Past, Present, And Future Of Waste Cooking Oil (Beyond Biofuel), Jihyun Kim Jan 2019

Past, Present, And Future Of Waste Cooking Oil (Beyond Biofuel), Jihyun Kim

Open Educational Resources

In this project, students in “General Chemistry” will explore the development of a facile, eco-friendly, and simple preparation method of fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) from a mixture of waste cooking oil and orange waste peels. Orange waste peels are one of the most underutilized bio-waste residues on earth, therefore, it would make better sense to utilize a mixture of the two wastes.
