Rheological behaviour of liquid fuel emulsions using food waste based char with cationic surfactant

This research project is basically a research to develop a renewable energy that can be consumed to replace the pioneer of the fossil fuels due to its exhaustion besides reducing the food waste that endanger our ecosystem. By using food waste as in ‘tempe’, as the based char to the liquid fuel emulsion, the char slurry will be tested by using cationic surfactant which is benzalkonium chloride, to prove the homogeneity and the compatibility of the char slurry with the surfactant by heating. The ‘tempe’ was firstly dried to reduce the moisture content to prevent the reading of the carbon content of the pyrolysed samples are disrupted before been taken for further steps for pyrolysis.
