Thermal analysis of nigerian oil palm biomass with sachet-water plasticwastes for sustainable production of biofuel
Nigeria, being the world's largest importer of diesel-powered gen-sets, is expected to invest in bio-fuels in the future. Hence, it is important to examine the thermal properties and synergy of wastes for potential downstream resource utilization. In this study, thermal conversion as a route to...
