Item Production of biodiesel using waste cooking oil and loose copra oil(Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2024-06) Weliwegamage.U.S.K; De Silva,C.K; Perera,G.W.C.SThis study focuses on producing biodiesel from waste cooking oil (WCO) and loose copra oil (LCO). The aim is to reduce energy consumption by using low-cost raw materials and energy-saving methods.Item Study of photocatalytic degradation of some selected Dyes and other organic contaminants in water(Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2024-06) Weliwegamage,U.S.K; Fernando,S.S.A; Perera,G.W.C.S; Kamalapriya,B.D.HThe present study explores the effects of various parameters such as radiation type, pH of the solution, type of photocatalyst, particle size, initial concentration of dyes and pesticide precursors, amount of H2 O2 concentration, reaction temperature, and photocatalyst load on photocatalysis of each compound. TiO2 nanoparticles, TiO2 microparticles, and MnO2 microparticles were used to compare the efficiency of the photocatalysts.Item The effect of the metal ion composition on the decarboxylation percentage of metal basic soap and level of unsaturation in producing green diesel(Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2024-06) Weliwegamage,U.S.K; Jayasinghe,M.K.S; Perera,G.W.C.SThe growing demand for fossil fuels has led to their depletion, causing higher fuel prices and threatening the sustainability of industrialized countries.
