Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the possibility of using Chitosan, a bio polymer for the removal of fat originated from coconut milk. Identification of optimum parametric conditions for fat adsorptivity was ...

Torrifaction is a thermochemical process used to enhance the energy content of biomass. This study is based on torrefaction of wood materials with different qualities. The suitable ranges of temperatures for torrefaction ...

Seven anaerobic batch reactors were run varying the Desiccated Coconut wastewater (DC) to Food Waste (FW) ratio at room temperature and the daily gas production and CH4 content was determined. Mono digestion of DC ...

A relation between the particle size and excess air flow rate for packed bed combustion of biomass has been the objective of this research project. Particles of square cubes of different dimensions and different air flow ...

Silica-filled rubber compounds has a high demand for making white and colored rubber products. Silica-filler has high reinforcing ability compared to other white-fillers. Traditionally, polyethylene glycol (PEG) is used ...

Microalgae have been identified as a potential source for biofuel production by the researches. Cell disruption and chlorophyll removal of microalgae biomass are the most critical factors, which determine the lipid extraction ...

The improvement of combustion quality of rice husk can be achieved by water washing as pre-treatment. Particle size and temperature are important parameters to consider when washing biomass. Conductivity of the washing ...

Haemotococcus pluvalis is a microalgae specie which is recognized as a potential source of astaxanthin accumulation. By selecting two governing cultivation parameters in the form of illumination and initial phosphorous ...

Drying characteristics of 2 types of parboiled paddy (“Nadu” & “Samba”) was investigated in a packed bed dryer. Drying experiments for both paddy types were carried out at three different hot air temperatures 35oC, 45oC ...
