Two chemists at Brown University have streamlined the conversion of waste vegetable oil (WVO) into biodiesel, eliminating the need for corrosive chemicals to perform the reactions. Current techniques for the conversion of waste vegetable oil to biodiesel take time, are costly and are inefficient. —Jason Sello. Socha and Jason K.

Researchers at the Isfahan University of Technology (Iran), have demonstrated the use of a dilute acid hydrolysis process to convert rice straw—a cheap, abundant and mainly unused ag waste—to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural. Both furans are components for production of different chemicals and fuels. Carbohydrate Research.

Example of micro fibers produced with 20 wt % AB (ammonia borane) in water as core solution, showing smooth (nonporous) and cylindrical (noncollapsed) fibers; from a 2010 paper by the scientific team. The material could allow hydrogen to be stored in a cheap and practical way for transport applications, the company says. Jones, Neal T.

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) 2010 and 2015 hydrogen storage targets are 6 wt% and 9 wt% (gravimetric capacity); 45 and 81 grams H 2 per L (volumetric capacity); and $4 and $2 per kWh (storage cost), respectively. Chicken feather fibers are mostly composed of keratin, a natural protein that forms strong, hollow tubes.
