Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPREPARATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROM PALM OIL SHELL BY CHEMICAL ACTIVATION WITH Na2CO3 AND ZnCl2 AS IMPRENATED AGENTS FOR H2S ADSORPTIONKanokorn HussaroHydrogen Sulfide (H2S, rotten-egg) is one of the major environmental pollutants having its sources in natural and anthropogenic activities. It’s had smell gas produced by anaerobic digestion in acid condition from organic and inorganic compounds containing sulphur, presents dual problems of its toxicity and foul ordour. One of methods of its removal is adsorption. Activated carbon is a widely used … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 17 Jun 2014 · 8,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemediation of Diesel Contaminated Soils Using Surfactants: Coulumn StudyE. Salehian, A. Khodadadi, B. HosseiniThis study presents the experimental remediation studies of diesel contaminated soil with Sodium Deducible Sulfate (SDS) as surfactants using column tests. Sandy selected soil had the grain size distribution of # 40 meshes to the # 200 mesh range. The soil columns were contaminated with adequate diesel amount to achieve the concentration of 10000 and 20000 ppm in soil. 0.1, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Jun 2012 · 8,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation-Properties Relation of Mn-Cu Hopcalite CatalystArdita Mele, Ilo Mele, Altin MeleProblem statement: The Mn-Cu hopcalite catalyst was used for the conversion of CO to CO2 at low temperatures. It was the catalyst of choice in the gas masks for respiratory protection in mines, aircrafts, military, spatial laboratories. Approach: The efficiency of hopcalite catalyst depends on its surface parameters. Its surface characteristics can be influenced from the chosen way of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 26 Dec 2011 · 7,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPorosity Investigation of Kosova's ClayMakfire Sadiku, Naim Hasani, Altin MeleProblem statement: Acid activated clay minerals are used as catalysts in the desulphurization of crude oil or as catalyst carrier, drilling mud, bleaching earth. Approach: The efficiency of the acid activation can be described in two ways. As increase of the surface and as increase of the cumulative pore volume after the activation. Results: In different samples of the clay … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 23 Sep 2011 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction and Characterization of Bio-Char from the Pyrolysis of Empty Fruit BunchesMohamad Azri Sukiran, Loh Soh Kheang, Nasrin Abu Bakar, Choo Yuen MayProblem statement: The palm oil industry generates an abundance of oil palm biomass such as the Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB), shell, frond, trunk and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). For 88 million tones of Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) processed in 2008, the amount of oil palm biomass was more than 26 million tones. Studies about production of bio-char from oil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 9,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review: Mesoporous Santa Barbara Amorphous-15, Types, Synthesis and Its Applications towards Biorefinery ProductionNorhasyimi Rahmat, Ahmad Zuhairi Abdullah, Abdullah Rahman MohamedProblem statement: Santa Barbara Amorphous (SBA-15) is significant mesoporous silica with exclusive and important properties of highly ordered mesopores, hydrothermally stable and thick wall, profusely large surface area and huge pore volume which render it as promising catalyst for wide applications. However, the purely siliceous SBA-15 which lacks of acidity characteristic hinders its ideal capabilities as catalyst. Moreover, functionalization and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 14,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Sintering Temperature Effect on the Shrinkage Behavior of Cobalt Chromium AlloyM. Ghazali Kamardan, N. Hidayah A. Zaidi, M. Noh Dalimin et al.Problem Statement: Co-Cr based alloys which is well known for its high Young’s modulus, fatigue strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance is an important metallic bio-material. However, till date there are only two type of Co-Cr alloy which are the castable and wrought cobalt alloy. Powder Metallurgy route for cobalt is expected to give better result of Co-Cr alloy. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 7,792 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Vegetative Induced Deformation in an Unsaturated SoilNazri Bn Ali, Mu’azu Mohammed AbdullahiProblem statement: Tree root water-uptake increases soil strength by increasing the soil matric suction due to pore pressure dissipation in a soil mass, inducing increases in vertical total stress or water extraction, the effective stress to which the soil strata is subjected to may also increase. This causes volume change which might be detrimental to geotechnical structures and shallow foundation. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Mesoporous Titania with Surfactant and its CharacterizationT. Benkacem, N. AgoudjilA mesoporous titania was obtained by gelation from Ti-alkoxide in acidic solutions with addition of surfactant cetyltrimetylammonium bromide (CH3(CH2)15N(CH3)3Br) using a sol-gel process. The effects of surfactant concentration on synthesis of mesoporous titania were studied. The structural characterisation was studied by differential thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction. Studies by X-ray diffraction showed that crystallisation of TiO2 powder occurs at … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCollapsibility and Volume Change Behavior of Unsaturated Residual SoilAzlan A. Aziz, Faisal H. Ali, chioong F. heng et al.Residual soils occur in most countries of the world but the greater areas and depths are normally found in tropical humid areas. In these places, the soil forming processes are still very active and the weathering development is much faster than the erosive factor. Most residual soil exhibit high suctions for most of the year. The absence of positive pore … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,121 accessesView PDFCite
