Much lower cmc values of the order of 250 times were observed for 16E216 and 16E316 than conventional surfactants. Further, synergistic interaction occurs between the gemini and conventional surfactants as a result of negative interaction parameters. The mixed systems were also investigated for the solubilization of polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), Phenanthrene. Among the pure surfactants, 16E216 has the highest and CTAB has the lowest efficiency for phenanthrene. Solubility enhancement was observed for almost all gemini-conventional mixed systems and shows better solubilization properties than pure surfactant systems due to synergism. The morphologies of pure and mixed systems were examined by TEM imaging. Findings of the present study could be exploited to use such mixed surfactant systems as the successful remediation technology for PAH contaminated soils.","PeriodicalId":19599,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Journal Of Chemistry","volume":"26 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136068944","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}

Heat rate refers to the amount of heat required to generate one unit of power which mainly depends upon coal quality. Boiler efficiency and heat rate are mainly influenced by key quality parameters of the coal that is ash, moisture, volatile matter, net calorific value of coal, ratio of fixed carbon to volatile matter and grindability of coal. In this research study an effort is being made to improve coal quality by using bio-extracts derived from leaves of citrus limon in combination with lower concentrations of Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid (EDTA) and compare boiler efficiency/heat rate with raw and beneficiated coals. Phyto extract derived from citrus limon is effective in demineralizing Aluminium and Pyrite minerals in coal and EDTA is successful for removal of Calcium and Magnesium mineral components of coal and hence calorific value of coal is increased. Results suggesting that usage beneficiated coals improving the boiler efficiency and reducing the heat rate of the thermal unit there by crores of rupee can be saved.","PeriodicalId":19599,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Journal Of Chemistry","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136070183","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}
