experimental conditions was obtained using orthogonal experiment. Optimization results were verified by evaluating the morphology of the workpiece surface and grinding debris. Experimental results show the different processing characteristics of materials when various workpieces are processed using dissimilar MQL lubricants. MoS2 nanofluid MQL is suitable for machining soft medium carbon steels, such as 45 steel, while Al2O3 nanofluid is suitable for machining materials of high strength and hardness, such as nickel-based alloys.

TRIBOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE OF PALM KERNEL OIL WITH ADDITION OF POUR POINT DEPRESSANTS AS A LUBRICANT USING FOUR-BALL TRIBOTESTER UNDER VARIABLE LOAD TEST

The growing of worldwide trend for promoting the use of the renewable material such as vegetable oil is due to the increasing concern about environmental damage that caused by the use of mineral oil which is not biodegradable. Vegetable oil has a potential to replace mineral oil as a lubricant because of its specific properties that is non-toxic and biodegradable. The main problem in using vegetable oil is having poor low temperature performance. In this research palm kernel oil (PKO) that behave a semi solid phase is used as a bio lubricant mixing with different weightage percentage of poor point depressant (PPD) to investigate the low temperature behaviour performance and also to determine the effect of lubricity performance when blended with different percentage of PPD (5w%, 10wt%, 20wt% and 30wt %). The experiment is according to ASTM D4172 with variation load test. The result of the experiment show that for low temperature performance, PKO with 20wt%PPD (A2-20%) and 30wt%PPD (A2-30%) show great performance which can withstand 15℃. The sample A2-20% shows good lubricity performance in terms of coefficient of friction compare to the other sample. The lubricity performance in terms of wear scar diameter (WSD) it can see that the different percentage PPD do not affect the WSD properties of the pure palm kernel oil. The most consistent and the desired value of the sample in terms of surface roughness is A2-5% and A2-10% where the surface roughness value is stable through the entire load test.

Exhaust Emission Reduction from Compression Ignition Engine by Using Palm Biodiesel Blended with Nano Zinc Oxide Additive

Biofuel modifications play a major role in a substitution for fossil fuel to be used in diesel engines and reducing exhaust emission. The most amounts of crude palm oil produced from Asian region can be an alternative fuel, sustainably. By the modifying crude palm oil into pure palm oil biodiesel (POB100), alkali trans-esterification procedure was operated. In the present, the high-quality POB products have been investigated considerably for alternative fuel in 4-cylinders high-speed diesel engine. The aim of this paper is to study in the improvement of POB quality by repeated-distillation and blending POB with nanoZnO additive. The high-speed engine combustion from consuming blended POB fuel were investigated the influences of exhaust emission under speed engine operation of 2,000 rpm and 3,000 rpm. The experimental results were shown that the POB fuel yielded at 84.54% from using 400 g. of raw materials. Both of redistilled POB and POB blended with nanoZnO additive showed the improvement of physical properties including viscosity, specific gravity and cetane number values being under ASTM standard values for high-speed engine. In addition, the results of exhaust emission from the engine showed the effective decrease of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) around 13% due to using redistilled POB and POB blended nanoZnO additive compared with diesel fuel. Unburned hydrocarbon (HC) and nitric oxide (NOx) emissions of the diesel fuel condition. Therefore, this study suggests that nanoZnO blending POB in the small fraction about 0.005 wt% is able to provide the high potentiality for as a clean and alternative fuel.
