• Outlook for Direct Use of Sunflower and Castor Oils as Biofuels in Compression Ignition Diesel Engines, Being Part of Diesel/Ethyl Acetate/Straight Vegetable Oil Triple Blends 

  Aguado-Deblas, Laura; Estévez, R.; Hidalgo-Carrillo, J.; Bautista, Felipa M.; Luna, Carlos; Calero, Juan; Posadillo, Alejandro; Romero, Antonio A.; Luna, Diego (MDPI, 2020)

  Today, biofuels are indispensable in the implementation of fossil fuels replacement processes. This study evaluates ethyl acetate (EA) as a solvent of two straight vegetable oils (SVOs), castor oil (CO), and sunflower oil ...

• Hydrogen Production through Glycerol Photoreforming on TiO2/Mesoporous Carbon: Influence of the Synthetic Method 

  Escamilla, Juan Carlos; Hidalgo-Carrillo, J.; Martín-Gómez, Juan; Estévez, R.; Montes, Vicente; Cosano, Daniel; Urbano Navarro, Francisco José; Marinas, Alberto (MDPI, 2020)

  This article explores the effect of the synthetic method of titanium dioxide (TiO2)/C composites (physical mixture and the water-assisted/unassisted sol-gel method) on their photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production ...

• Ternary Hydrotalcites in the Multicomponent Synthesis of 4H-Pyrans 

  Nope, Eliana; Sathicq, Ángel; Martínez, José J.; Rojas, Hugo; Luque, Rafael; Romanelli, Gustavo P. (MDPI, 2020)

  Lamellar double hydroxides (LDH) with double divalent cations were synthesized by the co-precipitation method and studied in the multicomponent synthesis of 4H-pyrans. The solids obtained were characterized by X-ray ...

• Acetone Prospect as an Additive to Allow the Use of Castor and Sunflower Oils as Drop-In Biofuels in Diesel/Acetone/Vegetable Oil Triple Blends for Application in Diesel Engines 

  Aguado-Deblas, Laura; Hidalgo-Carrillo, J.; Bautista, Felipa M.; Luna, Diego; Luna, Carlos; Calero, Juan; Posadillo, Alejandro; Romero, Antonio A.; Estévez, R. (MDPI, 2020)

  The present paper investigates the feasibility of using acetone (ACE) in triple blends with fossil diesel (D) and straight vegetable oils (SVOs) as alternative fuel for diesel engines. In this respect, ACE is selected as ...

• Performance and Emission Quality Assessment in a Diesel Engine of Straight Castor and Sunflower Vegetable Oils, in Diesel/Gasoline/Oil Triple Blends 

  Estévez, R.; Aguado-Deblas, Laura; Posadillo, Alejandro; Hurtado, Beatriz; Bautista, Felipa M.; Hidalgo, José M.; Luna, Carlos; Calero, Juan; Romero, Antonio A.; Luna, Diego (MDPI, 2019)

  This research evaluates the possibility of using straight oils such as castor oil, which is not suitable for food use, and sunflower oil, used as a standard reference for waste cooking oils, in blends with gasoline as ...
