An internal mixer prepared the polymer blends and composites, and then samples were molded by compression molding. The results found that the dispersed phase of an EPDM phase was coalescence to droplets on the PLA matrix phase. The micro-cellulose in the polymer was not a homogeneous phase in the polymer matrix. The mechanical properties of polymer blends found that EPDM could improve the strain at break of PLA/EPDM blends when compared with pure PLA and decreased when increasing cellulose fiber content in the polymer matrix.

We propose in this paper to produce oil sorbent for oil-water separation from waste rice straw fibers. Rice straw cellulose were extracted using 5 wt.% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at 90 °C for 2 hours. After washing with water, rice straw fibers were tested with litmus paper until pH was neutral. A 20-minute boil was applied to sticky rice flour and water. A strainer was placed on the boiling sticky rice flour. Rice straw fibers were delicately spun, placed in the sieve, and dried at 60 °C for 24 hours. The identification of rice straw cellulose was accomplished through the utilization of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In order to evaluate the oil absorption capacity, it is necessary to introduce rice straw into a designated container. Adsorption was measured at time intervals of 10, 20, and 30 minutes. Cease the act of quantifying temporal intervals beyond the predetermined duration. Extract the specimen from its receptacle and proceed to measure its weight. To maximize the %adsorption, the oil sorbent weight, adsorption time, and contact area were considered. The maximum adsorption capacity of 175.67% was obtained by optimizing the following parameters: oil sorbent weight of 30.10 g, adsorption time of 30 min, and contact area of 6.25 cm2. The oil sorbent, which uses waste rice straw fibers as raw materials, may have a good application possibility in the remediation of oil spills, industrial waste water, and waste water from households.","PeriodicalId":511802,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Science and Technology","volume":"29 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140667640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The risk of oil spills causing marine pollution has increased as a result of these activities. Adsorption is a cost-effective and straightforward method for removing contaminants from water. The use of residuals as adsorbents can improve the process's sustainability and cost-effectiveness. This study suggests using eggshells as an oil adsorbent. Eggshells were cleaned with water and dried in sunlight. Heated treatment in an oven at 70 °C for 1 hour followed by careful grinding. Overall, the specimen was filtered through a 60-200 mesh sieve (74-250 mm). X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to characterize the eggshell. The results revealed that eggshell is composed of calcium (Ca) at a 98.46 atomic percent concentration. The highest palm oil adsorption capacity of 38.01 mL was achieved by optimizing the following parameters: adsorption time of 26.15 min, agitation speed of 357.62 rpm, and weight of adsorbent, which was 19.98 g. The findings demonstrated that eggshell is an effective biosorbent for the removal of oil from water. It will offer a low-cost method of cleaning the oily and contaminated water environment, thereby protecting both human health and the lives of aquatic organisms.","PeriodicalId":511802,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Science and Technology","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140668775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lignin contents the PLA matrix were 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 phr and the improvement of lignin properties by using AKD in ratio 10:1 of lignin and AKD is caused by the reaction between the AKD and the OH group of lignin to from bond called β-ketone ester bond. The treatment of lignin with AKD showed the increase of hydrophobicity and good dispersion in PLA. SEM results of PLA/lignin and PLA/lignin treated AKD showed that when the lignin content increased, the surface roughness was observed except 0.5 phr of PLA/lignin treated AKD composites. The lignin addition decreased the tensile strength of PLA/lignin composites, whereas the PLA/lignin treated AKD at 0.5 phr had similar mechanical properties with neat PLA.

In particular, EGAT's power facilities presently employ such stations for air quality assessment. The use of drones for air quality measurements reduces the variability of measurements and can determine the primary source of the air pollution. Therefore, the air quality monitoring system by unmanned aerial vehicles or drones will be a guideline that can be used to effectively reduce the time and cost of air quality monitoring in and around EGAT's power plants. The objective of this endeavor is to engineer a drone system integrated with specialized sensors for the purpose of real-time monitoring and data acquisition of air quality parameters, with results seamlessly relayed to an Internet of Things (IoT) platform. Applying drone is successful to implement air quality monitoring which parameters are PM2.5 and PM10. This drone can monitor particulate matter at both PM2.5 and PM10 concentration while this monitoring data is recorded and sent to an IOT platform, called Things.egat.co.th platform. In this experiment, the result shows that the air quality data from drone is comparable with the data of EGAT’s air quality mobile station. The results of PM2.5 and PM10 concentration were real-time displayed in the dashboard as graphs. This graphical interface facilitates comparisons over time, accessible via mobile phones or computers with uninterrupted internet connectivity. The average relative errors for PM concentrations measured by the cost-effective air quality monitoring drone systems stand at 7%, signifying a reliable means for monitoring particulate matter within an atmospheric context. It is therefore, established that this advancement in drone technology for Air Quality Monitoring attains the status of low-cost prototype of particulate matter monitoring drone system tailored for EGAT.","PeriodicalId":511802,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Science and Technology","volume":"53 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140666182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further investigation was conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The transesterification procedure was carried out applying response surface methodology (RSM) based on box-Behnken design (BBD). The BBD experimental design was employed, and the 3 process parameters investigated were catalyst concentration (3-5 wt.%), methanol/oil mole ratio (12-18), and reaction time (60-120 min). Experiments conducted under the optimal conditions predicted yielded over 97%, which was in excellent agreement with the expected value (a relatively small margin of error).
