oil purification-sciencedirect in Congo

Aerogels are of a popular choice for oil-water separation and water purification due to their attractive properties, such as lightweight, large surface area, and high porosity.

This study highlights the importance of adding value to Raphia sese (raffia) from the Congo Basin, by using a screw press to extract its pulp oil that can be used in agri-food industry. A 2 k factorial

Jan 1, 1998Therefore, purification of oil is necessary. Refining is usually done in four steps. It can be done by conventional processes, which include chemical refining or, following more

A novel strategy is proposed to enhance the performance of the UF membrane for Eriochrome Black T (EBT) and Congo Red (CR) dye separation from wastewater.

A previous study used ketapang activated carbon as an adsorbent for used cooking oil purification using H2SO4 activator with the most favorable results on free fatty acids of 0.78% . A

The work of Silou (2025) highlighted the potential of the Congo Basin in terms of unconventional oilseeds and oleaginous fruits, as for example Raphia sese (raffia) pulp, which could substitute

The purification (refining) process for crude oils and fats can be divided into four unit operations (or five if the feed oil requires winterisation): F.O.J. Oboh, Puri ca on of Crude Fats and Oils

This review presents recent technologies involved in vegetable oil refining as well as quality attributes of crude oils obtained by mechanical and solvent extraction. Usually, apart from virgin oils, crude oils cannot be consumed

Amino Acid Deep Eutectic Solvents (AADES) are emerging as a promising sustainable alternative to conventional organic solvents, particularly in oil purification

An effective strategy for coal-series kaolin utilization: Preparation of magnetic adsorbent for Congo red adsorption

Congo red (C 32 H 22 N 6 Na 2 O 6 S 2) with ≥ 99.5% of purity was obtained from Sigma Aldrich. The aforementioned reagents were used without further purification. Deionized

Jan 1, 2008Soybean oil purification, as used here, refers to the purification processes individually referred to as degumming, refining, bleaching, and deodorization. Each process is

The congo red test assessed the triple-helical structure of PPS3 by mixing 2 mg/mL PPS3 solution with an 80 μM Congo red solution in a 1:1 (V /V) ratio. Different NaOH

After refinement, purification applying multiple adsorbents could further improve oil quality, but greatly decreased oil oxidation stability. This study provided a reference to the

The cellulose-based aerogel composites in water pollutant treatment are summarized.

In recent years, utilization of polysaccharides as natural coagulant and coagulant-aid has become a topic of interest, due to the nature of biopolymers that are renewable,

The voluminous discharge of oil-laden wastewater from daily life, industrial activities, or accidental spills poses a significant threat to the environment and human health,
