Fire retardant

Fire retardant

Abstract

The purpose of this invention is to develop a forest fire prevention agent that has the ability to prevent long-term forest fires, not only to suppress forest fires or prevent forest fires from spreading widely, but to prevent them from starting to catch fire from the beginning. It can prevent forest fires comprehensively and can be prevented for a long time during the peak forest fire period or the dry season, which is about 3-4 months. There are no residues or minimal residues without causing harm to the surrounding environment under the specified standards. Emphasis is placed on the use of raw materials, equipment, and chemicals that can be easily found in Thailand. This includes using the value of production costs as low as possible. This makes it suitable for use in large quantities for spraying and protecting forest areas in forest areas that are prone to fire. Estimated average for pollution caused by forest fires include particulate matter (PM), including PM2.5, PM10, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide, Nitrogendioxide, VOC etc.

Objective

ป่าไม้เป็นทรัพยากรธรรมชาติที่มีคุณค่าต่อมนุษย์มากมาย ป่าไม้เป็นแหล่งปัจจัยพื้นฐานสี่ประการที่ทำให้มนุษย์สามารถดำรงชีวิตอยู่ได้ นอกจากนี้ป่าไม้ยังเป็นที่อยู่ของสิ่งมีชีวิตต่างๆรวมถึงสัตว์ป่าและพืชพรรณนานาชนิด ปัญหาไฟป่าเป็นอีกปัจจัยที่ส่งผลให้ทรัพยากรป่าไม้เสื่อมโทรมลงอย่างมาก ส่งผลให้ป่าไม้ไม่สามารถฟื้นตัวได้ทันตามวัฏจักรธรรมชาติ ปัจจุบันประเทศไทยได้สูญเสียพื้นที่ป่าไปเป็นจำนวนมากกว่า 1000000 ไร่ในสิบปีหลังสุด และผลกระทบจากไฟป่าทำให้เกิดปัญหาหมอกควันกระจายท้่วไปในบริเวณภาคเหนือ ภาคกลาง และตะวันออกเฉียงเหนือของประเทศ ทำให้ประชาชนจำนวนมากประสบปัญหาโรคระบบทางเดินหายใจ นวัตกรรมนี้จึงถูกสร้างขึ้นเพื่อต้องการลดปัญหาไฟป่าและปกป้องคลุมครองพื้นที่ป่าของประเทศ

APS Evolution: Sustainable Automated Parking Innovation for User-Centric Solutions

Parking space shortages in urban areas contribute to traffic congestion, inefficient land use, and environmental challenges. Automated Parking Systems (APS) provide an innovative solution by optimizing space utilization, reducing search times, and minimizing carbon emissions. This research investigates key factors influencing user adoption of APS technology using the UTAUT2 framework, focusing on variables such as Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Trust in Technology, and Environmental Consciousness. The APS Evolution project presents a smart parking solution that enhances efficiency, minimizes environmental impact, and improves user experience in urban settings. The initiative emphasizes technology-driven urban mobility and sustainable parking management to align with the evolving needs of modern cities.

Organic fertilizer products from horse manure

This research aims to study the waste management process of horse manure, the production process of organic fertilizer from horse waste, and opinions on the use of innovative organic fertilizer from horse manure. A mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative research, is employed. The organic fertilizer is produced from horse manure, which is a waste that incurs disposal costs. Through the fermentation process, it is transformed into an environmentally friendly fertilizer containing essential nutrients beneficial to plants. According to the laboratory analysis of the organic fertilizer conducted by the Soil Science Laboratory, Faculty of Agricultural Technology, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, it was found that organic fertilizer from horse manure contains essential nutrients for plant growth, including macronutrients, secondary nutrients, and micronutrients. This reflects the potential of horse waste management, the production process of organic fertilizer from horse manure, the efficiency of the organic fertilizer, and strategies for adding value to expand its commercialization.

Aggregated gallic acid-modified platinum nanoparticles as colorimetric sensor for tannic acid detection in beverages based on displacement phenomenon

A new colorimetric assay for the rapid detection of tannic acid in beverage samples based on displacement phenomenon of aggregated gallic acid-modified platinum nanoparticles is developed for the first time. PtNPs were functionalized with gallic acid, promoting the formation of the green-hued aggregated nanoparticles. While colorimetry offers a rapid method for identifying tannic acid, challenges remain in sensitivity and accuracy of detection on the PtNPs colorimetric probe, particularly in the presence of anthocyanin interferences. To address this, we developed a sample preparation method to degrade anthocyanin in beverages. Tannic acid was easily displaced onto the gallic acid-coated PtNPs surfaces, causing dispersion and resulting in a visible color change from green to orange−brown. Under the optimal conditions, the colorimetric sensor exhibited a linear response in the range of 1−2,000 µmol L−1 (R2 = 0.9991). The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) were found at 0.02 and 0.09 µmol L−1, respectively. The proposed sensor expressed superior selectivity over other interfering substances and demonstrated excellent precision with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.00%−3.36%. More importantly, recoveries ranging from 95.0−104.7% were obtained, indicating the capability of proposed colorimetric sensor to detect tannic acid rapidly and accurately in real beverage samples.
