Optimization of used cottonseed oil methyl ester production using response surface methodology by ABDULLATEEF JIMOH

“…It includes mixing methanol with raw UCSO in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts such as a blend of calcined, hydrated, and dehydrated eggshells and coconut shells that makes up the CaO. Alkali-based transesterification was discovered to be the most appropriate technology to extract the biodiesel, hence the UCSO has been chosen for the current investigation. …”

Self-Induced Crystalline Morphology at the Mineral–Fluid Interface: Silica–Carbonate Biomorphs of Alkaline Earth Metals as a Case Study by Mayra Cuéllar-Cruz, Erick Alfredo Zúñiga-Estrada, Marcelino Antonio Zúñiga-Estrada, Selene R. Islas, Abel Moreno

“…These minerals or even volcanic glasses rich in silica, such as obsidians (a naturally volcanic glass, which is in fact an igneous rock), play an important role as supporting materials for obtaining the silico-carbonates of alkaline earth metals (usually called biomorphs). This is because, in most radiolarians, diatoms, and foraminifera, their external shells are made up of silica (SiO₂). …”
