Abstract

This study was aimed to evaluate the characteristic and prospect of lignocelluloses waste material, i.e. mixtured wood sawdust as matrix in composting human excreta using Biotoilet. Initially, 26.4 kg mixtured wood sawdust (+4/-32 mesh) moisture 11.84% was filled into Biotoilet chamber, and added with 20L tap water to achieve ±50% moisture. Mixer in Biotoilet was adjusted to run-on intermittently with interval 15 min, each for 2 min, i.e. 1 min to clockwise and counter-clockwise, respectively. Exhaust fan with flow rate of 0.04m3.sec-1 was operated continuously to ensure proper aeration. Human excreta were loaded daily to Biotoilet chamber for 90 days which would be composted. Data showed that temperature of composting system was 25.70-43.67oC. Moisture was 22.27-53.20% and pH 6.20-7.00. C/N ratio composted residual sawdust was 25:1. Ash, N, P, and K content were 11.78; 1.78; 0.85; and 0.95%, respectively. Bad odor was not created during composting. It was concluded mixtured wood sawdust could be used as matrix for composting human excreta. The compost could be categorized into Class-A that safe for food and non-food plant. Application of mixture wood sawdust as matrix in Biotoilet for composting human excreta could improve sanitation, prevent water degradation, at once increase soil quality for agricultural.

Abstract

The aim of this experiments were to examine the effect of ozonizotion on COD and BOD5 value of wastewater from a detergent manufacturer and to put forward the efficiency of COD and BOD5 removal as a function of the ozonization. It has been known that the detergent industry produces wastewater with high concentration of both COD and BOD5. The observation showed that the ozonization alone was not a practical approachfor COD and BOD5 removal. However, the role of ozonization as a preliminary process before the biological one seems to be significant.

Abstract

The rapid industrialization of the poultry sector has led to significant environmental challenges, including nutrient pollution, odor, and greenhouse gas emissions from improper manure management. This study explores the potential of chicken manure waste gasification as a sustainable solution for renewable energy production while addressing waste disposal issues. Utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations in ANSYS Fluent software, the research investigates updraft and downdraft gasification processes under varying operational conditions, including air flow velocity and temperature. The simulation model demonstrated high accuracy in predicting syngas composition, with average errors of 0.1657% at 580°C and 0.0969% at 680°C, validating its reliability. The optimal dimensions for updraft (30 cm diameter, 40 cm height) and downdraft (16.5 cm diameter, 60 cm height) gasifiers were determined to align with industry standards. Results revealed that air flow velocity significantly influenced syngas composition; moderate increases enhanced CO production in updraft configurations, while excessive airflow in downdraft setups reduced CO concentration due to over-oxidation. Temperature optimization further improved syngas quality, with higher temperatures (800°C) increasing CO and H₂ concentrations. The H₂/CO ratio remained stable under updraft conditions but exhibited more significant variability in downdraft setups due to differences in reaction kinetics and flow dynamics. These findings highlight the importance of precise control over operational parameters to optimize syngas yield and composition for energy applications. Future work should focus on refining simulation models, exploring diverse feedstocks, and enhancing process efficiency to advance sustainable waste-to-energy technologies.
