Mini blast furnace ironmaking projects have been constructed to meet the demand of domestic steel in Malaysia. However, Malaysia only has low grade iron ore instead of commercially high grade ore as raw material. The use of low grade ore will cause in extra energy consumption to release combined water in the ore. Palm oil industry releases a lot of

A research has been conducted on liquid state bioconversion for the production of citric acid using Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) sludge as main substrate and added with sucrose as co-substrate. Three parameters were examined as to determine the best process optimization conducted in two liter (2L) bioreactor. Two level factorial designs with three
