Presently, a 3.8 MWth DFB steam gasifier plant for electricity production has been installed in Nongbua district, Nakhonsawan province in Thailand. This is the only commercial dual fluidized bed system in Thailand at present time. To optimize the operation conditions of the DFB gasifier system, bed materials and their catalytic activity were investigated as it affects the steam gasification reactions and thus the system performance. The unused and used bed materials were preliminary analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The results showed better gasifier performance were achieved when calcium was presented on the olivine, which was re-activated in the DFB gasifier after certain period of time.","PeriodicalId":6536,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":"34 1","pages":"23-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77754749","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}

On the other hand, biodiesel as a fuel has a problem caused by its instability against oxidative degradation. This reaction might decrease the quality of biodiesel as the product of the reaction potentially harm the diesel engine during combustion. Therefore, antioxidant additive should be added to biodiesel to prevent the oxidative degradation. Among several phenolic antioxidants, pyrogallol has been known/mentioned as one of the best antioxidant additive for biodiesel. However, the solubility of pyrogallol in biodiesel is relatively low. In the previous study, the addition of alkyl group to pyrogallol’s benzene ring has been done in order to increase the solubility of pyrogallol in biodiesel. Pyrogallol was reacted with methyl linoleate through oxidative coupling reaction using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhidazyl (DPPH) resulting a new synthesized product. Unfortunately, the reaction resulted a mixture of products containing unreacted pyrogallol, DPPH, dimer of pyrogallol, and low concentration of the synthesized product. The synthesized product was separated from the mixture to get the higher concentration. The difference in molecular size led to the separation of synthesized product from the mixture through molecular sieve zeolites. Zeolites has been widely used as molecular sieve to separate the mixture based on molecular size. In this research, the product mixture was separated based on the molecular size through adsorption using 3 types of zeolites which has different pore sizes: SAPO34 (4Å), Na-Y (7Å) and 13X(10Å). The result confirmed that different pore size of zeolites could successfully separate the synthesized product from other components in the mixture.","PeriodicalId":6536,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":"48 1","pages":"19-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76902471","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}

World Green Building Council reports that buildings contribute to 33% of carbon dioxide emission, 17% of water consumption, 25% of wood consumption, 30–40% of raw materials consumption, and 40–50% energy consumption in its construction and operation. Based on those facts, therefore, an environmentally sound development should consider building energy consumption. Green Building concept is being trusted as a way to solve this issue, but the local authority of Indonesia lacks of green criteria assessment for vertical housing. Through this study, it is expected to obtain some simple categories about green building concept for vertical housing. The methodology of this study, uses qulitative analysis by collecting perception from some respondents thhrough various ages and professions. The data is collected through online quetionnaire. The data determines to some key words and categories to see the distribution and corespondence on each answer. The result shows that respondents considered the Indoor comfortability and outdoor management being the important criteria that must be noticed on implementing green building design concept in vertical housing.

In fourth phase the experiment was carried out with water for 1.5 lpm, 2 lpm and 2.5 lpm and the performance of collector was analyzed.

The current study is focused on the catalytic hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,2-propanediol over Ru supported on NaY-Zeolite catalyst via a sustainable route. The catalysts with variable Ru loading (1-5wt%) synthesized by wetness impregnation method were tested for the selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol in a continuous fixed bed reactor at atmospheric pressure and moderate temperatures (160-240 °C). The physicochemical properties of the catalytic materials have been characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM-EDX techniques. It was observed that the synthesized catalyst remained stable and retained the high crystallinity upon increasing Ru loading and the stretching vibrations of the silica-alumina structure exhibited no difference before and after metal impregnation. Reaction parametric studies performed to compare the effect of calcination and reaction temperature on the catalytic performance during glycerol hydrogenolysis suggested that calcined catalyst has better activity towards glycerol conversion as compared to that of the uncalcined catalyst. Optimization of other reaction parameters such as metal loading, catalyst weight, glycerol concentration, glycerol flow rate as well as hydrogen flow rate is expected to elevate the selectivity towards 1,2-propanediol to a greater extent.","PeriodicalId":6536,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":"24 1","pages":"14-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81378925","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}

So it has great significance for the basic research, the development of electronic industry and the electric vehicle to carry out the supercapacitor electrode materials [3]. Here, we firstly prepared the activated carbon materials by carbonizing, activating the biological material, then prepared the nickel hydroxide/activated carbon composites by direct precipitation method, and studied the electrochemical properties of composite materials with different nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)2) contents (the mass fraction). The results of cyclic voltammetry and constant current charge-discharge are that a small amount of Ni(OH)2 are mixed in the carbon surface and pores, the composite material has a good specific capacitance, stability, charging and discharging performance compared with the activated carbon. When the mass fraction of Ni(OH)2 is 12%, the supercapacitor exhibits the excellent electrochemical properties, its capacitance is up to 400.78F/g which improved 75.21% compared with the activated carbon’s capacitance (228.74F/g). 6mol/L potassium hydroxide (KOH) is used as an electrolyte, the capacitance is only reduced to 94.42% after conducting 1000 times cycle life tests.

Two criteria had been considered in case of glazings ie light transmittance and heat gain; however one factor have to be compromised for the other.
