Heavy fuel oil (furnace oil) was thermally cracked by thermal cracker under different parametric conditions such as cracking temperature, molar ratio of heavy oil to diesel and cracking time to optimize the yield of the final product. In this thermal cracking process, the yield was gradually increased with the increase in temperature and time. After a certain temperature and time no significant increase in yield was observed. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) was done to observe the percentage of weight loss with increasing temperature. The obtained cracked oil was fractionated by atmospheric vacuum distillation unit. Products obtained from different experiments under different conditions showed almost similar physico-chemical properties. Optimization was done on the basis of yield (%wt). The optimum yield (56.2%) of light petroleum fraction (gasoline) was obtained under the following experimental conditions: cracking temperature: 445°C; molar ratio of furnace oil to diesel 95:05; and cracking time: 30 min. The properties such as density, water content, ash content, pour point, flash point, viscosity, range of boiling point, sulphur content, carbon residue, octane number etc. of the obtained light petroleum fraction were found almost similar to that of the commercial grade gasoline. Key words: Furnace oil; Thermal cracking; Gasoline; Thermo gravimetric analysis. DOI: 10.3329/bjsir.v44i4.4601 Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 44(4), 473-478, 2009

The influence of F/P on structure and thermal property of resin was studied. Six resins were synthesized with different molar ratios of F/P. These resins were cured by means of temperature and without catalyst. The characterization of the resin was done by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermo gravimetric analysis (DTG). From the thermal properties of fully cured resins, characteristic properties including pyrolysis temperature and char yield were obtained. A maximum in the benzene ring substitutions, methylene bridge and the result of the thermal properties allow us to say that the resin with F/P molar ratio 1.2 has the highest crosslinking density and highest char yield, over 73%.

An ethyl acetate extract from of Nervilia fordii (NFE) with considerable suppression activity on lipid peroxidation (LPO) was first obtained with total phenolic and flavonoid contents and anti-LPO activity (IC50) of 86.67 ± 2.5 mg GAE/g sample, 334.56 ± 4.7 mg RE/g extract and 0.307 mg/mL, respectively. In order to improve its stability and expand its application in antioxidant packaging, the nano-encapsulation of NFE within poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and polyvinyl(pyrrolidone) (PVP) bio-composite film was then successfully developed using electrospinning. SEM analysis revealed that the NFE-loaded fibers exhibited similar morphology to the neat PVA/PVP fibers with a bead-free and smooth morphology. The encapsulation efficiency of NFE was higher than 90% and the encapsulated NFE still retained its antioxidant capacity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the successful encapsulation of NFE into fibers and their compatibility, and the thermal stability of which was also improved due to the intermolecular interaction demonstrated by thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The ability to preserve the fish oil’s oxidation and extend its shelf-life was also demonstrated, suggesting the obtained PVA/PVP/NFE fiber mat has the potential as a promising antioxidant food packaging material.

With a thermo gravimetric analysis apparatus combustion characteristics experiments of coal residue cornstalk and mixtures of them were done at 20 C/min heating rate. Then the combustion characteristic Parameters were obtained by above experiments. The c combustion activation energies were acquired by kinetics analysis. The results show those: the ignition characteristic and synthesis combustion characteristic of coal residue are bad. The ignition characteristic and synthesis combustion characteristic of cornstalk are better. The combustion characteristics of the mixture of coal residue and cornstalk are determined by mixing ratio. The ratio of cornstalk is more and the synthesis combustion characteristic is better.

In this study, some new chitosan materials were synthesized by the grafting of chitosan with the monomers such as 1-vinylimidazole (VIM), methacrylamide (MAm) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS). First of all, chitosan methacrylate was prepared by esterification of primary -OH group with methacryloyl chloride a 25.13% yield by mole. The monomers were grafted into chitosan methacrylate via free radical polymerization using 2,2and#39;-Azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator in N,N-dimethylformamide. The graft copolymers were characterized by FT-IR spectra and elemental analysis. Thermal stabilities of the graft copolymers were determined by TGA (thermo gravimetric analysis) method. The synthesized chitosan methacrylate and its graft copolymers were tested for their antimicrobial activity against bacteria and yeast.

To prepare alpha zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP) with high interlayer distance, grafting ratio and thermal stability, 1,2-epoxypropane was used to modify α-ZrP as the epoxy group reacting with P-OH on the external and internal surfaces of α-ZrP to form P-O-C bonds after small amines pre-intercalation. Different characterization techniques were used, including X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Carbon Mass Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (13C MAS NMR). The results of XRD confirmed the pre-intercalation of amino-propane and the intercalation of 1,2-epoxypropane, as the interlayer distance increased from 7.5 Å to 16.9 Å and 15.3 Å, respectively. FT-IR and 13C MAS NMR results confirmed the formation of P-O-C bonds between 1,2-epoxypropane and α-ZrP. TGA analysis showed that the grafting ratio of 1,2-epoxypropane was 19.44%.
