In recent years, developments made to reduce the consequences generated using petroleum products have been strengthening; therefore, biofuels have become a requirement in different countries worldwide with the objective of reducing not only the high levels of current pollution, but also mitigating the effects generated by global warming. Despite the advances that have been made in the field of research on Jatropha, it is still necessary to carry out more detailed studies aimed at achieving a better use of it, identifying the influence of its physical–chemical properties in terms of quality levels, as well as determining its behavior when mixed with palm oil to achieve a biodiesel with better yields, whose impact will be reflected mainly in the environmental field, helping to mitigate the production of greenhouse gases that are produced by petroleum products. Although currently the biofuels sector has made important advances in research, it is necessary to deepen the physical–chemical analyses both in the production and storage processes of biodiesel, so that in the future it can be fully fulfilled with the energy requirements that are currently only achieved with fossil fuels, so it is necessary to direct this research toward the development of new products with improved characteristics, especially when exposed to prolonged storage times and low temperatures.

The paper aims to present the investigation of H2 adsorption capacity in metal doped nanostructured materials, by using two methods. Carbonic materials are considered to be one of the most promising materials to be used for hydrogen adsorption and storage. They have different applications and one of the most important is considered to be fuel cells technology. By using metals for doping these materials, the adsorption capacity increases, thus approaching the target of 6.5% weight ratio of H2 adsorbed in a substrate. Within these investigations multi-wall nanotubes and poly-aniline have been used as substrates. The poly-aniline has been prepared and doped in laboratory while the nanotubes used in experiments have been purchased from the market and afterwards doped in laboratory. The doping procedure consists of a physical-chemical method which involves salts of the metal for doping and the use of ultrasounds in order to activate the substrate for doping. The adsorption capacity of the carbonic materials has been determined by using spill over phenomena in a PCT Pro-User apparatus, provided by SETARAM and also by cyclic voltametry, by using VoltaLab-40 apparatus. In order to investigate the adsorption capacity of the nanostructured carbonic materials, the experiments have been carried out at different pressures. Both substrates have been characterized in order to determine their porosity, BET surface and structure. The collected data have been processed by using the PCT Pro-User apparatus�s software. The results have been compared with the available data from literature and a good consistency was found.

Abstract The concent rat ions of hexachloroethane (HCE), hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD), pentachlorobenzene (QCB), hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and octachlorostyrene (OCS) in large volume water samples show that the major sources of these chemicals to the St. Clair River are Dow Chemical Company effluents and, to a lesser degree, Sarnia’s Township ditch which drains one of Dow’s waste disposal sites. Tributaries entering the river on both sides of the Canada/United States border contain measurable concentrations of these chemicals indicating low level contamination throughout the area. The degree of water/suspended sediment partitioning of the chemicals (Kp) was studied. Kp values for the individual chemicals changed in a manner consistent with changes in their physical-chemical properties.
