Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) Introduction Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula KOH‚ commonly called caustic potash. Along with sodium hydroxide (NaOH)‚ this colorless solid is a prototypical strong base. It has many industrial and niche applications. Most applications exploit its reactivity toward acids and its corrosive nature. In 2005‚ an estimated 700‚000 to 800‚000 tonnes were produced. Approximately 100 times more NaOH than KOH is produced annually. KOH is noteworthy

Palsch 1 Don Palsch Professor Sundvall ENC1101 28 of September 2013 Alternative Energy vs. Fossil Fuels There are many alternatives that can effectively replace fossil fuels. Even though the United States is still dependent on fossil fuels; we have been working vigorously toward alternative energy. In the future the goal is to be completely independent from fossil fuels. Alternative energy has many different kinds of sources such as biofuels‚ hydrogen‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and nuclear

The Alternative Fuel types that align with unleaded and diesel fuel primarily used in rental car company fleets are E85 and Biodiesel. The types Alternative Fuel most widely used are E85 and Biodiesel and readily available throughout the United States. Another type of AFV/FFV is hybrids vehicles. Hybrids have a gasoline or diesel

The two main types of biofuels are known as ethanol and biodiesel; both made from feedstock and are expected to largely reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. Yet‚ are biofuels really a viable alternative to solar energy with this fight against global warming increasing? Biofuels‚ although thought to

MAHUA OIL Mahua Oil (MO Oil) is an underutilized non-edible vegetable oil‚ which is available in large quantities in India. The fuel properties of the MO Oil biodiesel were found to be within the limits of biodiesel specifications of many countries. Fuel properties of diesel‚ mahua oil and blends are comparable. The calorific value of mahua oil was found as 96.30% on volume basis of diesel. It was found that mahua could be easily substituted up to 20% in diesel without any significant difference

Firstly‚ governments need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and promote alternatives. Plant-derived plastics‚ biodiesel‚ wind power and solar power are all things that are a step in the right direction‚ but governments need to enforce the limits on CO2 emissions for the polluting industries in their countries for these to be effective.
