Comparative Study on Production and Characterization of Bioethanol from Agricultural Waste MaterialsBy Olalekan Michael Adeloye, Afolayan Joel Tobi, Igbagara Princewill Woyinbrakemi
Abstract: Production and characterization of bioethanol from lignocellulosic substrates that include sugarcane bagasse, corn cob and cassava peels were investigated in this research study. The raw materials (sugarcane bagasse, corn cob and cassava peels) were sorted, washed, cleansed to remove dirts and dried to remove moisture contents, and crushed into ground form to increase substrate’s surface area of contacts and sieved through a mesh size of 2 mm. The bioethanol distillates …

Design of Batch Reactors for Pulping of Plantain PseudostemBy Olalekan Michael Adeloye, Igbagara Princewill Woyinbrakemi
Abstract: Plantain pseudostem has little application in Africa and constitute major domestic waste and often problematic to manage. It however contains a high content of lignocellulose that can be used for production of pulp. With the geometric decline of feedstock for pulp production due to dwindling wood resources, plantain pseudostem becomes a ready alternative. This study developed design models for batch reactor for the plantain pulping process under isothermal, non-isothermal and …

Application of Hengstebeck's Model in Multicomponent Crude Oil Distillation DesignBy Olalekan Michael Adeloye, Igbagara Princewill Woyinbrakemi, Akpa Jackson Gonurubon
Abstract: Mathematical models were developed for the analysis of the Atmospheric Crude Distillation Unit of Port Harcourt Refinery in Nigeria. The resultant system of equations was solved using the method of matrix inversion using Mathlab software and the models predicted with reasonable accuracy composition of side draws (different fractions) and temperatures. Also, the effect of process parameters on the overall performance of the unit was studied. In addition, the study applied …
