The development of young scientists by Nazerke Halel and the Minuses of Saidiganieva received a prize at an international conference. The project manager is Gulsara Akanova, a doctoral student of Kaznatszhenpu. She has devoted several years to the development of a unique technology for producing environmentally friendly biofuels, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan reports.
"Now many countries are switching to biofuels. Abroad, it is produced mainly from various plants: sugar cane, corn. We have developed our own technology. In large fast food restaurants, vegetable oil is used in large volumes, and after cooking it remains unusable. We propose to recycle it. To do this, we clean the vegetable oil from the smallest impurities, then add an alkaline catalyst and ethyl alcohol and get biofuels", – рассказала Аканова.
The project of young scientists solves a number of environmental and economic issues. Biofuel is harmless to the environment and is an efficient, cheap, safe and at the same time convenient for transportation product. The technology was recognized as one of the best at the conference of young scientists and students "Farabi Alemi".
So far, this is the first scientific achievement of students of the Kazakh National Women's Pedagogical University. In the future, the students plan to improve their project and participate in start-up projects.
Recall that last year a student from Kokshetau won an international competition for startup projects. The young man presented the project "An engine running on pure hydrogen".
