By definition, penetrant testing (PT) is the resurgence of a liquid (or a gas) from a discontinuity in which it had previously been introduced during a penetration operation. A logical extension of the visual examination, this method makes it possible to detect discontinuities opened to the surface of the controlled part in the form of colored or... Continue Reading

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Water is a limited natural resource and fundamental for life and  health  (UNWWDR,  2002). About 97.5% of all water on earth is salt water and the remaining 2.5% is fresh water. Around 70% of fresh water is frozen in... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  Production of carbon black from novel sources like spent automobile tyre, anthracite coal, furnace soot and graphite rod and subsequent use in the production of offset printing inks has been investigated. Carbon black from these sources were obtained by pyrolysis of shredded spent tyre and coal samples at 750-900o C in an electrical... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT In the current study, coconut husk, a lignocellulosic biomass, was employed as the feedstock for production of bioethanol. The powderised coconut husks were subjected to thermal pretreatment, chemical pretreatment and microwave-assisted-alkaline (MAA) pretreatment... Continue Reading

Abstract: The purpose of this study is the preparation of activated carbon using a suitable industrial sludge. The characterization of two types of industrial sludges showed that paper sludge was a better option over rice husk. The activated carbon produced from pyrolysis of paper mill sludge was chemically activated with various activating... Continue Reading
