    Abstract: Up to 15% of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) have been used as biocomponents for the manufacture of biodiesel fuels corresponding to the requirements of EN 590-09. Applying nitration with various agents has been obtained additives reducing the time delay of self-ignition (TDSI) of diesel fuels containing 20% light catalytic gas oil. The nitro prod... Show More

    Abstract: The froth can be adopted as an indicator of the performance of flotation processes. The study of froth image structure would enable us to establish a number of parameters from which could convey the froth characteristics. To monitor the operating performance of the floatation cell by machine vision system, it is crucial to identify and extract thos... Show More
