Contaminants’ immobilisation of incinerated air pollution control residue and rubber sludge using respectively Calcium Aluminate cement and ordinary portland cement with rice husk ash via stabilisation/solidification technique
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2014)Treatment of incinerated wastes has become a challenge as the production of these wastes increased each year which become source of hazard to human and ecosystem. Corresponded to that, the first stage of experiment was ... -
Development of integrated anaerobic-aerobic bioreactors for the complete degradation of synthetic wastewater containing mono and diazo dye
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2014)Dyes are carcinogenic and mutagenic nature. Eco-friendly, economical and not producing secondary pollutants are the merits of the biological treatment for azo dye than other methods. Purely anaerobic or aerobic treatment ... -
Removal of dyes from industrial effluents using combination of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) and biological treatment
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2014)Nowadays, the removal of dyes from industrial effluents is still far away to a satisfactory solution. Even though the AOPs are known strong technologies for wastewater treatment, it still requires further advancement and ... -
Productionof catalytic and non-catalytic gases from pyrolysis of municipal solid waste (MSW)
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2012)Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is primarily waste produced by the household, but also includes some commercial and industrial waste that is similar in nature to household waste and has been deposited in municipal landfill ... -
The effect combination of acid treatments for silicon carbide (SiC) production from rice straw
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2011)Rice straw is an abundant and low cost agricultural waste with is locally available. On the basis of this study, it is concluded that 96.45 % silicon carbide pre-cursor can be produced by the process of pyrolysis of rice ... -
The potential of satellite imagery in soil compaction studies for implementation of precision farming
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2013)The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of satellite imagery and GIS (Geographic Information System) in soil compaction studies by investigating the spectral reflectance in producing soil compaction maps ... -
The production of lightweight aggregates using ordinary portland cement
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2013)The research study covers the production of lightweight aggregates using Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) without involved any heat treatment. The main aim of this research was to produce lightweight aggregate as artificial ... -
Extraction and characterization of coagulation active agent from moringa oleifera for turbidity and hardness removal in raw water sources
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2012)The objective of this study is to explore the capacity of the active agent that extracted from Moringa oleifera (MO) by various solutions for turbidity and hardness removal in raw water sources. The extracted active agent ... -
Carbon from agricultural waste as an adsorbent in the removal of chromium and nickel ions from aqueous solution
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Environmental Engineering, 2009)The objectives of this study were to produce carbon from sugarcane bagasse and rice straw by pyrolysis technique as an adsorbent for heavy metal removal and to determine the optimum condition with respect to contact time, ... -
The direct and catalytic pyrolysis of rice straw
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Environmental Engineering, 2010)A study of the catalytic pyrolysis on rice straw was carried out in a fixed-bed reactor. The work objectives were to determine the influences of pyrolysis parameters i.e pyrolysis temperature, heating rate and holding ...
