title: Estimation of environmental impacts of wood plastic composites (WPC)

description: The objectives of this study are to estimate and to compare the environmental impacts of wood-plastic composites (WPCs) based on poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) and polypropylene (PP). In this work, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used as an environmental tool for the evaluation. The system boundary is defined to include materials acquisition, transportation and production. The functional unit is defined as 1 kg of WPC produced. LCA software tool, Simpro 6.0 with Eco-Indicator 99 methods, is applied. From the results obtained, the environmental impacts of these two WPCs come mainly from the material acquisition and manufacturing phases. For WPC-PP/Sawdust, the environmental impacts are essentially from polypropylene production in the material acquisition phase which resulting in impact category of acidification, heavy metals and respiration f inorganic substances. For WPC-PVC/Sawdust, the impacts caused mainly from poly (vinyl chloride) which resulting in impact category of acidification, heavy metals and respiration of inorganic substances. It is also observed that the production of WPC-PVC/Sawdust creates the environmental impacts approximately 1.3 times higher than WPC-PP/Sawdust. Moreover, this research considers the suitable plant location by investigation of the environmental impacts from the transportation. Base on the results, the suitable manufacturing plant location for WPCs production should be located near market (customer) because the environmental impacts contributed from transportation when the factory is located close to market, are lower than that of when factory is located near raw material sources.

title: Extracting a 3D realizable line drawing object from a set of crossing lines

description: A new aspect of 3D realizability problem is studied. Given a 3D realizable object hidden under crossing lines, such lines in realizable object will be identified and extracted. In this dissertation, a rule-based approach algorithm is proposed to identify and extract a 3D realizable object from a given set of crossing lines. The proposed algorithm will be beneficial and applicable to obtain a 3D object in forms of a wired frame directly from its given 2D image. All the proposed rules are generated based on researching and studying characteristics of 3D realizable objects. The proposed algorithm consists of five main processes. In the first process, the significant junctions and significant segments are identified which result in a set of significant faces candidates of a 3D realizable object. The significant faces candidates are verified as the real significant faces in the second process using the first set of rules. In the third process, the essential junctions and essential segments are identified to be the potential essential faces. The second set of rules is applied in the forth process to verify the potential essential faces as the real essential faces. The remaining problem lines are verified by the final rule in the fifth process. The unused lines will be also considered before the identified 3D realizable object is extracted. The proposed algorithm is applied to 169 polyhedral line drawing images obtained from Varley's thesis. From the experiment, the algorithm correctly extracted all the relevant line segments and points up to 94.68%. The time complexity of the proposed algorithm is O(mn), where n is a number of initial crossing points counted and m is a number of lines.

title: Factors affecting the synthesis of cobalt-titanium silicalite-1 catalyst

description: This research has studied factors affecting the preparation of Co-TS-1 catalysts which were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The atomic rations of Si/Ti and Si/Co were set at as 50 and 150, respectively. The synthesized TS-1 that incorporated with various types of cobalt salt ((Co(No₃)₂)-6H₂O, CoCl ₂-6H ₂O and Co(C₂H₃O₂)₂-4H₂O) and different loading solutions (A1, A2, C1 and A1A2 solutions). The Co-TS-1 catalysts were characterized by various techniques XRF, SEM, XRD, BET, FT-IR and NH₃-TPD. The catalytic activity of Co-TS-1 were investigated by using the gas phase oxidation reaction of 2-propanol as the test reaction. The gas mixtures for oxidation reaction were 5 vol%-2propanol and 8 vol% oxygen at temperature between 100-500 degrees celsius. The study reveals that the various types of cobalt salt and different loading solution of incorporated cobalt have effect to the amount of cobalt and titanium that can incorporate into framework. Because of the different pH value of each salt, the high pH value of cobalt salt as a base is suitable for cobalt loading. However, the formed catalysts can still maintain MFI structure and orthorhombic crystal shape. The majority of cobalt metal only offered to the gel solution can incorporate into TS-1 framework. The NH₃-TPD shows that the existence of cobalt in framework increases the amount of stronger acid sites ratio rather than the non-existence cobalt catalyst. Moreover, the higher amount of cobalt that incorporated into TS-1 framework will increase the weaker acid sites ratio. Therefore, the increasing of cobalt metal also results in the increasing of total acid sites. Because of those properties, when the catalyst sample with higher amount of loaded cobalt is tested by 2-propanol oxidation, the higher catalytic activity for the dehydration reaction toward propylene is increased.

title: Extraction of heavy metal ions in water using humic acids immobilized on silica

description: A total of 70 fungi were isolated from 21 sources of soil samples and oil plants by serial dilution method, using PDA plate and screened for lipolytic potential by employing agar plate method, using BYPO medium supplemented with palm oil and Rhodamine B. To determine lipase activity, thirty-eight lipase-producing isolates were cultured in liquid medium using palm oil as inducer. The results showed that Fusarium solani (NAN103) exhibited the highest specific activity, 87.73 ±0.99 U/mg. Therefore NAN103 were subjected to induced mutation for enhancing lipase activity. Single spore selection was separated single colony. A total of 12 fungal spore suspension were isolated and NS4 was the best single spore selectant that showed the specific activity 132.64 ±7.68 U/mg. Hence, NS4 was induced mutation by ultraviolet irradiation and mutagenic inducer, NTG, respectively. From UV inducing for mutation experiment, UV2002 which was the best mutant of 27 fungal isolates had the specific activity, approximately 230.80 ±17.65 U/mg. UV2002 was subsequently for induced mutation by NTG. The result illustrated that NTG022 from 14 fungal isolates was the most stable and yielded highest specific activity, 93.14 ±8.33 U/mg. Thus Finally, crude enzyme from NAN103 including 12 natural selected isolates, 27 UV induced mutant isolates and 14 NTG induced mutant isolates were the enzyme-catalysed transesterification for methyl ester production. The results showed that all through enzyme solution form NAN103 isolates were capable of catalysis for production. In addition, the enzyme produced by NAN103 were immobilized on dolomite and diatomaceous earth experimented for optimal condition of methyl ester production.The results indicated that water was essential for enzyme-mediated methyl ester synthesis by transesterification reaction.

title: Flame retardant and antifungal paint formulae

description: The purpose of this study was to improve the flame retardant property and to evaluate new antifungal agent for 100% acrylic latex paint. Flame retardant can be improved by using ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and aluminium trihydroxide (ATH) as flame retardant fillers. Although APP gave good flame retardant property, its good water solubility caused the water resistance of paint film decreased. The optimum ratio between APP and ATH were 10:15% and 10:10% by weight with the OI value at 28.5% and 26.7%, respectively. These indicated good flame retardant property compare with the existing paint formulation about 20%. The synergist between App and ATH was observed in paint formulations containing both fillers. For antifungal property, five compounds including propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, berberine chloride iprodione, 2,4-dichlorocinnamic acid and captan were evauated comparing with zinc omadine which generally used in the existing paint formulation. The antifungal activity result against Aspergius niger revealed that captan exhibited good antifungal property similarly to zinc omadine.

title: Foreign ownership and firms' governance quality

description: This thesis provides new empirical evidence on the implications of corporate governance by investigating the conjecture that bad governance of firms in a low investor protection country can be improved by association with good governance mechanism. Three main results are found. First, the effect of a large foreign shareholder on shareholder value is unclear because the existence of a large foreign foreign shareholder has a positive effect on firm's ROA and is not strongly significant. There is no effect on firm value, firm's ROE, and stock liquidity. Moreover, the relationship between shareholder value and foreign ownership is opposite from entrenchment hypothesis. The relationship between shareholder value and foreign ownership is negative at low level of ownership, but become positive at the medium level. It decreases again once ownership level become high. This indicates wealth of a local company expropriated by a large foreign shareholder at the very high level of ownership. Second, a large foreign shareholder specifically from a good investor protection country, exhibits negative impact on shareholder value - implying that the wealth of a local company may be easily expropriated if located in a low protection country. Finally, the impact of a large foreign shareholder on shareholder value pre and post the corporate governance promotion by authorities is not significantly different. In other words, the role of a large foreign shareholder on firm's governance remains similar between pre and post the corporate governance promotion. The result implies that Thailand's level of corporate governance had not changed since the financial crisis of 1997. From all the results, this thesis seeks a different perspective on the role of a large foreigner shareholder in firm's governance located in an emerging market, the Thai market.

title: Guideline for selection genetic parameters in multi-objective optimization problem and application for synthesis phenol recovery process

description: Many real-world chemical industrial problems involve two types of problem difficulty: i) multiple conflicting objectives (Multi-objective optimization) and ii) a highly complex search space. Thus, efficient optimization strategies being capable of solving problems with both types of problem difficulty are important. Evolutionary algorithm (EA) can efficiently solve multi-objective optimization problem with highly complex search space. Unfortunately, EA requires many parameters. Consequently, the selection of the parameters value is important, and has an effect on accuracy and convergence of the solution obtained. This research focuses on analyzing the effect of genetic parameters (mutation and crossover probability) in evolutionary algorithm for multi-objective optimization problems. In this work, genetic parameters for MOGA, NSGA, NPGA, NPGA, NSGA-II and SPEA are investigated. Furthermore the generic guideline to select suitable parameters values for the multi-objective evolutionary algorithms is developed and applied in a case study. The case study involves the problem of synthesis of phenol recovery process. The objective of this problem is to find the suitable operating points providing a minimum total cost and minimum environmental impact. The generic guideline for selection appropriate genetic parameters is successfully applied to the case study.

title: Hydrodesulfurization of gas oil catalyzed by in situ molybdenum compounds

description: In situ decomposition of ammonium and tetrabutylammonium thiomolybdate (ATM and TBATM) were used to synthesize unsupported MoS[subscript 2] catalysts, the in situ activation consisted of decomposing the thiomolybdate precursors in the presence of hydrocarbon solvent under H[subscript 2] pressure at 350degrees Celsius during the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) or 4,6-dimethydibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) as sulfur model compounds. In situ generated MOS[subscript 2] catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, EDX and SEM. Parameters affecting the HDS reaction were investigated: hydrogen pressure, reaction time, amount of precursor, types of precursor, cobalt and nickel promoters, and water addition. Inhibition of pyridine was also examined. The results showed that, cobalt and nickel addition enhanced HDS activity of both in situ generated MoS[subscript 2] catalysts from ATM and TBATM precursors. The use of ATM precursor with added water for in situ generation of MoS[subscript 2] catalyst can lead to 100% conversion of HDS of 4,6-DMDBT under 30 atm H[subscript 2] pressure at 350degrees celsius. Model reaction suggested that water addition led to a high surface area, highly active MoS[subscript 2] catalyst. The optimal mole ratio of H[subscript 2]O/ATM = 1200 performed the highest surface area (559 m[superscript 2]/g). In addition, the catalysts could reduce the sulfur contents of straight run gas oil (SRGO) from 6100 ppm to 3250 ppm and from 310 ppm to 100 ppm in light cycle oil (LCO).

title: High-level workflow scheduling with best-intermediate-result-first policy for workflow-based parameter-sweep applications

description: Workflow-based parameter-sweep applications are an important class of parallel jobs on clusters and grid today. Conventional batch schedulers and parameter study tools are not effective for this type of application. Especially, their scheduling policies are usually designed to minimize the makespan of the whole parameter study. However, many parameter-sweep applications also have a primary objective to obtain the best or a few top-ranked results from a large parameter space. This research describes a new heuristic for scheduling parameter-sweep workflows in order to minimize the turnaround time of the workflows that give the best results. The algorithm is based on dynamically adjusted priority according to intermediate data obtained at some stage in the workflow. The technique is applied on a high-throughput drug screening application. The experimental results show that our technique can significantly improve the correlation between the ranking of the final results and the order of completion of the workflows.

title: Hydrotalcite base catalysts for biodiesel production

description: In this work, solid base catalysts were synthesized. They were MgAI and MgGa hydrotalcites, calcined hydrotalcites, metal loaded calcined hydrotalcites and rehydrated hydrotalcites. Different group I metals were loaded in different weight percentage. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by XRD, IR, BET, SEM and basicity was measured. To compare their catalytic activities, tributyrin was used as a model compound for transesterification with methanol at a fixed reaction condition: catalyst 1.5wt%, termperature 60 degree celsius, time 3 h, molar ratio of methanol to tributyrin 30:1. GC was used to analyse the product, methyl butanoate. The results showed that the rehydrated hydrotalcites gave higher %conversion of tributyrin than the calcined ones. When the metal was loaded on the calcined hydrotalcites, %conversion of tributyrin was increased. The calcined MgAI hydrotalcite which was loaded with 1.5%K was chosen to catalyze the transesterification of refined palm oil with methanol. The reaction condition was optimized and was found at a temperature of 100 degree celsius, the molar ratio of methanol to oil of 45:1, reaction time 9 h, catalyst 7.5wt%, High product yield (85.6%) and ester content (93.7%) were obtained. These catalysts can be regenerated (by calcinations and reloading metal) with slight decrease in activity.
