Item type:Publication, Comparative physicochemical and rheological properties of tamarind seed xyloglucan from sweet and sour tamarind cultivars for food applications(2026-06-01) ;Julapuk, Punwadee; ;Narkrugsa, Woatthichai ;Phumjan, LamphungAdair, PornpatuThis study comparatively investigated the physicochemical, structural, and rheological properties of xyloglucan extracted from sweet (Sri Chomphu) and sour (Kradan) tamarind kernel (TKP) cultivated in Thailand to provide insights for industrial applications. The extraction yields were 58.35 ± 0.28% and 57.90 ± 0.37% (w/w) for sweet and sour TKP, respectively. Chemical composition analysis revealed comparable macronutrient profiles between the two samples. FTIR spectra confirmed similar functional groups, while SEM analysis showed amorphous and heterogeneous structures with slight differences in porosity. Molecular weight distribution indicated that sour TKP-derived xyloglucan was dominated by intermediate molecular weight fractions (4.03 × 10⁵ Da, 70.46%), whereas sweet TKP-derived xyloglucan exhibited a broader distribution. These structural differences influenced hydration properties, with sweet xyloglucan showing significantly higher water absorption and solubility (%WAI: 475.02 ± 9.91%; %WSI: 5.62 ± 0.62%) compared to sour xyloglucan (%WAI: 398.81 ± 7.01%; %WSI: 4.81 ± 0.57%). Evaluation of gelling properties revealed that both samples exhibited maximum gel strength at 2% concentration and pH 3, with sour xyloglucan forming stronger gels. Rheological analysis demonstrated non-Newtonian pseudoplastic behavior and dominant elastic characteristics (G′ ' G″), with higher viscosity observed in the sour cultivar. Emulsifying activity and stability were high and showed no significant differences (EA: 93.58–94.87%; ES: 97.94–98.71%). Overall, while cultivar origin had minimal impact on structural and emulsifying properties, it significantly influenced hydration and gelling-related characteristics, supporting the potential of tamarind xyloglucan as a versatile hydrocolloid for food and material applications. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Solid shrimp waste derived nanoporous carbon as an alternative bio-sorbent for oxytetracycline removal from aquaculture wastewater(2024-06-15) ;Kaewtrakulchai, Napat ;Samattakarn, Nippit ;Chanpee, Sirayu; Manatura, KanitRecently, it has been critical to effectively remove oxytetracycline (OTC) from aquaculture wastewater before releasing into the environment. The adsorption process is recognized as an efficient pathway for removing OTC since it is a simple, stable, and cost-effective method. This study aims to develop nanoporous carbon entirely from shrimp waste (SW) via hydrothermal carbonization assisted with KOH activation. Existing KOH significantly increases the porosity of SW nanoporous carbon. The optimal SW porous carbon was obtained using 5 wt%KOH for activation, which had the largest surface area of 679.51 m<sup>2</sup>/g with the total pore volume of 0.458 cm<sup>3</sup>/g. Moreover, the SW porous carbon with the highest porosity was selected for the OTC adsorption. The Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model match the experimental data, implying that the adsorption mechanism is mono-layered adsorption due to micropores by chemisorption interaction. The adsorption capacity significantly improved by increasing the dosage of SW nanoporous carbon. The SW nanoporous carbon adsorption for OTC is primarily regulated by pore filling affected by hydrogen bonding, and π-π* interaction also plays a significant role. The SW nanoporous carbon showed an efficient OTC adsorption after 5 regeneration cycles. This work demonstrates biomass waste recycling and emphasizes the potential of aquatic food processing waste-derived nanoporous carbon for antibiotic adsorption. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Dimethyl ether synthesis from methanol over diatomite catalyst modified using nitric acid treatment(2016-08-02) ;Pranee, Watcharakorn ;Neramittagapong, Sutasinee; Neramittagapong, ArthitDimethyl ether synthesis from methanol over diatomite catalysts modified using nitric acid was investigated. The catalytic performance of diatomite was tested in a fixed-bed reactor under atmospheric pressure and within the temperature range of 250–350°C. It was discovered that high acidity of the catalyst yielded a higher methanol conversion rate. Moreover, it was revealed that the acidity of the catalyst surface was controlled by Al<sup>(IV)</sup> ions whereas basicity of the catalyst surface was determined by Al<sup>(V)</sup> and Al<sup>(VI)</sup> ions. From this finding, the authors were able to propose the mechanism of DME synthesis from methanol over treated diatomite. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Sustainable Utilization of Chicken Eggshell Waste for Adsorptive Removal of Congo Red Dye from Wastewater(2026-01-01) ;Leelahakarnjana, Kanyakorn ;Triyaprasertporn, Rawisara ;Clowutimon, WeerawatThis study investigates the adsorptive removal of Congo red dye from wastewater using raw chicken eggshell, CaO derived from calcined eggshell, and commercial CaO as adsorbents. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to determine equilibrium time and analyze adsorption isotherms. Characterization of the materials using XRD, XRF, FT-IR, FT-Raman, and BET confirmed that the calcination process effectively transforms CaCO<inf>3</inf> in the raw eggshell into CaO, significantly increasing surface area and pore volume. These improvements enhance the material’s adsorption performance. The adsorption of Congo red reached equilibrium within 90 min for all adsorbents. Among the tested materials, CaO from eggshell exhibited adsorption capacity comparable to that of commercial CaO, while raw eggshell showed lower performance due to limited surface properties and basicity. Adsorption isotherm data for all adsorbents were better fitted with the Langmuir model, indicating a monolayer physical adsorption process. Overall, the results demonstrate that chicken eggshell waste, when thermally treated, is a promising and sustainable adsorbent for dye removal from wastewater. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Study on chemical structure stability and properties of chitosan-incorporated tamarind seed kernel xyloglucan hydrogels(2024-12-05) ;Manamoongmongkol, Kanjana; ;Narkrugsa, Woatthichai ;Phumjan, LamphungPermana, LasuardiThis study investigated the stability of chitosan-incorporated tamarind seed kernel xyloglucan hydrogels prepared at different ratios after storage for three years. The physical hydrogel samples were studied using ratios of xyloglucan to chitosan between 1.5:1 and 4:1, comparing fresh hydrogel with hydrogel stored for three years. The hydrogels were analyzed for Fourier transform infrared characteristics, rheological behavior, flow rate, and zeta potential. After three years of storage, a reversible reaction was confirmed by C-H molecular stretching using Fourier transform infrared. All hydrogel samples exhibited pseudoplastic fluid characteristics with liquid-like behavior. The zeta potential of fresh hydrogel at 1.5:1 and 4:1 ratios was 27.700 ± 0.964 mV and 22.633 ± 0.929 mV, respectively, whereas after three years, it became 28.067 ± 1.106 mV and 18.867 ± 0.503 mV, respectively. The amount of xyloglucan significantly affected the zeta potential of the xyloglucan-chitosan hydrogel, leading to a decrease in the stability of the hydrogel at a 4:1 ratio. The stability of the hydrogel at a ratio of 1.5:1 was confirmed by pH and zeta potential measurements. In conclusion, the properties and behavior of the xyloglucan-chitosan hydrogel remained stable after three years of storage at a 1.5:1 ratio. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Oil palm leaf-derived nanoporous carbon via hydrothermal carbonization combined with NaOH microwave activation for tetracycline adsorption(2025-11-01) ;Chanpee, Sirayu ;Apinyakul, Naruemon ;Kaewtrakulchai, Napat; Generally, the increase in pharmaceutical industrial activities has led to a corresponding rise in water resource contamination. Efforts have been dedicated to addressing the urgent challenge of waste biomass disposal by developing recycling methods capable of producing bio-adsorbents. Adsorption is a promising approach for removing tetracycline contaminants, owing to its simplicity, stability, and cost-effectiveness. In this study, a low-cost activated biochar was successfully developed using oil palm leaf (OPL) via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) combined microwave-assisted pyrolysis system (MAPS) using sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The HTC and MAPS processes enhanced high mass yield, porosity, energy efficiency, and reduced reaction time. NaOH treatment improved the porosity of the activated biochar derived from OPL, resulting primarily in a mesoporous structure. However, NaOH treatment via the MAPS process increased surface area and porosity. Among the samples tested, OPLC-NaOH-1:1 exhibited the largest surface area and highest porosity, making it the chosen candidate for further TC adsorption tests. The adsorption experiments revealed that the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model accurately matched the experimental data, suggesting a mono-layered adsorption mechanism due to micropores and chemisorption interactions. Additionally, thermodynamic analysis indicated an endothermic and spontaneous reaction during the adsorption process. The adsorption of nanoporous carbon for TC was primarily regulated by pore filling, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic effects, and π-π interactions also playing a significant role. Overall, this study highlights the potential of utilizing OPL waste as a sustainable material for producing nanoporous carbon and underscores the effectiveness of nanoporous carbon for adsorbing antibiotics. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Optimization of betalain extraction from dragon fruit (Hylocereus undatus) peel and effect of pH on its properties(2025-02-01) ;Permana, Lasuardi; ;Manamoongmongkol, Kanjana ;Phumjan, LamphungDragon fruit peels are wastes produced in the food industry and contain abundant phytochemicals. In this study, betalain extraction from dragon fruit peels was optimized using water as a safe and environment-friendly solvent. The Box-Behnken design was used to investigate the effects of different pH (2.0–6.0), temperatures (30–60 °C), times (10–60 min), and solid-to-liquid ratios (1:15–1:40 by weight) on betalain extraction from dragon fruit peels. The betalain extracted under the optimized conditions was then studied for its properties across a wide pH range of 2.0 to 13.0. The results showed that the solid-to-liquid ratio had the most significant effect on betacyanin extraction as the major component of betalain in dragon fruit peels. The optimal extraction conditions were determined to be a pH of 3.6, temperature of 30 °C, extraction time of 10 min, and a solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:15. The expected betacyanin content under these conditions is 72.37 mg/L. A significant change in the CIELAB parameter of the extracted betalain was observed, with marked differences in the L*, a*, and b* values as the pH increased. This color change may be attributed to the degradation of betacyanin into betalamic acid. This study demonstrated the potential of a safe and eco-friendly process for extracting the natural pigment betacyanin from this agricultural waste material and the potential use of betalain in pH-dependent products. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Assessment of overall remaining useful life of lubricants by integrating oil quality and performance(2024-09-30) ;Chokelarb, Wasan; ;Permana, LasuardiEffective lubricant health monitoring programs are essential for extending the lifespan of both the lubricant and machinery. An accurate and reliable remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is necessary for maintenance decision support. The degradation of used lubricating oil information trends evaluated using used oil analysis results is necessary. This study addresses the need for a comprehensive tool to consolidate oil analysis parameters and determine the remaining useful life (RUL) of used lubricating oil (ULO). A Performance Rating Index (PRI) was developed by integrating various oil degradation testing parameters, including membrane patch colorimetry for varnish and sludge potential, along with viscosity, foaming stability, water separability, air release properties, oxidation stability, rust prevention, and copper strip corrosion. The integration of routine and performance test results of a turbine oil at 25,480 operating hours exhibited a PRI of 48.5. Correlating with the ASTM degradation alarm limits of 50 %, the PRI results provide clear maintenance actions before the original equipment manufacturer's recommended overhaul. The PRI approach supports proactive maintenance by facilitating early oil replenishment, extending RUL, and reducing waste oil. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Methanol production from CO2 reduction over Ni/TiO2 catalyst(2020-12-01) ;Athikaphan, Pakpoom ;Neramittagapong, Sutasinee; Neramittagapong, ArthitPhotocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide into methanol fuel over the Ni-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> catalyst has been investigated. The experiments were carried out in a 50 ml batch reactor under UV irradiation. Ni/TiO<inf>2</inf> photocatalysts were prepared by an impregnation method. The properties of the catalyst were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV–Vis diffuse reflectance (UV–DR). Moreover, the effect of reaction time and Ni loading on the methanol conversion were investigated. The result indicated that the maximum of methanol production was obtained after the irradiation of 3 h and slightly reduced due to the methanol oxidation process. The Ni loading catalyst showed the higher methanol concentration than that over undoped TiO<inf>2</inf> because Ni could trap the electron during irradiation and reduce electron–hole pair recombination by the p–n junction of TiO<inf>2</inf>. The highest methanol production rate of 272.45μmol/g<inf>cat</inf> was obtained over 4% wt Ni/TiO<inf>2</inf> catalyst, which was 20 times higher methanol production rate than that over the commercial TiO<inf>2</inf> catalyst (P25). Moreover, the stability of catalysts could be recycled four times with high activity of CO<inf>2</inf> reduction to methanol. Therefore, 4% wt. Ni/TiO<inf>2</inf> catalyst, low cost, showed better potential and activity in reducing CO<inf>2</inf> emission to the environment. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Dimethyl ether synthesis via methanol dehydration over diatomite catalyst modified using hydrochloric acid(2014-01-01) ;Pranee, Watcharakorn; ;Neramittagapong, ArthitNeramittagapong, SutasineeThe synthesis of dimethyl ether via methanol dehydration has been carried out over untreated-diatomite catalyst (DM) and hydrochloric acid modified treatment on diatomite catalyst (DMHC). The reactions were carried out in a fixed-bed reactor. The effects of hydrochloric acid modifications of diatomite on its catalytic performance were studied. The characterization such as XRD, SEM, FT-IR and FT-Raman had no deformation after HCl-modified treatment on catalysts. DMHC catalyst apparently gave the higher methanol conversion rate than DM due to the acidity while the selectivity of dimethyl ether from 250 to 350°C was slightly changed. The acidity was depended upon Al<sup>(IV)</sup> ions; nevertheless, both Al<sup>(V)</sup> and Al<sup>(VI)</sup> were affected and hence increasing the basic active sites. Not only was the competitively catalytic methanol dehydrogenation preferred with basic condition but also methanol-blocking water molecule interaction was the unwanted reaction. In this investigation, the chemical-bond arrangements of silicon and aluminium ions were proposed with solid MAS/NMR. The DMHC catalyst exhibited better DME yield than the DM catalyst, and it could be used as a selective catalyst for DME synthesis from methanol. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
