[Conference-Extended-Abstract]
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]This research was done for temperature control of a reactor with high thermal inertia. The reactor chamber temperature is required to be critically controlled at 3000C. A non-linear thermodynamic model was developed, ...
-
Life cycle assessment-based process analysis for fuel-grade bioethanol production using rice straw [Conference-Extended-Abstract]Rice straw is a major biomass residue from rice cultivation, which reaches to a world average of 740 million tonnes/year generation. Open burning of rice straw in paddy fields is the common practice, which could result ...
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]Using rice straw for combustion in boilers has been quite effective and productive despite the drawbacks created by the ash content, which causes a range of severe ash related problems upon combustion such as slag ...
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]The present studies examine the performance of cementitious capillary crystalline waterproofing coating(CCCW) with Saltwater. As Sri Lanka is a developing country, many underground constructions are being built in ...
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]Hydrogen is as an energy source with clean combustion. Conventional hydrogen production technologies from hydrocarbons could have carbon emissions in the fuel cells. Ammonia decomposition can be considered as a carbon-free ...
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]Biomass torrefaction is a thermochemical pretreatment process at a temperature range of 200-3000C in an inert environment. Moisture and hemicellulose are released during the process resulting in an energy densified ...
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]The objective of this research was to perform a process simulation for the production of DMF from rice straw and to analyze the process engineering aspects such as equipment type and catalysts to be used for the ...
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]Lab-scale packed bed reactive distillation column was utilized to evaluate the performance of reactive distillation for the reaction between isopropyl alcohol and acetic acid. Two different packing materials and different ...
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]Microaeration is a stratergy applied during anaerobic conversion to improve treatment efficicency. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of microaeration on a combined effect of sulphate and ammonia ...
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]The adsorbent fly ash-clay composite was tested for the treatment of automobile service station wastewater. Batch experiments were conducted to establish the adsorption column parameters which were optimum fly ash to ...
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]Single-use biodegradable bags have been recently introduced as an environmental-benign alternative to conventional plastics while addressing a prevailing global issue. Natural corn starch is often used as the key raw ...
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]Textile dyes in wastewater can be removed by several methods including adsorption. In this study, batch experiments were conducted to determine the possibility of the removal of Basic Red 18 (BR18) textile dye from ...
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]Complicated and changeable weather conditions and contamination from fungi, protozoa and bacteria increase difficulties in outdoor microalgae cultivation. In this paper, outdoor microalgae cultivation was investigated ...
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]Mineral carbonation of CO2 using coal fly ash (CFA) is identified as a promising way of mitigating carbon emissions safely and permanently with a low material cost. However, the available literature has been limited ...
-
[Conference-Extended-Abstract]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 ...
