Among these, algae-based biodiesel, a third-generation biofuel, has emerged as a promising candidate due to its high productivity, non-competition with food resources, and carbon sequestration potential. This review aims to address a gap in the existing literature by comprehensively analysing algae biodiesel production, including cultivation methods, extraction techniques, and strategies to enhance fuel properties. Furthermore, it offers a novel synthesis of the impact of algae biodiesel on compression ignition engines, focusing on combustion characteristics, engine performance, and exhaust emissions. Key findings indicate that algae biodiesel exhibits shorter ignition delays, gradual heat release rates, and longer combustion durations than conventional diesel. While engine performance remains comparable, algae biodiesel results in slightly lower brake thermal efficiency and higher specific fuel consumption. In terms of emissions, it significantly reduces CO, HC, and PM emissions but leads to marginally higher NOx emissions. The advantages of algae biodiesel, including its renewability, adaptability through species selection or genetic modification, and environmental benefits, underscore its potential as a viable alternative fuel. This review highlights the feasibility of algae biodiesel as a sustainable energy solution, contributing to the transition toward cleaner and more efficient fuel sources.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100251,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Chemical Engineering","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100178"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143942469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the search for cheaper and more economical materials to be used as precipitants, civil construction waste has been used for this application. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate the utilization of construction and demolition waste (gypsum and cementitious mortar) in the retention of Copper, Lead, and Nickel metal ions. The assessment of the removal capacity of these metal ions using gypsum powder and cementitious mortar was conducted through chemical precipitation using batch experiments.

In experiments using different types of cementitious mortar (ACI, ACII, ACIII, and common) as precipitants in a solution contaminated with copper at a constant concentration of 600 mg/L, it was found that the precipitation rates were practically the same, with ACIII mortar showing the highest percentage of precipitation.

This paper aims to propose a new Chattering Free Binomial Hyperbolic Sliding Mode Controller (CFBHSMC) for DC-DC boost converter to augment the system performance and guarantee the system accuracy in presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances. Due to nonlinearity of PEMFC system and its high control sensitivity, the design control scheme has been formulated as multi-objective optimization problem using Multi-Objective Stochastic Fractal Search Algorithm (MOSFSA). The optimal CFBHSMC can significantly reduce the chattering effect, ensure the fast convergence and enhance the tracking accuracy. To validate the proposed controller's capabilities, the simulation results have been compared with fuzzy controller, classic SMC and super-twisting SMC.
