...White coal is a form of fuel produced by drying chopped wood over a fire. It differs from charcoal which is carbonised wood. White coal was used in England to smelt lead ore from the mid-sixteenth to the late seventeenth centuries. It produces more heat than green wood but less than charcoal and thus prevents the lead evaporating.[1] White coal could be used mixed with charcoal for other industrial uses than lead smelting.[2] White coal was produced in distinctive circular pits with a channel, known as Q-pits. They are frequently found in the woods of South Yorkshire. Nowadays white coal is made from [3] * Groundnut shells * Cotton hulls and salks * Castor seed shells * Forest leaves; wood chips and shavings * Sugarcane bagasse * Rice husk and paddy straw * Mustard waste * Coir dust * Coffee husk * Sunflower waste * Maize stalks * Bajra cobs * Sesame seeds oil cake * Wheat straw Benefits of white coal:[4][5][6] * White coal is cheaper than coal and fire wood. * There is no sulphur in the white coal, therefore no toxic gases. * Moisture content is nil. * Biomass briquettes have a higher practical thermal value. * Briquettes have consistent quality, have high burning efficiency, and are ideally sized for complete combustion. * Combustion is more uniform compared to coal and boiler response to changes in steam requirements is faster, due to higher quantity of volatile matter in briquettes. *...

...research paper because I want to discover or shall we say explore more about the essence of using paper coal rather than gas stove or wood. I want to learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of using paper coal. I hope that other people may read my research paper and understand its content.I wanted to find out whether paper charcoal could be an alternative for regular charcoal so that fewer trees will be cut down for the purpose of making charcoal. I also hope to prove that paper charcoal is better than charcoal in terms of: a. Speed b. Reliability c. Reusability d. Value for money Statement of problem. This study aims of comparing paper charcoal composed of newspaper against commercial charcoal made of wood. Specifically on the following manner: 1. Which type of charcoal has the best speed? 2. Which type of charcoal is the more trusted in cooking? 3. Can each type of charcoal be used more than once? 4. Which one is worth your money? Significance of my research: 1. Environment- the study aims to prove that paper charcoal is better, thus reducing the number of trees cut down. 2. Community- the study benefits the community because if proven right, people start to buy or make paper charcoal and doing either is cheaper than buying regular charcoal. Many schools had already conducted this research paper but I still choose this because I want to endorse this research paper within my own school. This research is limited to the effectiveness of the paper charcoal...

MIRAVALLES DONITA S. ESTRELLA KREANNE IRISH J. MILLANO ANGELA LEONOR M. MUTUC Researchers CLUSTER 1: APPLIED SCIENCE TEAM CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Economic crisis runs throughout different places in the world. The Global Economic Crisis pulled countries down from around the globe to a recession. Wide-ranging declines in many aspects of growth characterize the overall impact it had on the global scale. This is the main reason why people tend to lessen the spend of money. To reduce spending, households had to buy cheaper goods, for example, instead of buying branded clothes; people tend to buy more affordable clothes. People also tend to lessen the electricity and water consumption. Another way is using charcoals instead of Liquefied Petroleum Gas or LPG in preparing or cooking their food. Almost all of us are aware of Global warming. It is the unusual increase in the Earth's surface temperature since describe the beginning of the 20th century. Scientists believe that this is caused by some human activities like illegal logging, deforestation, burning of garbage, fumes of factories, and smoke from vehicles, improper deposal of garbage and regular using of insecticides. The greenhouse effect is a vital natural process that...

...Mojumdar and A K M Kamrul Hasan Abstract— Electricity supply for rural areas, so long, has been a far cry in context of Bangladesh. Realizing this, many organizations along with Bangladesh government are trying to bring renewable energy in a competitive package to meet deficiency. But solar energy, mainly for its inefficiency and high cost, is not having much success in a broader aspect. SHSs are capable to maintain only household demand for 4-6 hours. But for the emergence of small enterprises and to boost the rural economy, energy security at countryside has indispensible role. This paper explores rice husk based biomass plant as an alternate energy source to meet the electricity demand of local enterprises, irrigation and rural households. Since the availability of rice husk is at stake, a mixture of biomass (rice husk & saw dust or rice husk & bamboo dust) instead of using only rice husk as fuel is also proposed for electricity generation. Ash generated from the husk is processed to produce silica and calcium carbonate through silica precipitation method. Demand and market analysis is also done to examine sales potential of products (electricity, silica and calcium carbonate). Index Terms—Biomass gasification, Electricity generation by rice husk, Silica By-product generation, Product utilization residues and process residues where field residues are residues that are left in the field after harvesting and generally used as fertilizer. On the other hand, process residues are...

Sreekrishnan b, Sangeeta Kohli c, Vineet Rana a Centre for Rural Development & Technology, I.I.T., Delhi 1100016, India Department for Biochemical Engineering & Biotechnology, I.I.T., Delhi 1100016, India c Department of Mechanical Engineering, I.I.T., Delhi 1100016, India Received 31 July 2003; received in revised form 18 August 2003 Abstract Biogas, a clean and renewable form of energy could very well substitute (especially in the rural sector) for conventional sources of energy (fossil fuels, oil, etc.) which are causing ecological–environmental problems and at the same time depleting at a faster rate. Despite its numerous advantages, the potential of biogas technology could not be fully harnessed or tapped as certain constraints are also associated with it. Most common among these are: the large hydraulic retention time of 30–50 days, low gas production in winter, etc. Therefore, efforts are needed to remove its various limitations so as to popularize this technology in the rural areas. Researchers have tried different techniques to enhance gas production. This paper reviews the various techniques, which could be used to enhance the gas production rate from solid substrates.

...technology. It is being used to enhance the properties of existing materials. This is largely attributed to the fact that the technology has clearly not been understood and there is still much more to nanotechnology than meets the microscopic eye. It is rare for a single technology to have the power to dramatically influence almost every major industry in the world. Nanotechnology falls into this category and offers fundamentally new capabilities to architect a broad array of novel materials, composites and structures on a molecular scale. This technology has the potential to drastically redefine the methods used for developing lighter, stronger, and high-performance structures and processes with unique and non-traditional properties. This paper focuses on some of the automotive applications for nanotechnology and showcases a few of them that are believed to have the highest probability of success in this highly competitive industry. No discussion of nanotechnology is...

...SWOT Analysis | What is SWOT Analysis? | Examples of SWOT Analysis SWOT analysis was originally conceived and developed in the 1960s and its basic organising principles have remained largely unchanged in the field of strategic management since that time (Kotler et al., 2013). It is, as Ghazinoory, Abdi and Azadegan-Mehr (2011) comment, a systematic framework which helps managers to develop their business strategies by appraising the internal and external determinants of their organisation’s performance. Internal environmental factors include leadership talent, human resource capabilities, the company’s culture as well as the effectiveness of its policies and procedures. In contrast, external factors include competition, government legislation, changing trends, and social expectations (Johnson, Scholes and Whittington, 2008). The SWOT analysis framework involves analysing the strengths (S) and weaknesses (W) of the business’s internal factors, and the opportunities (O) and threats (T) of its external factors of performance (Ghazinoory, Abdi and Azadegan-Mehr, 2011). Through this analysis, the weaknesses and strengths within a company can correspond to the opportunities and threats in the business environment so that effective strategies can be developed (Helms and Nixon, 2010). It follows from this, therefore, that an organisation can derive an effective strategy by taking advantage of its opportunities by using its strengths and neutralise its threats by minimising the impact...

...THE STUDY OF THE PRESERVATIVE EFFECT OF A BLEND OF Tamarindus indica and Ziziphus abyssinica EXTRACTS IN EXTENDING THE SHELF- LIFE OF MEAT BALLS ABSTRACT The study is aimed at finding out if combining the two herbs would result in a more effective preservative than when each herb is used independently.Preservation using natural products is associated with the presence of antioxidants,antimicrobial,antifungal or dehydrating properties. Fresh meatballs are made from meats that have not been previously cured,they are made from ground meat,either pork,beef or veal. Meatballs are however susceptible to microbial spoilage and auto-oxidation. The artificial chemical preservatives used in meatball preservation.eg sodium metabisulphite may be replaced by natural extracts such as Tamarind and Ziziphus extracts which have both antimicrobial and anti-oxidant properties. The extracts will be obtained from Tamarind andZiziphusseeds.The seeds will be dried and ground into powder followed by liquid/liquid extraction. The extraction was carried out by 400ml ethyl acetate and water for 100grams from each sample. The fresh meatballs will be processed in the JKUAT meat workshop using the correct recipe. Fresh meatballs batch with no preservative will act as the control. Another batch with sodium metabisulphite and finally with the seed extracts. The processed fresh meatballs will be stored at 40c and at 250c and the samples analyzed within a staggered period of 4 weeks for auto-oxidation,microbial...
