Review on the various ash from palm oil waste as geopolymer material
(Advanced Study Center Co. Ltd., 2013)The solid waste from palm oil mill industry has been increasing annually where it has been reported that the palm oil waste was produced 4 million tons/years in Malaysia only. Hence, the solution to overcome the problems ... -
Production of methane gas from organic fraction municipal solid waste (OFMSW) via anaerobic process: Application methodology for the Malaysian condition
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2013)Solid waste management in Malaysia is confronted with many problems, including low collection coverage, irregular collection services, inadequate equipment used for waste collection, crude open dumping and burning without ... -
An evaluation of overstrength factor of seismic designed low rise RC buildings
(Elsevier, 2013)This study investigates the overstrength factor of reinforced concrete frame designed according to EC2 and EC8. There are two families of building considered in this study, i.e: regular and irregular in elevation with ... -
Natural rubber/styrene butadiene rubber/recycled nitrile glove (NR/SBR/rNBRg) ternary blend: Tensile properties & morphology
(AENSI Publisher All rights reserved, 2013-10)Recycling waste rubber products by utilising them in rubber blends had provided the simplest and most cost-effective ways in solving several environmental issues regarding the abundance of scrap rubbers. Discarded nitrile ... -
Methane gas production from palm oil wastewater - An anaerobic methanogenic degradation process in continuous stirrer suspended closed anaerobic reactor
(Elsevier, 2014-05)Methane gas (CH4) production from the anaerobic methanogenesis degradation of palm oil wastewater was carried out in laboratory continuous stirrer suspended closed anaerobic reactor (SCAR) at mesophilic temperature of 35 ... -
Mechanical performances of fly ash geopolymer bricks
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01)Geopolymer is a new class of three-dimensionally networked amorphous to semi-crystalline alumino-silicate materials, and first developed by Professor Davidovits in 1978. Geopolymers can be synthesized by mixing alumino-silicate ... -
A study on Hydrogen Sulphide as potential tracer in landfill gas monitoring
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are one of the major source of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) which is the offensive odours potentially creating annoyance in adjacent communities. This project focuses on H2S emission from ... -
Characterization of nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) and its application in sono-Fenton process to remove COD in palm oil mill effluent
(Elsevier, 2014-03)Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) has received great attention for its capability to treat wastewater. One of its applications is in an advanced oxidation process (AOP) called the sono-Fenton process. This study presents the ... -
