Review Related Literature of Yellow Bell Seeds Cruse Extract as Fuel
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

During the past decade, almost all of the energy studies were on important alternatives such as oil, coal, solar, nuclear, etc. It is for this reason that environmentalists are entrusted to examine a very wide range of human needs towards indigenous resources that would ‘somehow assist in our nation’s falling supply of energy. Various organic oils and fats are essential constituents of all forms of plants and animals. However, only relatively few plants and animals produce fats and oils in sufficient quantity. The most important oil, therefore, are those that can be readily attained in commercial quantities from available raw materials. Organic oils are triglycerides or esters of fatty acids. They are chemical combinations of one molecule of glycerol with three molecules of fatty acids. When processed with caustic alkalis, they form soaps that are salts of fatty acids and glycerol, which is tryhydric alcohol. Yellow bell is a shrub with small, elongated branches and narrow alternate leaves. The plant requires direct sunlight. Quisumbing (1978) mentioned, that the the vetin seeds yield a fixed oil that contains triolein (63 percent), tripalmitin and stearin (37 percent).
In regulated doses, the decocted bark is employed as emetic and febrifuge, being said to be effective in intermittent fevers. The bark is also antiperiodic in small doses, and the leaves are used as a cathartic. Liquid fuel is important for power generation. It is fuel oil. It is classified according to its properties, e.g., flash point, pour point, percent-age of water and sediment, carbon residue, ash distillation temperature, and viscosity. When processed with simple methods, the utilization of the yellow bell seeds will yield oil that shows the same chemical properties of fuel.

    2.0 Chemical BackgroundBiodiesel comprises long-chain fatty acids with an alcohol attached on it and produced through the reaction of a vegetable oil with alcohol in the presence of the catalyst, such as potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide called transesterification (Hafman, 2003). The catalyst used to hydrolysis the triglyceride, and alcohols combine with the fatty acid to produce biodiesel (Gorham, 2006). After a complete reaction, the glycerol and ester form two liquid layers and catalyst is removed for reuse.…

    Fats and oils (lipids) are hydrophobic organic compounds, which are formed as a result of triesters of glycerol and three fatty acid chains (carboxylic-acids). These undergo a condensation reaction to form a triglyceride-molecule and the by-product, three molecules of water [1]. The general structure of triglyceride can be presented below:…

    Abstract The structure of a major component of star anise oil was derived by analyzing its IR spectroscopy melting point of after oxidation and purification. From the evidence obtained, it was concluded that the exact structured should be p-methoxybenzoic acid. Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the structure of the major component of star anise oil. It is already known that this component has a molecular formula C10H12O. This molecular formula equates to an IHD of 5. It is evident, by calculating the IHD, that this compound contains a benzene ring. By heating anisene with hydroiodic acid the following reaction occurs: [rxn 1] The resultant of a phenol indicates that anisene is, in fact, an aryl methyl ether with the formula C9H9OCH3. Since all these facts have been established about the structure of anisene, what is to be determined from this experiment is the structure of the unsaturated side chain and its location. In order to do this, anisene will first be oxidized with KMNO4 so as to then identify the oxidation product and establish the positioning of the side chain. The reaction is as follows: Finally purification of the structure of the unknown oxidized component, its structure shall be determined by obtaining the melting point and by means of IR spectroscopy of the original substance. Experimental The experiment was carried out following the procedure described in Experiment 24 of the assigned lab book (Lehman 188-195) with some deviation: When it was time to use the condenser the first time around, the tubes for the water to circulate were not attached, causing the solvent to evaporate. Consequently, more solvent had to be added and the experiment continued normally. Calculations The weight of the total final product is equal to the weight of the watch glass and the final product minus the weight of the watch glass. Wt of Final product = (wt of watch glass and product)-(wt…

    The purpose of this experiment was to compare biodiesel to other fuels. The ecotoxicity of biodiesel was estimated, along with that of other biofuels through the germination of seeds in the presence of different concentrations of fuels. This resulted in biodiesel having an average of 79.4% germinated seeds in a 10% solution of fuel, compared to other fuels whose percentage of germinated seeds decreased with higher concentrations of fuel. In addition, biodiesel was also synthesized and its heat of combustion was found through the use of calorimetry. The heat capacity for the calorimeter was based on the heat of combustion for ethanol, which was then used to determine the heat of combustion for biodiesel. The average heat of combustion for biodiesel was ∆Hcomb= -13090.83 kJ/mole, as opposed to the theoretical value of -11496.6 kJ/mole, which resulted in a 13.9% difference. Furthermore, taking into consideration the ecotoxicity of biodiesel, its effect on the environment, and fuel efficiency, biodiesel proved to be the more favorable fuel relative to the other fuels tested. The goal of the experiment was to compare and determine the advantages of using biodiesel as a fuel as opposed to other fuels.…

    An Essential oil is the fluids from a plant in which it take on the odor and/or taste of the plant one extracts it from. Essential oils have been used through out history dating back to the bible, but had gone cold until 1928 when a French chemist by the name of Rene-Maurice Gattefosse had accidentally burned his hand severely while working. He plunged his hand into the nearest container which happened to be lavender oil instead of Water. To his surprise, his hand did not have any burn scars to be seen. This “ Re-discovery” has opened doors to thousands of uses of essential oils.…

    GC-MS analysis was carried out in order to determine the component of organic compounds in the bio-oil produced at the nearly optimum pyrolysis conditions (reaction temperature 500oC, heating rate 10oC min-1 and particle size of 0.4mm). Fig. 6 shows the percentage of bio-oil from A. mangium pyrolysis. The compounds detected (see fig.7) have been grouped according to their chemical nature (see Table 3). Around 40 compounds have been identified in the liquid fraction, consistent with the previously reported studies (Bhattacharjee, 2016; Chen et al., 2016; Qu et al., 2011; Shen et al., (In Press)). The highest peak areas of the chemical compound analyzed by GC-MS correspond to cyclopropyl carbinol; 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one; 1,2-benzenediol; phenol, 4-ethyl-2-methoxy; 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol. In general, chemical composition was similar to the poplar wood sawdust reported by Gu et al.…

    Fatty acid composition of the oil extracted from raw white sesame seeds (RWS) is shown in Table (4): The most abundantly found fatty acids were 18:2 (linoleic acid) being 45.68%, followed by 18:1 (oleic acid) 35.83%. Other fatty acids were found in considerable amount are 16:0 (Palmitic acid) 9.15% and 18:0 (stearic acid) 6.90% for RWS. The results obtained are in agreement with those of the literature Teco Finance Export (2005). Compared with the white Sudanese variety studied by Elleuch et al. (2007), oleic and linoleic acids contents were lower than the obtained results in linoleic but higher than in oleic. They reported 43 and 35%, respectively, these were in agreement with these results. Also, when…

    Sesame is an excellent rotation crop of cotton, maize, groundnut, wheat, and sorghum. It reduces nematode populations that attack cotton and groundnut. It is also an excellent soil builder- it improves the soil texture and moisture retention and lessens soil erosion: the composted sesame leaves left on the soil binds the ground; retains soil moisture better for planting the next crop; increases the yield of the following crop. Sesame is resistant to drought, tolerant to insect pests and diseases, a low cost crop and therefore one of the best alternative specialty crops.…
