Performance and Emission Analysis of Water HyacinthBiodiesel with TiO2 Nano-Additives Over Diesel Engine
Abstract: AbstractThis research work is related to performance and emissions analysis of diesel in combination with thewater hyacinth biodiesel with TiO2 as a nano-additive. This study also proposes water hyacinthbiodiesel (WHB) as a possible alternative energy source because the species is extensively dispersed infreshwater, marine, and aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Investigation is performed comparing TiO2nano-additive blended with water hyacinth biodiesel and diesel at various engine loads. WHB wasmixed with petroleum diesel fuel …

Lead (II) Ion Biosorption from Aqueous Solution ontoHexadecyltriammonium Bromide (HDTMA-Br) Modified Dry Water Hyacinth
Abstract: Heavy metal release into the environment by industrial activities has become a persistent problem,with these contaminants continually increasing in concentration. Heavy metals not only circulatethrough ecosystems but also accumulate in organisms over time, which elevates their toxic effectsalong the food chain. This research was conducted to explore the efficiency of biosorption inremoving lead (II) ions from aqueous solutions using water hyacinth powder modified withhexadecyltriammonium bromide (HDTMA-Br), a cationic surfactant. The …
