“…It is seen from Figure that MEMSO20 has lower CO emissions and diesel has higher emissions at all loads. This shows biodiesel contains more oxygen, leading to complete combustion . It indicates that the combustion efficiency improved, and the level of CO emission was reduced compared to diesel.…”

The rapid depletion of crude oil and environmental degradation necessitate the search for alternative fuel sources for internal combustion engines. Biodiesel is a promising alternative fuel for compression ignition (CI) engines due to its heat content and combustion properties. Biodiesel blends are used in various vehicles and equipment, such as cars, trucks, buses, off-road vehicles, and oil furnaces. Biodiesel can reduce emissions from CI engines by up to 75% and improve engine durability due to its high lubricity. However, biodiesel has some drawbacks, including a performance reduction and increased nitrogen oxide emissions. Therefore, this study aims to investigate using environmentally available biodiesel in a low-heat rejection engine and an antioxidant additive to enhance the performance and reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. India currently has several biodiesel sources, including mango seed oil, mahua oil, and pongamia oil, which can be effectively utilized in CI engines by adding l-ascorbic acid. The experimental work involves a single-cylinder 4-stroke water-cooled direct injection CI engine with a power output of 5.2 kW. The engine’s cylinder head, piston head, and valves are coated with lanthanum oxide using the plasma spray coating technique, with a thickness of 0.5 mm. The coated and uncoated engines are tested with different proportions of mahua oil, mango seed oil, and pongamia oil. The results show that the engine’s performance is significantly improved compared to the baseline engine at all loads. Additionally, these biodiesels exhibit a notable reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions when combined with l-ascorbic acid.

“…This shows biodiesel contains more oxygen, leading to complete combustion. 23 It indicates that the combustion efficiency improved, and the level of CO emission was reduced compared to diesel. The reason for the reduction of CO for MEMSO20 is the presence of excess oxygen and the effective combustion of biodiesel.…”

“…Black soldier flies are a type of fly that can be raised in large numbers. They are very efficient at breaking down organic matter, and they can produce compost in a relatively short period of time (Mahmoud et al, 2022) [10] . The use of industrial entomology approaches to composting has a number of advantages over traditional composting methods.…”

Industrial entomology is the study of the application of insects to industrial processes. This field has the potential to revolutionize the way we compost organic waste. Insects can be used to accelerate the composting process, improve the quality of the compost, and reduce the environmental impact of composting. Therefore using the insect approaches can be considered as a tool of climate change mitigation. Industrial entomology approaches offer a number of advantages over traditional composting methods. Insects are more efficient at breaking down organic matter than other methods, and they can produce compost in a shorter period of time. Insects also produce compost that is of higher quality, with a better nutrient balance. In addition, industrial entomology approaches are more environmentally friendly than traditional methods, as they do not require the use of chemicals or water. However the beneficially of using insects in composting, there are a lot of challenges of up calling of this technique in industry. So, more studies can proof the waste reduction efficiency and compost yield of Insect based technology as an innovative industry. This can inform the decision-making for implementation of organic waste treatment facilities.

“…Owing to the large diversity of solid wastes, several engineering and/or biological techniques are implemented for their management, including combustion, composting (fermentation), pyrolysis, conversion into fuels (Mahmoud et al, 2022) or other solid materials (Chen and He, 2012;Kiran et al, 2014;Bilal et al, 2019;Yaashikaa et al, 2020). Importantly, the solution used for waste management must be technically and financially feasible, in addition to be eco-friendly.…”
