his research work aimed to study the effects of the addition of sisal fiber and surface treatment by epoxy silane on the physical and thermal properties of polylactic acid (PLA). Specimens of PLA and unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite were processed by a compression molding machine and evaluated the physical and thermal properties by water absorption measurement and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis respectively. The result showed that water absorption tended to increase by adding sisal fiber whereas surface treatment of sisal fiber by epoxy silane improved water resistance of composites. The water absorption values at immersion time of 5 days were 0.89 1.13 and 1.26 % for PLA PLA/treated sisal fiber composite and PLA/untreated sisal fiber composite respectively. For thermal properties the addition of sisal fiber led to decreases in glass transition temperature and crystallinity. These were because the presence of continuous fiber might interfere with the crystallization of PLA. The surface treatment of continuous fiber with epoxy silane led to difficult crystallization. The good interfacial adhesion interrupted PLA alignment.

In this study we investigated on the mechanical properties and physical properties of light weight block mixed with banana fibers. For the cost effective purpose and environmental friendly product banana fibers which is rich in fiber was used as a precursor in producing light weight block. In this framework a series of blocks were fabricated using banana fibers for instead different raw material involve cement and sand for 28 days incubation. The result show that the block with mix banana fiber was replaced cement in 2.5 %wt has the density value and compressive strength is 1376 kg/m3 and 62.25 kg/cm3 respectively. While water absorption and the maximum shrinkage limit value are 32.86 % and 0.12 % respectively were obtain from the samples mixing 7.5% of banana fibers. After examination of of Thai Industrial Standard (TIS 1505- 2541) the result illustrated the value are standard. It can be concluded that the light weight block mixed banana fibers in ratio of sand: cement: lime: gypsum: aluminum powder: banana fibers are 50: 27.5 : 9 : 9 : 2 : 2.5 will also be used as an alternative precursor materials for producing the light weight block by natural raw materials for cost effective purpose.

The objective of this research was to study the treatment of Phosphate from wastewater by filter material with shells. Various parameters include pH temperature turbidity DO nitride ammonium and phosphate were investigated and compared before and after filler wastewater. The results show that the quality of wastewater after treatment enhancing with adding filter material with shells. The optimum ratio treatment of phosphate is resulting in maximum values was around 0.05 mg/liter (50% compare with wastewater before treatment) with formula no. 3 that not have time to filler. Moreover the results demonstrated the treatment of Phosphate from wastewater by filter material with shells can be improvement the value of turbidity nitride ammonia and DO for wastewater.

For this work PM10 were collected from 7 stations within the area of North Phra Nakhon campus Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon Thailand. The samples were collected within 24 hours from January to April 2015. The result shows that the concentrations of PM10 values are in the range of 0.06 - 0.16 mg/m3 and average PM10 of 0.09 mg/m3. The maximum PM10 were found in front of the university. The comparison of maximum PM10 with the standard value of Pollution Control Department (PCD) was slightly over but did not affect human health.

The purpose of this research was characterized the noises at North Phra Nakhon campus Rajamangala University of Technology Phra NakhonThailand. The instrument of this study was instrument noises. Volume of noise levels were measured in terms of 15 hr and equivalent sound level (Leq 9 hr). 10 samples of noise levels were collected at Rajamangala University Technology Phra Nakhon from 10 stations. The results shown that the average noises volume of 9 hours were in range of 63.10 to 71.20 dBA by measuring station with highest mean of monitoring Station Building Civil Engineering in the area of Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering were found 67.68 and 67.39 dBA respectively. The results of this study indicated that volume of noises in Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon were a little bit more than the standard of Pollution Control Department of Thailand and weren’t affected to teaching and learning in North Phra Nakhon campus.
