Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA NEW THERMAL PROCESS FOR THE RECOVERY OF METALS FROM ZINC-CARBON AND ALKALINE SPENT BATTERIESGirolamo Belardi, Roberto Lavecchia, Franco Medici et al.The aim of this study is the thermal recovery of manganese and zinc from a mixture of zinc-carbon and alkaline spent batteries containing 40.9% of Mn and 30.1% of Zn after a preliminary physical treatment. Separation of the metals is carried out on the basis of their different phase change temperatures, the boiling point of zinc being 906°C and 1564°C … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 26 Jul 2014 · 6,984 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModification of Carbon Steel by Laser Surface Melting: Part I: Effect of Laser Beam Travelling Speed on Microstructural Features and Surface HardnessHashem F. El-Labban, M. Abdelaziz, Essam R.I. MahmoudThe present study aims to improve the surface hardness of carbon steel by application of laser surface melting of effective conditions. The travelling speed of laser beam during this treatment is one of the important treatment conditions. This study aims to investigate the effect of laser surface melting with different beam speeds on macro and microstructure as well as the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 2 Jan 2014 · 7,407 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison of Carbon and Selected Macronutrients in Forest-Floor Litter of Rehabilitated and Secondary ForestsMelvin Ku Kin Kin, Japar Sidik Bujang, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed et al.Problem statement: Forest rehabilitation with human assistance by species selection and management shortens the time needed to rehabilitate degraded land as compared to natural succession. Empirical data on litter nutrient contents of tropical rain forests in Southeast Asia have been established, however it is limited to rehabilitated degraded lands. The objective of this study was to determine contents of carbon … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 7,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCo-Processing Trial of Spent Carbon at Wadi Cement Works KarnatakaP. Singh Bundela, Momita Chakrawarty, S. P. GautamProblem statement: Co-processing in cement kiln perforce provides high temperature and long residence condition during the operation and is an effective technology for the management of waste in an environmentally friendly and safe manner. It fully absorbs the energy and material value of the waste without any harmful emissions. Approach: Co-processing in cement kiln ranks higher in the waste management … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Success Story of Voluntary Retirement Scheme in National Carbon Company: A Unit of Eveready Industries India LtdSoma Basu, Saroj K. DattaProblem statement: The success story of VRS in National Carbon Company-a unit of Eveready Industries India Ltd., Kolkata, which was the first dry cell manufacturing plant in India, is an eye opener for research scholars, practicing managers, trade union leaders and for the management students. Over the years, technology was not upgraded and so the labor cost of this unit … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,917 accessesView PDFCite

Ab Rahman, Anuar Bin KassimProblem statement: Glassy carbon electrode GCE was modified with different microparticles to increase the efficiency of analysis Mn2+ in blood samples by cyclic voltammetry and applied for the detection of trace Mn(II) by oxidation process. Approach: The structure and composition of the modified GCE processed by using Carbon Nanotubes CNT and C60 to produce two modified electrodes CNT/GCE and C60/GCE, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,492 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Converting Secondary Forest to Oil Palm Plantation on Peat Soil Carbon and Nitrogen and other Soil Chemical PropertiesMakilan Muniandy, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohd Khanif YusopProblem statement: Peatlands are natural sequesters of carbon and nitrogen. Once they are disturbed the tendency to lose carbon and nitrogen to the environment is very high. This study investigated the effect of converting peat land forest into oil palm plantation on soil chemical properties with particular emphasis on carbon and nitrogen storage. Approach: Soil samples were collected randomly at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,308 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComputable General Equilibrium Techniques for Carbon Tax ModelingAl-Amin, Chamhuri Siwar, Abdul HamidProblem statement: Lacking of proper environmental models environmental pollution is now a solemn problem in many developing countries particularly in Malaysia. Some empirical studies of worldwide reveal that imposition of a carbon tax significantly decreases carbon emissions and does not dramatically reduce economic growth.
