  • Does coconut shell have a potential?
  • In this research, the potential of coconut shell was investigated by measuring a number of parameters ranging from moisture content, ash content, density and caloric value and specific heat capacity. Moisture content is considered as the most important parameter of the five parameters measured.
  • Are coconut shells a good alternative to fossil fuels?
  • These fossil fuels do substantially more harm than renewable energy sources like biomass energy. Oil extracted from biomass is considered as an attractive option. In our project, we have specifically selected coconut shells as our feed as they are carbon-neutral, easy to store and abundantly available.
  • Is coconut oil good for environmental use?
  • Various analysis such as Infrared Spectroscopy, Gas-Mass Spectroscopy and Ultimate analysis are performed on the retrieved samples of oil extracted from the coconut shells. It is to be observed that the carbon content in the Cocos nucifera derived oil is less than the conventional diesel oil which makes it best for environmental uses.
  • How to study the properties of bio-oil extracted by coconut shell?
  • The analysis of bio-oil which is extracted by coconut shell is done in many methods which signifies the quality of bio-oil and allows us to further study about the properties of it. In this experiment we are applying as many as 3 methods to study the properties of Bio-oil. 1. Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis
