Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Vital Source of Energy for 21st Century: Review On Alkaline Fuel CellOmprakash Sahu, Suddhasatwa BasuA cell which converts the chemical energy into electric energy as eco-friendly way on the principle of electrochemical and Inverted by Sir William Grove in 1839 is known to be "fuel cell". It became a vital source of energy for the 21st Century. Different types of fuel cell are invented based on their working temperature and a type of material … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 6 Jan 2015 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
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 abstractTHE HIGH VOLUME REUSE OF HYBRID BIOMASS ASH AS A PRIMARY BINDER IN CEMENTLESS MORTAR BLOCKCheah Chee Ban, Noor Shazea Ahmad Nordin, Part Wei Ken et al.High Calcium Wood Ash (HCWA) and Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA) are by-products from the wood biomass and coal energy production which are produced in large quantity with combined annual production of 500 million tonnes. This poses a serious problem for disposal of the waste material especially at places where land is scarce. The prescribed study was aimed to examine the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 29 May 2014 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination and Source Apportionment of Selected Heavy Metals in Aerosol Samples Collected from SebeleAlfred Sello Likuku, Gilbert Kabelo Gaboutloeloe, Khumoetsile B. MmolawaBush fires and dust in the dry winter months establish moderately high background levels of aerosols. Emissions into the atmosphere by copper mines, coal mines and vehicular emissions are all possible sources of air pollution with heavy metals. Although there has been assessment and monitoring of heavy metals and their air pollution in other countries such as Brazil, Europe and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 25 Apr 2013 · 7,441 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAvailability and Physical Properties of Residues from Major Agricultural Crops for Energy Conversion Through Thermochemical ProcessesYaning Zhang, A. E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiPlant residues from the major agricultural crops (wheat, rice, corn, soybean, sugarcane, coffee and cotton) are abundantly available renewable resources that can be used to supply energy through thermochemical conversion processes. The available amounts of plant residues from these crops and their physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) were determined. The annual residues from the wheat, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2012 · 9,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Malaysia's Energy System: Some Preliminary ResultsAhmad Mohd. YusofProblem statement: The current dynamic and fragile world energy environment necessitates the development of new energy model that solely caters to analyze Malaysia’s energy scenarios. Approach: The model is a network flow model that traces the flow of energy carriers from its sources (import and mining) through some conversion and transformation processes for the production of energy products to final … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 13 Aug 2011 · 7,250 accessesView PDFCite
