Abstract

The Chemical products factories encounter inherent environmental risks in the process. The indoor release of hazardous chemical gases that are heavier than the air is nowadays a special subject for scrutiny because the dense clouds of the gas have a tendency to insist on the ground level or near the human breath level, causing fatal injuries or other potential health threats to human beings. In this study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code FLUENT was employed in order to model the accidental indoor dispersion of a dense gas (chlorine) from a small undetected leak in an indoor industrial environment. Furthermore, the effects of different temperatures, wind velocities and ventilation on diffusion of chlorine are investigated in this paper. Results of the simulations represented that the chlorine gas dispersion would behave like the liquid and currents on the floor. It was also found that the chlorine concentration above the ground level increased slowly. Showing the effects of various temperatures and wind on spreading the dense gas will help to better identify the potential risks. In this research, the effects of the environmental situations with the release and spread of chlorine in the indoor space were meticulously investigated.

Abstract

Natural gas hydrates are non-stoichiometry compounds, in which the molecules of gas are trapped in crystalline cells consisting of water molecules retained by energy of hydrogen bonds. The experiments of Methane hydrate formation are performed at constant temperature in a reactor filled with various sizes of glass beads and water. Methane gas was fed into the reactor at various initial pressures. Equilibrium condition was reached when the system pressure did not change. The experimental results showed that the size of the glass beads gave very small effect on the equilibrium pressure of methane hydrate formation, so the effect could be neglected. In this study, the equation of Langmuir constant was Ci,CH4=(1/RT)exp[A+(B/T)] with the values of A and B for small cages were 6.8465 and 18.0342. The values of A and B for large cages were 7.7598 and 18.0361

Abstract

Bagasse, a waste material from sugarcane has been studied as a biosorbent for removing heavy metals, Pb2+ and Cu2+, in a continuous system using a packed bed column. This study was undertaken to determine the influence of varying the bed height and flow rate on the breakthrough and saturation time. Thomas, Adams-Bohart and Yoon-Nelson models were used to assess the effects of varying parameters and both Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models were found to be satisfactory to describe the column data obtained in the experiment. Moreover, lead ions are adsorbed more efficiently with an adsorption capacity of 4.54 mg/g compared to copper ions with 3.98 mg/g at the most feasible parameters having a flow rate of 100 mL/min and a bed height of 30 cm

Abstract

In this investigation, municipal sewage sludge was used as a lipid feedstock. Two stage extraction processes was developed to obtain good yield of lipid content. The maximum lipid yields 32.5% was achieved from chloroform: methanol solvents through optimum conditions of 2:1 ratio, 50oC temp for 30 min. The lipid content was characterized by TLC analysis. The lipid properties were analyzed and proved as a lipid. Hence, municipal sewage sludge serves as a valuable raw material for lipid production

Abstract

Azo dyes are synthetic organic dyes which have azo group (-N=N-) as chromophore. Waste of azo dyes have not been able to overcome completely so that requires solutions of natural dye. Raw material of natural dye can be obtained from Swietenia mahagoni. Natural dye can be extracted by ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method. The pupose of this research is to study the factor that influence UAE. Observed factor is influence of extraction temperature to the yield of natural dye. This research was conducted using ratio of material to solvent of 0.05 g/L with extraction time at 40 minute. Extraction temperature was observed at 30, 40, and 50oC. Ultrasonic wave that used for this research at 40 kHz. The result is increasing temperature will be allow the increasing trend of yield. The result indicate that there is about 9.2748% improvement in the yield of extract due to increasing extraction temperature from 30oC to 50oC

Abstract

A fermentation process to produce soft-texture and low cyanogenic content cassava flour had been studied, in particular the effects of temperature, circulation of the fermentation media, and chips size, on fermented cassava flour (fercaf) properties. Fermentation was shown to affect properties of cassava flour: reducing the cyanogenic content, swelling power, as well as solubility, whereas on the other hand increasing the amylose content and correspondingly the measured DE. Further, the properties of the produced flour were affected by the implemented fermentation operation conditions. Fermentation temperature was found to significantly affect amylose content. Media circulation was found to significantly affect the measured Dextrose Equivalent. On the other hand, the size of cassava chips significantly affected the cyanogenic content and solubility of the flour
