Young coconut shells are a byproduct after processing coconut juice which can be used to produce a solid-fuel. This fuel from the coconut shell is an alternative source instead of using firewood or charcoal made of timber in the natural forest. The solid-fuel from young coconut shells was prepared by using a wet glue powder as a binder then was compressed by using a briquette machine. The black coconut briquette was stable after exposure to the sun. The average of the briquette combustion rate was at 11.24 g /min. There is no eruption smut smoke and odor by using the young coconut shell briquette yo start a fire. To sum up a young coconut shell has a high potential as an alternative biomass material for producing a briquette especially for commercial. This solution can increase the reduction of haze weather in the sight of solid waste incineration and also global warming.

This project was created to sort bottles automatically. By specifying 3 types of bottles which are plastic bottles glass bottles and cans To help facilitate the separation of the bottles and then recycle the extracted bottles as needed. The organizer has studied the use of the Arduino program to control the operation of the sorting bottles according to the specified category. Studied the microcontroller system operation Control system And how to use the Arduino program The operating system is divided into 2 parts namely the metal detection sensor section And weight sensor and then send data to the sensor receiver Arduino And the sensor will detect the object all the time in the empty bottle compartment The results showed that the operation of the automatic bottle sorter system When throwing the bottle through the sensor compartment. The performance of the Arduino program that has been written to define the classification of the bottles. Have the percentage of work as specified by 90% and the error percentage of 10%

This research studied the efficiencies of ceramic membrane filtration from industrial asphalt for dyeing wastewater treatment by forming a ceramic membrane in a diameter of 6 cm height of 2 cm. An appropriate proportion of industrial ashes: kaolin: sodium hydroxide solution mixed with sodium silicate solution was 46:18:36 at 800 ° C. For the properties analysis of ceramic membrane made from industrial ashes found that a shrinkage value compression resistance and density water absorption value and permeate flux were found 3 percents 0.6 Kilonewtons per cubic centimeter and 1.93 grams per cubic centimeter 45 percents 8.61 milliliters per square centimeter per minute respectively. Structural surface by a scanning electron microscopy was found that the porous inside of material was closely aligned together. Moreover precipitation of synthetic wastewater by using industrial ashes could help to increase the efficiencies of dyeing wastewater treatment. From the experiment it was found that the precipitation of synthetic wastewater with industrial ash was 94 percent filtration efficiency. On the other hand the efficiencies of synthetic wastewater treatment without precipitating of industrial ashes found only 69 percent. Moreover this research offers a new option for industrial wastes utilization.

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.

There has been an extensive use of fiberboards in the furniture industry. Therefore materials containing glue are applied to develop these fiberboards. This research investigated sawdust-produced fiberboards using lac as the binder and aimed to; (1) study the appropriate mixture proportions of sawdust and lac as the binder and; (2) explore the physical and mechanical properties of different mixture proportions of sawdust and lac at 5 wt% 10 wt% 15 wt% 20 wt% 30 wt% and 40 wt%. The research methods involved selecting sizes of dried sawdust and grinding with lac and alcohol. Then the mixture was pressed in a hot-pressing machine. After that the produced fiberboards were tested using medium-density fibreboards Thai Industrial Standard (TIS 966-2547) in a laboratory. The results showed that the appropriate proportions was 15 wt% which met the standard defined in Thai Industrial Standard (TIS 966-2547). The fiberboards could replace medium-density plywood and could be used in furniture and the home decorative product industry.
