FEASIBILITY STUDY ON MICROALGAL BIOFUEL PRODUCTION Joash Savaris Castro Abstract Oil price is a major issue globally as oil is a major requirement in almost all industries to operate. Another arising issue is the diminishing supply of fossil fuel or crude oil from major suppliers. With these in mind‚ researches for a potential alternative source of fuel are conducted all over the world. Microalgae is found to be a potential feedstock for the production of biofuel. Production of biofuel from

Purpose of the Experiment: The intention of the experiment is to use solvent extraction methods to separate a mixture containing a carboxylic acid and a neutral compound. Once recovered‚ the solids were purified by recrystallization and examined by thin-layer chromatography‚ and their identities were derived by melting point and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Extraction is a procedure that selectively dissolves one or more of the mixture compounds into a proper solvent. Extraction refers to

The word’s meaning became restricted to "spirit of wine" (the chemical known today as ethanol) in the 18th century and was extended to the class of substances so-called as "alcohols" in modern chemistry after 1850. The first alcohol (today known as ethyl alcohol) was discovered by the tenth-century Persian alchemist al-Razi. The current Arabic name for alcohol (ethanol) is “al-ġawl” – properly meaning "spirit" or "demon" – with the sense "the thing that gives the wine its headiness" (in the Qur’an sura

2a: Infrared Spectroscopy and Analgesic Drug Identification Abstract: To be able to understand how organic soluble compounds could be isolated from non-organic components‚ a chromatographic separation process was used. The objective of the analgesic drug identification is to isolate the organic compounds/ active ingredients in an unknown drug. The identity of the drug was determined through melting point‚ percent recover‚ and Rf values. The comparable data for acetaminophen from the manufacturer

Column and Thin Layer Chromatography: The Separation of Spinach Pigment Abstract Spinach extract was separated into fractions containing compounds of similar polarity by column chromatography. Based on solid-liquid phase partitioning‚ this separation technique exploited the different polarity of the compounds in the spinach extract. Three fractions with different colors were obtained. The extract and its fractions were analyzed using thin layer chromatography (TLC). The TLC results showed that
