Characterization of bio-oil from palm kernel shell pyrolysis
(Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Pahang, 2014-12-01)Pyrolysis of palm kernel shell in a fixed-bed reactor was studied in this paper. The objectives were to investigate the effect of pyrolysis temperature and particle size on the products yield and to characterize the bio-oil ... -
Comprehensive review and compilation of treatment for azo dyes using microbial fuel cells
(Water Environment Federation, 2013-03)Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent an emerging technology that focuses on power generation and effluent treatment. This review compiles articles related to MFCs using azo dye as the substrate. The significance of the ... -
Degradation of synthetic dye wastewater by using combined anaerobic-aerobic and aerobic sequencing batch reactors
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)Azo dyes are the dye used by the majority of the textile industries. The treatment options for this azo dye are physical, chemical and biological methods. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of dye ... -
Effect of dolomite on pyrolysis of rice straw
(2013)A study of catalytic pyrolysis on rice straw was carried out in a fixed-bed reactor. The objectives were to determine the effect of dolomite catalyst on the distribution of product yield and bio-oil characterization. The ... -
Human health risk assessment of chlorinated disinfection by-products in drinking water using a probabilistic approach
(Elsevier Limited, 2008-07)The presence of chlorinated disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water is a public health issue, due to their possible adverse health effects on humans. To gauge the risk of chlorinated DBPs on human health, a risk ... -
Mechanism of turbidity and hardness removal in hard water sources by using Moringa oleifera
(Asian Network for Scientific, 2011)The objective of this study was to describe the mechanism of simultaneous removal of hardness and background turbidity in hard water for drinking water purpose by using Moringa oleifera (MO) that extracted with 1.0 M sodium ... -
Performance evaluation of okra (abelmoschus esculentus) as coagulant for turbidity removal in water treatment
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of turbidity removal in water by using Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) as natural coagulant. The coagulation active agent in various Okra sections was extracted with ... -
Thermogravimetric analysis and the optimisation of bio-oil yield from fixed-bed pyrolysis of rice husk using response surface methodology (RSM)
