Bioethanol is a clean and sustainable fuel; on the contrary, the addition of bioethanol to gasoline normally creates corrosion on automobile fuel system materials. In this study, corrosion characteristics of low carbon steel normally encountered in gasoline engine fuel system with bioethanol fuel was investigated. Static immersion tests in different fuel blends E0 (gasoline), E10 and E85 were carried out at room temperature for 1320 h. The mechanical, physical and chemical properties of low carbon steel before and after immersion tests were investigated. Moreover, the physical and chemical properties of fuel blends before and after immersion tests were investigated. The results revealed that the usage of E10 blend is considered feasible for gasoline engines in terms of materials compatibility compared to E85.

The accelerated aging tests under salt fog conditions were carried out on two types of composite insulators in order to evaluate their anti-aging properties. FTIR spectroscopy, hydrophobicity, and hardness measurements were taken to characterize insulator housings' physical and chemical properties before and after aging. It was found that the aging characteristics were highly dependent on housing profile, aging time, and filling materials.

Water scarcity is a widely experienced problem in several countries in the world like Qatar, Israel, Lebanon and many others. Critical steps have to be taken before this becomes a worldwide phenomenon. The current study focuses on cleaning the greywater, which is about 65% of total wastewater from households, using activated charcoal powder prepared from coconut husk. The material is chemically activated. The shell based activated carbon is used for decolorization of three solution samples: Potassium Permanganate (Purple), Potassium Dichromate (Orange) and Copper Sulphate (Blue) as well as treating the sullage water. Change in normality of above-mentioned samples is calculated before and after treatment by activated charcoal using maximum absorbance data for before treatment as standard. Also, sullage water is treated with activated charcoal and comparison of physical and chemical properties is done before and after the treatment.
