Potential Utilization of Acetylene as an Alternative Fuel in Petrol Engine

Acetylene is not particularly hazardous, but when produced from calcium carbide, it can have dangerous impurities including phosphine and arsine residues, giving it a unique garlic-like odor. It, like most light hydrocarbons, is extremely combustible. It can then be synthesized from eggshells, instead of leaving Egg Shells as waste causing environmental pollution. It can be used as a substitute fuel for a petrol engine, thereby converting waste to wealth. By using acetylene gas as fuel in a petrol engine, there is less emission as compared to other conventional fuels. The production of acetylene carried out from the bio waste eggshells and snail shells will be synthesized, it is usually produced by the mixture of calcium carbide and water. The main objectives of this project are to produce the alternative fuel from eggshells and snail shells, determine the physicochemical properties of the fuel produced from the bio waste, evaluate the combustion characteristics of the acetylene produced from bio waste, and utilize the acetylene produced from bio waste to run a petrol engine.
