International reports warn us about our growing reliance on petroleum, driving up the demand for fossil fuels to unsustainable levels in order to meet global energy needs. The core work of this study is to modify an existing biodiesel prototype through aeration and condensation. Initiatives had been made on the development of technologies for sourcing...
Environmental factors are essential to effective mushroom cultivation, as controlled moisture, humidity, and temperature directly affect yield, quality, and growth. This study introduces the design and development of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based electronic management system for optimizing mushroom farming environments through real-Time monitoring and automated control. The system continuously monitors temperature, soil moisture, and...
Chitosan, a natural linear biopolyaminosaccharide, is a non-toxic and environmentally friendly coagulant derived through the deacetylation of chitin, a major component of Tahong (Perna viridis) shells. This study evaluates the efficacy of chitosan in modifying the physicochemical properties of treated swine biogas digester effluent under varying chitosan dosages (8 g/L and 10 g/L) and agitation...
In this study, we evaluate the adsorption efficiency of Philippine natural zeolite/polylactic acid (PNZ/PLA) composite beads for copper removal in fixed-bed columns. The beads were synthesized via alginate cross-linking and characterized for structural, thermal, and adsorption properties. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed polymer–zeolite interactions and Cu2+ coordination, whereas thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD)...
