Abstract

After the olive harvest, part is devoted to the production of olive oil and the other to table olives (pitted and notpitted). This study focuses on the potential for recovery and recycling of certain agricultural waste, such as olive pits, i.e. the solid phaseresulting from the pitting of olives. First, the olive pits are recovered, washed, dried, then ground into powder form, and then aphysicochemical characterization was carried out to determine their physico-chemical and thermal properties using the humidity analyzer,the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC).In addition, a study of the mechanical properties in compression of olive pits was also carried out. Due to the dispersions of the experimental results obtained, a statistical study based on the two-parameter Weibull method was used with the aim of correctly evaluating the mechanical characteristics of the olive stones studied. On the other hand, the comparison showed that the experimentalvalues are very close to the average values obtained with the proposed statistical distribution.

Abstract

This work aims to study the effect of conducting and semiconducting nanoparticles (NPs) on ac breakdown voltage (ac-BDV) and the electrostatic charging tendency (ECT) of synthetic ester (SE), namely, MIDEL 7131; ac-BDV and ECT are two important properties that must be considered when choosing an insulating oil for use in power transformers. The NPs being tested are iron oxide (Fe3O4, fullerene (C60, and copper oxide (CuO) NPs at 0.1-g/L (0.01 wt%) concentration. An improved nanofluid (NF) preparation procedure and the ECT test cell are presented. This latter consists of a spinning disk covered on both sides by the solid insulator being tested and immersed in the investigated liquid. It is observed that NF with Fe3O4NPs shows the best improvement of ac-BDV; this improvement is about 22.44%. The improvements are about 7.81% and 8.24% with 0.1-g/L CuO and C60NFs, respectively. Regarding ECT, the measurement results show that the liquid volume charge density increases with disk rotation speed over time; a lower ECT is observed with the three NFs. Also, the NFs show a similar ECT at low speed (200 r/min); beyond that speed, the effect of adding CuO and C60NPs on the ECT reduction of MIDEL 7131 becomes more significant than that with Fe3O4NPs.
