Oil is a key feedstock for everything from plastics to cosmetics. Over time, we’re likely to see less oil burned for transport – and more used to make products.

Who was known as America's greatest diesel engine maker? You'd probably say Caterpillar or Cummins, but some old timers might argue that Detroit Diesel takes the crown. While this makes for a ...

Abstract: Processes of pyrolysis and esterification post-treatment of tung oil have been studied. Some reaction conditions of pyrolysis and several kinds of catalysts of esterification were compared.

Many gas stations host diesel pumps that can be easily confused with gas pumps. Pumping diesel into your gas car can wreak havoc on its systems, forcing you to call a tow truck and mechanic.

The study was led by Yale Engineering professors Liangbing Hu and Shu Hu, both members of the Center for Materials Innovation and Yale Energy Sciences Institute. Conventional methods of pyrolysis ...

Diesel and gasoline engines might look alike under the hood, but they use oil in very different ways. Gas engines run cleaner, but diesels create much more soot, crank out higher compression forces, ...

Abstract: Polymer waste material was subjected to catalytic pyrolysis using acid treated kaolin clay. Waste material was cracked thermally and catalytically in a batch reactor in the temperature range ...

ABSTRACT: This paper presents findings of a study on solid wastes conversion into fuels through pyrolysis of plastic materials, presenting an alternative renewable approach for waste management.

Diesel and gasoline are the lifeblood of modern transportation, each playing a crucial role in powering our world. These fuels are derived from crude oil through fractional distillation, where they ...

When it's time to buy a new vehicle, you may find yourself at a crossroads wondering whether to go with a standard gasoline engine or a spiffy diesel variant. Diesel engines are known far and wide for ...
