Performance Comparison Of Multifunctional Reactors For Biodiesel Production From Transesterification Of Palm Oil, Tanutporn Laosuttiwong Jan 2017

Performance Comparison Of Multifunctional Reactors For Biodiesel Production From Transesterification Of Palm Oil, Tanutporn Laosuttiwong

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Biodiesel is classified as a qualified alternative energy that can be used for diesel engine. It is produced via transesterification of vegetable oil with alcohol in presence of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalyst. However, oil and alcohol are not totally miscible leading to slow reaction rate. Multifunctional reactors, especially cavitational reactors, are proposed to overcome this issue. The cavitational reactors include ultrasonic reactor and homogenizer reactor. In this work, ultrasonic reactor, homogenizer reactor and conventional magnetic stirred reactor were used to investigate and compare biodiesel yield and the efficiency in terms of biodiesel yield based on the energy consumption at different …


Effect Of Operating Variables Of Corona Discharge Reactor Onbenzene Removal Efficiency, Thanunwut Thanahirunthitichote Jan 2017

Effect Of Operating Variables Of Corona Discharge Reactor Onbenzene Removal Efficiency, Thanunwut Thanahirunthitichote

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Volatile organic compound (VOC) has been known as one of air pollutants generated by the fast growth of industry and social development. There were many kind of VOC which is harmful for humans and environments. All concerned organization requested controlling of these problems. As a result, there were many technologies developed for handling and degrading such VOC. Among these technologies, corona discharge reactor has been known as a promising means because of its effectiveness and compactness. In this work, benzene was selected as a model VOC pollutant. Performance of multi-channeled corona discharge reactor for removal of benzene was experimentally examined …
