Nowadays increasing water pollution has put significant pressure on water resources. Natural organic matter and organic micro-pollutants have been found in potentially harmful concentrations in numerous water sources. Phthalate plasticizers are also micro-pollutants of concern; Di- (2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is one of the most frequently observed plasticizers in the environment as well as one of the most persistent. The maximum permissible levels of these compounds in drinking water and wastewater discharged to the environment are set at low concentrations. In this research water samples were collected from the New Bang Kaen Canal in Bangkok Thailand (13°4906.1N 100°3042.4E) which receives wastewater from human activities and contains impurities in the water. Several common treatment technologies currently used to remove inorganic and organic contaminants from natural water supplies address serious environmental problems. Properly selected microfiltration membrane processes are elements of effective systems for water purification. Polymeric membranes are of primary interest for membrane separation techniques because they are both practical and effective. However pretreatment before using a microfiltration membrane is necessary for suspended solids reduction. This research used two types of polymeric membranes namely cellulose acetate membrane (CA) and polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (PVDF) and covers the most applicable requirements regarding pretreatment of the water intake. The performance of polymeric membranes for water treatment was also investigated. The water quality of the New Bang Kaen Canal was assessed in terms of turbidity SS and COD. This research has the potential to contribute to the monitoring of water quality in the New Bang Kaen Canal. Water quality monitoring is a fundamental tool for water resources management. The performance of polymeric microfiltration membranes was effective for water and wastewater purification in terms of solids organic substances and micro-pollutant i.e. DEHP compounds. Nevertheless the further development of polymeric membranes regarding fouling on the membrane surface and within pores needs to be improved to increase membrane performance and ameliorate the limitations of microfiltration polymeric membranes.

In this research the design of plasmonics interference using micro PANDA ring resonator as the source of single photon and entangled photon generation from the four-wave mixing process was studied. The coincidence of photons from Hong Ou Mandel effect between a wave guide and a micro PANDA ring resonator layer was detected. The whispering gallery mode of interference at the central top inducing the plasmonics signals at the outer nano gold coating PANDA layer was used to analyze from micro particles. Its quality factor was found at 106 of order magnitude and became appropriately to apply this plasmonics interference to be biosensor.

The objective of this study were 1) to develop the gas detector unit for installation on Drone and 2) to test the operational sensitivity of the developed device. The development steps included designing complying the electrical circuit testing the electrical system and online connecting system. Besides the operational sensitivity of the developed device was tested comparing the Gas Alert Micro 5 IR the reference gas detector device both in the laboratory and the field site. The results showed that the developed gas detector could detect carbon dioxide carbon monoxide and methane and displayed the results via Line notification every minute. Additionally carbon dioxide detection by MG-811 sensor gave the results similar to the reference device by 95 percent of significant level with the average amount of detected carbon dioxide in the laboratory and the field site were 700-915 ppm and 138-399 ppm respectively. However the measured results of carbon monoxide and methane from the develop device were relatively different to the reference device. Further study on carbon monoxide sensor and methane sensor calibration are recommended.

The research was to develop environmental packaging from composite materials hyacinth fiber rice husk and coconut fiber for temperature preservation to replace the use of foam packaging that cannot be degraded naturally. In the composite materials water hyacinth fiber rice husk and coconut fiber at the ratios 7: 1: 2 1 : 1 : 2 and 1: 1: 1 were extruded by heat using isocyanate glue as a solder and testing the physical and biological properties of composite materials as fiberboard. For testing of temperature preservation of the bio packaging heat transfer test to obtain the bio-packaging for the environment the composite materials of fiber water hyacinth rice husk and coconut fiber at the ratio of 7 : 1 : 2 was the most appropriate type. Since it had a density of 0.7 grams per cubic centimeter strength of 26.76 MPa moisture content of 3.8 percent ages and swelling of 26.63 percent ages. In dry condition at room temperature it could store heat for 2 hours and could retain the cold temperature as shown for the temperatures rising from 4 to 30.7 degree Celsius within 2 hours. This research therefore presents a new alternative method of natural fiber composite materials application for temperature preservation in order to reduce the use of foam containers and increase cost value to natural bio waste materials.

Aluminum is a lightweight material which are popularly used in various parts of the industry. However there are some limitations on the tribological properties such as abrasive wear and friction when it was compared to other metals. Tribological properties of aluminium was improved with anodizing process and silicon dioxide supplement. the effect of time on surface structure and friction coefficient were studied with with scanning electron microscope and sliding wear tester. It was found that friction coefficient of aluminium was decreased after improvement process was applied.
