Tropical sapric peat soil with severe leaching problems and poor hydraulic conductivities was converted into a functional filter media via heat treatment at 500 °C for 3 hours and agglomerated with natural rubber latex. The optimum weight ratio of peat material to rubber latex was 10:1. The peat-rubber agglomerates (PRA) had improved hydraulic con

Experimental investigations were conducted to assess the influence of abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) process parameters on surface roughness (Ra) of glass fibre reinforced epoxy composites. The approach was based on Taguchi's method and analysis of variance (ANOVA) to optimize the AWJM process parameters for effective machining. It was fou

Homogenizer and ultrasonicator that we call as mechanical methods were used in the lab scale production of alcohol free reduced glutathione (alcohol free GSH) from baker’s yeast. The study was done to determine the effects of specific parameters of the methods and the pH of the medium on the production of the GSH. The cell disruptions were run at

Magnetic chitosan beads were prepared by 3 different weight ratios of Fe3O4 : chitosan, i.e. 1:1, 5:1 and 10:1, and were cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. Physical characterizations of the beads were carried out by scanning electron microscope (SEM), image analyzer, Fourier transformed infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and vibrating-sample magnetometer
