Influence of phosphorus lipids on formation of deposits and performance of plant oil pressure stoves was investigated. Refined coconut oil with an original phosphorous content of 5.9 mg/kg was used as base for fuel blends by adding lecithin to adjust increased phosphorous concentrations of...

Increasing use of deshelled Jatropha seeds will result in a rising amount of seed shells as processing residues. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the physical and chemical properties of Jatropha seed shell and ashes as well as the development and testing of a robust and...

Plant oil as household energy could be a sustainable and locally available alternative for fossil fuel. However, the use of pure plant oil in pressure stoves leads to deposit in the vaporizer. Therefore, objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the degree of unsaturation of plant...
