Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Solid Residues Obtained from Supercritical Ethanol Liquefaction of Swine ManureRui Li, Bo Zhang, Shuangning Xiu et al.Animal wastes are considered as renewable energy resources, which contain a great energy potential. For this study, swine manure was treated with supercritical ethanol within the reaction temperature range of 240-360°C to produce bio-oil, resulting in a significant amount of solid residues. Solid residues were characterized by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM), surface area, elemental and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 15 Jul 2015 · 7,687 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelected Genotoxic Impurities Profiling During WFI Qualification to Control Carcinogenesis in Large Volume ParenteralsMohabbat UllahWater For Injections (WFI) which is the main vehicle of Large Volume Parenterals (LVPs) should be free from trace amount of genotoxic impurities. This review gives emphasis on quantification of genotoxic trace metals during qualification of WFI in LVPs manufacturing unit. According to ICH guidelines, impurities related to drug substances are classified into three main categories: Organic impurities, inorganic (elemental) … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 27 May 2015 · 7,708 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Bio-Char as Flow Modifier and Water Treatment Agent for Sustainable Pavement DesignRenaldo Walters, Shamim A. Begum, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThe life expectancy of Asphalt Binder (AB) has been negatively impacted by the harsh bombardment of Ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV rays cause asphalt to oxidize faster, which results in the deterioration of asphalt's rheological characteristics that can lead to pavement distresses. This paper investigates merits of bio-char to improve asphalt aging susceptibility by blending one control binder (PG 64-22) and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 9,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental and Skeletal Kinetic Model Study of Compressed Natural Gas Fueled Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition EngineP. M. Diaz, B. Durga Prasad, D.S. Manoj Abraham, K. PalaniKumarProblem statement: In homogeneous charge compression ignition engines fuel oxidation chemistry determines the auto-ignition timing, heat release, reaction intermediates and the ultimate products of combustion. To shorten development time and to understand combustion processes, the use of simulation is increasing. Approach: A model that correctly simulates fuel oxidation at these conditions would be a useful design tool. Detailed models of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 22 Mar 2012 · 7,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis, Characterization and Biological Activities of Organotin (IV) Methylcyclohexyldithiocarbamate CompoundsNormah Awang, Ibrahim Baba, Bohari M. Yamin et al.Problem statement: The growing interest in the chemistry of sulphur donor ligands are due to their encouraging anticancer, antibacterial and antifungal activities as well as their widespread industrial application. Dithiocarbamates belong to this class and much attention has been paid to them. Approach: Novel organotin compounds with the molecular formula RmSn[S2CN(CH3)(C6H11)]4-m (where m = 2, R = CH3, C2H5; m … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 9,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Potassium and Calcium Hydroxide, Compost and Humic Acid from Sago (Metroxylon sagu) WasteC. P. Auldry, O. H. Ahmed, A.M. Nik Muhamad et al.Problem statement: Agriculture waste such as Sago Waste (SW) has a potential to cause pollution when the waste is discarded into rivers. In order to add value to SW, a study was conducted to produce potassium and calcium hydroxide, compost and Humic Acid (HA) from SW. Approach: The SW was air-dried and some grinded. The grinded SW was incinerated at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,583 accessesView PDFCite
