    An increase in global consumption has led to an exponential increase in industrial production activities which inevitably results in overwhelming remain of industrial waste. Consequently it has driven increasing attentions of research and development teams in various countries to propose and investigate novel methodologies to utilize such industrial waste. Instead of using as alternative energy sources, usage of industrial waste for production of carbonaceous nanomaterials has been examined via various routes, such as catalytic pyrolysis, hydrothermal treatment and so on. Meanwhile, for sustainable and secure continuity of the carbonaceous nanomaterial production, broad spectra of promising applications have also been examined. Among those emerging applications, utilization of carbonaceous nanomaterials in pollution control and prevention has been focused worldwide. Therefore, in this review, relevant research works focusing on catalytic pyrolysis of carbonaceous industrial waste for carbonaceous nanomaterial production were comprehensively analyzed and summarized. In addition, promising applications involving with antibiotic removal, spilled oil handling and pollutant gas detection were also reviewed.

    Carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) were successfully synthesized from the mixture of used motor oil and benzene via a solution plasma process (SPP). The synthesis was achieved within a single step at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The effects of mixing ratio between used motor oil and benzene on the physical and chemical properties of CNPs were investigated by means of field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy. The results revealed that there were no significant changes in morphological feature and chemical functional groups on CNPs at different mixing ratios. The CNPs exhibited the aggregates of fine particles with the diameter of about 20-30 nm. The crystallinity of CNPs was found to be slightly increased when synthesized under the presence of used motor oil, possibly due to the effect of aliphatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in used motor oil. We expect that the conversion of used motor oil into CNPs by SPP could be another attractive way to add the value to used motor oil prior to disposing.

    CuO powder is widely used because of its high activity and selectivity in oxidation/reduction reactions. CuO nanoparticles are interesting because of their high ratio of surface area to mass, which is expected to enhance the catalytic performance of a material. Because of such importance, CuO nanoparticles were prepared by two different facile routes. The first involved the reaction of pure Cu powder with nitric acid to form Cu(NO<inf>3</inf>)<inf>2</inf> intermediate. In the second route, glacial acetic acid was employed to react with pure Cu powder to form Cu(CH<inf>3</inf>COO)<inf>2</inf> intermediate. After purification, both intermediates were reacted with NaOH via a solid-state route to form CuO powders. The intermediates and end products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction technique. Experimental results indicated that synthesis of the CuO nanoparticles via the Cu(NO<inf>3</inf>)<inf>2</inf> intermediate yielded slightly higher product and fine particle sizes with a larger aspect ratio. In contrast, the Cu(CH<inf>3</inf>COO)<inf>2</inf> intermediate route yielded lower product yield and fine particle sizes with a smaller aspect ratio. However, due to the extremely fine particle size it was observed that nanoparticle agglomeration could not be avoided particularly in the CuO nanopowders produced via the Cu(CH<inf>3</inf>COO)<inf>2</inf> intermediate route.

    This paper proposed the comparative study of speech synthesis techniques, which cover the five majorly techniques. In order to find out the most appropriate speech synthesis techniques by comparing the three performance factors that includes effectiveness, flexibility and simplicity. In the comparative study, we found that the HMM has the most performance in the speech synthesis. Not only, HMM gave good quality speech and without noise, but also it was easy to understand and not complexity of an implementation. Later, we conducted several experimental evaluations to demonstrate the performance of HMM speech synthesis on the two types of application in the different environments. The results shown that HMM able to produce the good quality of speech in high intelligible and flexibility in adjusting the parameters.

    The pyrophosphate of CuFeP<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf> was synthesized through one step-thermal synthesis at 500 °C using the mixing of copper carbonate, iron metals and phosphoric acid. FTIR and XRD results indicate the dominant feature of pyrophosphate (P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf><sup>4-</sup>) anion and a pure monoclinic phase with space group C<inf>2h</inf><sup>6</sup> (Z = 4), respectively. The crystallite size of 25 ± 9 nm for the CuFeP<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf> was estimated by X-ray line broadening. Room temperature magnetization result shows ferromagnetic behavior of the CuFeP<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf> powder, having hysteresis loop in the range of ± 10,000 Oe with the specific magnetization value of 1.57 emu g<sup>- 1</sup>. This property is important for specific application and is presented for the first time. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
