Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDry Heating of Palm Fruits: Effect on Selected ParametersNu’man Abdul Hadi, Ng Mei Han, Choo Yuen May, Ma Ah NganThis study reports on the effects of dry heating of oil palm fruits for the purpose of sterilization and solvent extraction with various oil parameters. Steam sterilization of oil palm fresh fruit bunches was required as a pre-treatment to deactivate enzymes that give rise to Free Fatty Acids (FFA) before the oil could be extracted. While the use of high-pressure … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 1 Aug 2012 · 8,987 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of the Fatty Acid Profile in Some Macroalgae in Relation to the Environmental Conditions for Biodiesel ProductionNayrah Abdel Naby Shaltout, Nihal Galal Shams El-DinIn this study, fatty acids profile was determined in four algal species; namely Ulva fasciata (Chlorophyta), Corallina mediterranea, Corallina officinalis and Pterocladiella capillacea (Rhodophyta) which were collected from two sites (Abu-Qir Bay and Eastern Harbor) located on the Egyptian Mediterranean Sea during the four seasons in the period (2011-2012). In addition, nutrient content in the algal species (total nitrogen and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 14 Dec 2015 · 7,334 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Effects of Application of Silica Fume to Reduce Asphalt Oxidative AgingNader Abutalib, Elham H. Fini, Sassan Aflaki, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis paper investigates the feasibility of using silica fume to enhance the rheological properties of asphalt binder. It has been widely reported that asphalt binder oxidation is one of the phenomena that reduces the service life of asphalt pavement by negatively impacting its rheological properties. This in turn can lead to a more brittle pavement which is more prone to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 8,485 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification, Characterization and Quantification of Elastomeric/Plastomeric Waste for Sustainable Waste MinimizationKajal Yadav, Sangita, A. ChandraThe present study focuses on the importance of characterization of waste/post consumer polymers. In recent years sophisticated instrumental techniques played an important role in identification and characterization of polymers. Advances in computer techniques have been combined with analytical instruments to give analytical speed, resolution and minimal sample requirements unimagined a few years ago. The present study deals with the development … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,056 accessesView PDF Cite
