Nano Scale Surface Characterization of Poly Ethyleneterephthalate Silicon Rubber Copolymers using Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic force microscopy has been used to investigated the surface properties of different materials, in this paper it is used to measure the surface roughness and surface adhesive force of three different membrane samples Poly ethyleneterephthalate PET , Silicon Rubber SR and PET SRcopolymers. This analytical method allows images representing the topography and adhesive force Phase image of the surface to be captured simultaneously at a molecular nanometer resolution. The distribution of hydrophilic polar groups and the surface roughness on the investigated surfaces ofthese membrane samples influences the subsequent processing of polymeric membrane manufacture as well as their performance. From the results a clear distinction was observed between the three samples in both images the topography surface roughness images and adhesive force images. Promising result were obtained for the PET SRcopolymer samples to be a good candidate in membrane separation applications. This study may also help to explain the differences in membrane performances and efficiency during applications in the separation process.

Ways of Utilization of Dust from Cement Plants

The article discusses the properties of crushed stone lime asphalt concrete and the conditions for obtaining a high quality road surface during its application. The results of the study of replacing mineral powder in crushed stone asphalt concrete with dust, dust from cement plants and dust from pyrite slag, as well as a study of the stability of the quality of bitumen in time to normal and high temperatures are described. However, the selected areas of using cement plant dust cannot be considered particularly promising, since in the above methods, cement plant dust is easily replaced by chalk and limestone. In this regard, it is more promising to use dust from cement plants to obtain nitrogen calcium fertilizers, mainly containing calcium nitrate.

Dynamic Heat Transfer modeling, and Simulation of Biomass Fermentation during Beer Processing

The study focuses on the modeling of the temperature profile during the fermentation of beer and the selection of the modelled temperature to simulate the growth of a microorganism, the consumption of proteins and the formation of aromatic compounds ketone and esters . The objective of the study was to determine how to select the best temperature for beer fermentation and how a portion of the biochemical reaction occurs with the controlled selected temperature. Finite element modelling has been used for heat transfer modelling and COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.3 has been used for implementation. Version 17 of MATLAB was used to simulate biochemical changes with the chosen temperature. The simulated results showed that at high coolant flow, a low temperature profile was recorded over the fermentation time. As such, the observed temperatures were 1.2m3 hr, 1.3m3 hr and 1.6m3 h, 20 oC, 18 oC and 12.5 oC, respectively. The modelled vorticity results also indicated that at a flow rate of 1.2m3 hr, there was a consistent flow of liquid around the agitation center relative to other coolant flows. Isoleucine was exhausted after 13hr at 12.5°C, 80hr at 18°C and 16hr at 20°C from the start of fermentation. The simulated results also indicated that ethyl acetate had reached a hold back value of 0.114mol m3 at 70hr at 12.5oC, 30hr at 18oC, and 22hr at 20oC. However, isoamyl acetate retained a retention value of 0.0105 mol m3 until the initial concentration of sugar and amino acids was exhausted throughout fermentation at all selected temperatures. Valine decreased to nearly 195hr at 12.5°C, 120hr at 18°C and 85hr at 20°C. The simulated nutrient results were again shown to be zero in 210hr at 12.5°C, 110hr at 18°C and 90hr at 20°C of luicine consumption.

Design, Performance Evaluation and Synthesis of Sulfonated Carbon Based Catalyst for Hydrolysis of Microcrystalline Cellulose

Microcrystalline cellulose can be converted into valuable products such as glucose via hydrolysis reaction at mild condition using sulfonated carbon catalyst. A sulfonated carbon material was prepared by carbonization of bamboo sawdust followed by sulfonation. Prepared catalyst was studied for its ability to catalyze microcrystalline cellulose yield via hydrolysis reaction. Three carbon based catalysts at three different temperatures 400, 450 and 500 were prepared. The sulfonated catalysts were characterized using the following analyses elemental analysis, total acid density, FT IR, SEM and XRD. Based on the above characterization results, sulfonated carbon prepared at 500 and sulfonated via ultra sonication was found to have a higher acid density that is suitable to catalyze the hydrolysis reaction. The first step in the catalyst development approach was to increase the hydrolysis reaction by employing a stronger sulfonation procedure during catalyst preparation. The total acid density obtained for sulfonated carbon catalyst at 500 was 4.16 mmol g which significantly increases glucose yield. According to the FTIR analysis the sulfonated bio char contained sulfonic, carboxylic, and phenolic groups, which are responsible for the exhibited high catalytic performance during hydrolysis of cellulose. The yield of glucose obtained was 60.5 at 149.0°C in 8hour reaction time.

Preparation of Bioethanol from Brown Seaweed Sargassum Sp.

In this study, brown seaweed Sargassum sp. was used to produce bioethanol by using enzymatic liquefaction and saccharification method. Bioethanol from brown seaweed Sargassum sp. was more commercial than using any other starch based raw materials because it can be easily collected on Chaung Tha beach in Myanmar without any impact on environment. In this regard, the productivity of bioethanol from brown seaweed Sargassum sp. was determined by separate hydrolysis and fermentation SHF with yeasts. Two types of yeasts were used. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used for glucose fermentation in brown seaweed and selected nitrogen fixing yeast isolate N3,N18,N24 were used for mannitol fermentation which consist plenty in brown seaweed. The effects of enzymatic liquefaction, enzymatic saccharification and fermentation on this sample were studied. From the fermentation studies, brown seaweed Sargassum sp. gave the ethanol percent by weight of 2.56 using Saccharomyces cerevisiae only and 4.1 by using mixture of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and selected nitrogen fixing yeast isolate. The maximum yield of crude ethanol was 32.5 by fermentating yeast mixture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and nitrogen fixing yeast isolate. When it was fermented by just only Saccharomyces cerevisiae, yield of crude ethanol percent was 20.3.

Potential of Neem Leaf Powder as Bio Adsorbents for Dye Colour Removal

In this study, two types of eco friendly and low cost bio adsorbents, Neem leaf powder NLP and acid treated Neem leaf powder TNLP were prepared for the removal of dye color from Congo red solution. The physicochemical parameters of the prepared absorbents were measured. The structural features of these absorbents were analyzed by FTIR, XRD, and SEM. These experiments were conducted with different process parameters such as adsorbent dosage and agitating time using batch adsorption method. Firstly, the dosage amount of adsorbents was optimized for constant shaking for one hour and it was observed that the maximum percent adsorption was found at 91 of 0.4 g for NLP and 76 of 0.4 g for TNLP. The optimum dosage amount of adsorbents, 0.4 g was selected for further study. After optimizing the adsorbent dosage, the optimum agitating time was observed at 60 min with the percent removal of 91 for NLP and 76 for TNLP. From this research, it was observed that NLP and TNLP can be used as bio adsorbents to remove the color of the dye solution.

Electronegativity A Force or Energy


Electronegativity as force or energy leads to new ansatz at critical point in binding or bonding state in between two similar atoms or dissimilar atoms. Electronegativity as a quantum mechanical entity energy or non quantum entity force is yet to be answered. The dual approach to electronegativity has been discussed in this paper. The aim of this paper is to prove that Electronegativity as Hellman Feynman Force is more accurate and absolute. Electronegativity has been computed using the Hartree Fock and Rothan Hrtree Fock energy equations and equivalent electrostatic force equation.

Removal of Pb II from Aqueous Solutions using Activated Carbon Prepared from Garlic Waste

The recent study explains about the removal of Pb II ions from aqueous solution using activated carbon prepared from Garlic waste. Garlic peels have been used for the production of Carbon by treating with conc.H2SO4 for metal ions removal. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Boehm titration have been used for various physicochemical characterization of the outcome of activated carbon which proclaimed the presence of oxygen containing surface functional groups like phenolic, lactonic and carboxylic in the carbons. In a batch adsorption process the effect of pH and initial metal ion concentration was calculated. The optimum pH for lead adsorption is found to be equal to 6.The resultant activated carbon showed maximum adsorption capacity of Pb II was 210 mg g 1. The waste material which is used in this work is cost effective and easily available for the production of activated carbon. Hence the removal of Pb II from water using the carbons prepared from Garlic peels can act as possible low cost adsorbents for the removal of Pb II from water.

Synthesis and Characterization of Magnesium Borate via Sol Gel Method and Electrospinning Method

The sol gel and electrospinning techniques were used to prepare the magnesium borate polyvinyl alcohol composite. The fibers of magnesium borate about 150 nm diameters, were synthesized from the inorganic organic composite fibers by high temperature calcination process. The synthesized magnesium borate nanofibers were structurally investigated by thermogravimetric differential thermal analysis TG DTA , Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT IR , X ray diffractometry XRD and Scanning electron microscopy SEM , respectively. Due to the Mg modification of the B2O3 network, incomplete crystallization of the samples was observed when heat treated at 800 °C. But, completely crystalline fibers were obtained after calcined at 1200 ° C.

Palm Karnel Shell Ash as a Partial Replacement for Cement in the Production of Paving Blocks


Palm kernel shell is known for its similar mineral element with cement and little binding ability in ash form. This research presents a report on the study of the material properties of paving block by inclusion of Palm Kernel Shell Ash (PKSA) as partial replacement for cement, to know the optimum replacement without falling below minimum breaking strength to which Paving blocks can still be produced. In achieving this, a mix of 1:1.5:3 with a 0.5 w/c was used throughout the production with PKSA replacing cement for 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% for 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, and 28 days considered in the test for compressive, and tensile strength and 7 days, 21 days, and 28 days for flexural strength for all percentages. 


The findings revealed that 10% cement replacement yielded an optimum strength increase of 6%, 9%, 6% and 5% for compressive strength; 5%, 8%, 13% and 3% for split tensile strength for the curing days respectively. In addition, 4% increase in flexural strength for 7 days curing with no significant increase for 21 and 28 days curing. On the overall, the research revealed that PKSA inclusion as partial replacement for cement as binder in paving block making resulted in cost reduction of about 3.3% savings
