Modified Gasoline Fuel Using Bio Waste of Coconut and Calotropis Procera as Natural Plant
Chemical Engineering Department, College of Engineering, Dhofar University, Oman
The aim of this workplace, try to improve quality grid of Omanʼs gasoline fuel using the shield of coconut as bio waste adsorbent. Three treatments have been used for bio waste physical, mechanical and chemical treatments using solvents to increase the ability of the adsorbent to reduce sulfur, water and carbon di oxide contents in gasoline fuel about 32.7 %, 100 % and 11.84 % respectively. Chemical compound extracts from the natural plant Caltoropicprocera has been used to increase the octane number of gasoline from 95 to 98 due to its chemical properties.
