Abstract:

Beeswax is primarily produced by specialized beeswax factories across the world. Beeswax is a phase change material with high heat capacity. The production procedures have a high impact on the quality of beeswax. Melting and chemical extraction are the two procedures for extracting wax. Melting is the most used method. Wax can be melted using hot water, steam, electricity, or solar energy. Chemical solvent extraction is only possible in a laboratory. The use of phase change materials (PCMs) as thermal energy storage devices is gaining popularity in heating and cooling applications. When these substances change phase, such as from solid to liquid or liquid to gas, they absorb a huge quantity of heat while maintaining a steady temperature. To study the thermal properties of beeswax as a phasechanging material, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were performed. Recent Publications 1.
