Estimation of Wear Behavioural Response of Al-Limestone Slurry Composite Using Taguchi Orthogonal Array

The market demand of bio-fuel is 11,8 billion litters based on recent reported data. Hence, with the high demand of bio-fuel, the bio-fuel production utilizing rice husk can be one of the solutions. Beside, bio-oil can be produced by pyrolysis process utilizing rice husk as the feedstock. In this research, the optimization condition in producing bio-oil from rice husk by catalytic pyrolysis process was studied. The effect of catalyst type (H-β, H-Y, HZSM-5), catalyst loading (1wt%, 5wt%, 12wt%), temperature (400-500°C) and flow rate (60-100ml/min) were investigated through repetitive experiments using L9 Taguchi Orthogonal Array. The highest liquid yield of 38wt% was obtained at the optimum conditions with temperature of 500°C with nitrogen flow rate of 60ml/min and 12wt% of H-ZSM-5.

Plastic Products

The recycling of plastic products is gaining widespread attention because of its significance in the reduction of petroleum consumption and in the conservation of limited resources. It is also an effective method of handling plastic waste, as opposed to traditional landfill and incineration waste disposal methods. This study attempts to find a method by which to manage the increasing amount of PA66-GF waste generated by the gear industry through the recycling method. By adopting the L27 Taguchi orthogonal array, S/N ratio and ANOVA are conducted to evaluate the impact of recycled materials on various compositions. The different settings of injection parameters on the gears’ Young’s modulus and elongation at break are also identified and examined.

Different Levels

Taguchi optimization method is a statistical technique to optimize the selected factors and will improvise the quality of compositions. The aim of this paper is to define effective optimization techniques to identify the effective orthogonal array combination using experiments in the beam structure. The Taguchi L9 array has experimented in this study with three different levels and four parameters. After the completion of the experiments, the results are compared with fully factorial methods. The output will be in the form of S/N ratio and graphs. The best-optimized combination is found for minimizing the number of experiments. The size of the beam structure is 1250mm*150mm*150mm.

Microbial Product

One of the major steps toward the industrialization of microbial product(s) is to optimize the cultivation conditions at the large scale bioreactor and successfully control the microbial behavior within large scale production environment. Statistical Design of Experiment was proven to optimize a vast number of microbial processes to achieve robustness and explore possible interactions among the variables. In this research, Taguchi Orthogonal Array was applied to optimize the cultivation condition of a newly isolated Prodigiosin-producing marine bacterial strain, Serratia AM8887, at bioreactor level. Two steps fermentation process was applied; as the productivity was scaled up from shake flask level to a bench top bioreactor (5L) and subsequently to an in-situ sterilization bioreactor system (20L) leading to a yield of 7g/L compared to 100mg/L prior to optimization confirming that; applying Taguchi experimental design is a reliable and good positive option for the optimization of biotechnological processes.. The produced pigment was purified and the chemical structure was revealed by means of Spectrophotometric, Maas Spectrum (MS), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy analysis. The biological activity including antibacterial, antioxidants and cytotoxicity to cancer cells line of the pigment were explored. The pigment showed very characteristic features that could helpful in food, pharmaceuticals and/or textile industries.
