ABSTRACT A vegetable oil is a triglyceride extracted from a plant. Such oils have been part of human culture for millennia. The term \'vegetable oil\' can be narrowly defined as referring only to substances that are liquid at room temperature, or broadly defined without regard to a substance\'s state of matter at a given temperature. For this... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT The seminar topic, “Extraction of oil from local seeds” is based on the study of palm oil and groundnut oil from palm fruits and groundnut seeds respectively, which are the local seeds. Oil is an organic substance which is an essential constituent of plants and animals. Extraction is a technique used for collecting oil from local... Continue Reading
Abstract Waste plastic disposal and excessive use of fossil fuels have caused environment concerns in the world. Both plastics and petroleum derived fuels are hydrocarbons that contain the elements of carbon and hydrogen. The difference between them is that plastic molecules have longer carbon chains than those in LPG, petrol, and diesel fuels.... Continue Reading
