OPTIMIZATION OF PHOSPHORUS LEACHING FROM SEWAGE SLUDGE OF BINH HUNG DOMESTIC WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT

Khang Vũ Đình — 2024-12-31

Leaching phosphorus (P) in dewatered sludge from domestic wastewater treatment plant is an important step to convert solid P compounds into a soluble form that can be separated and recovered as clean products. In addition, optimization of leaching conditions is essential to minimize the amount of chemicals used and water resources in developing P recovery processes. This study combines experimental studies and simulation calculations by using the Aqion-PRO hydrochemistry tool to determine the optimal conditions for P leaching. Type of leaching agent, liquid-solid phase ratio, agent concentration and leaching time are researched to optimize. The liquid-solid phase ratio and leaching agent concentration are correlated to the P leaching ability from the sludge. The H₂SO₄ 1.1M, phase ratio 5 and leaching time 60 minutes were determined as the most optimal parameters to leaching phosphorus, P leaching efficiency can reach about 85 ± 3%.

OPTIMIZING CONDITIONS TO YIELD TOTAL PHENOLIC CONTENTS USING ULTRASOUND-ASSISTED EXTRACTION FROM CASHEW TESTA (ANACARDIM OCCIDENTALE LINN.)

Nguyễn Thị Ngần — 2024-12-31

The optimal experiments on cashew testa (Anacardim occidentale Linn.) were conducted with three factors of extraction (including liquid-solid ratio, extraction time, and extraction temperature), and the responses is total phenolic content (TPC). The result showed the highest of TPC at 375.73 mg of gallic acid equivalent/g dry weight (mg GAE/g DW) when the solvent is methanol, liquid-solid ratio at 42.6 (mL/g), extraction time at 97.8 (min), and extraction temperature at 48.5^oC. The quantitative analysis of five main components of cashew testa including Catechin, Epicatechin, Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), Epicatechin gallate in the seven locals in Vietnam was performed by HPLC. The results showed that Epicatechin (25.495-44.539 mg/g DW) was the highest content, following by Epicatechin gallate (7.492-13.501 mg/g DW), Catechin (2.625-4.279 mg/g DW), EGCG (1.609-2.168 mg/g DW), and caffein (1.335-1.168 mg/g DW).

ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CHICKEN MANURE BIOCHAR ON HEAVY METALS ADSORPTION IN SALINE SOIL IN CAN GIUOC, LONG AN

Tòng Nguyễn Xuân — 2024-12-31

In the present study, a leaching column model was performed to evaluate the effects of adding chicken manure biochar (BC) (350, 450 and 600^oC with retention time of 1, 1.5 and 2 hours) on heavy metal adsorption capacity in saline soil in Can Giuoc district, Long An province. The collected soil sample was determined to be strongly acidic (pH 3.9), while BC was strongly alkaline (pH 7.2 – 9.6). The high electrical conductivity (EC) content (4.39 ± 0.289 dS/m) shows that the soil in the study area is saline, EC is higher than chicken manure BC (<1.5 dS/m). In particular, the content of Cd (4.63 ± 1.47 mg/kg), Pb (203.33 ± 18.56 mg/kg) and Zn (333.33 ± 1 221.06 mg/kg) in soil exceeded the value QCVN 03:2023/BTNMT. After adding BC through the leaching column model, the content of heavy metals in the soil decreased to less than 0.01 mg/kg. The research results are a database that helps policymakers monitor progress in saline soil reclamation and soil health management.

DETERMINE THE INTENSITY OF BORED CONCRETE THROUGH ULTRA SOUND PULSE TRANSMISSION SPEED

Le Tan — 2024-12-31

The importance and practical contributions of bored piles in the field of construction are extremely large and bold. Most of the high - rise buildings on the territory of Vietnam are firmly built on the bearing foundation system as bored piles, meeting high requirements on bearing structure as well as increasingly advanced concrete construction technology. Nowadays, the quality of bored piles is controlled based on TCVN9396: 2012 [2]. However, this standard still has many shortcomings, causing significant difficulties in checking and accepting bored piles after construction. The research has provided practical solutions to remove obstacles that the standards are facing, namely: through ultrasonic transmission speed to determine the concrete intensity of bored piles. This is the limitation in the standard TCVN 9396: 2012 [2] is currently applying.

This article presents the results of research using a quantitative assessment method based on product quality criteria to select fabrics that meet the requirements of uniform shirts for man lecturers at Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry. The study used the method "Weighted average" based on 11 fabric quality criteria (tensile strength on warp direction of fabric, elongation on warp direction of fabric, fabric moisture absorption, fabric water capillarity on warp and on welf direction, fabric air permeability, fabric drape coefficient, fabric crease resistance coefficient, fabric shrinkage due to washing, fabric drying time after washing, price of fabric) to calculate the overall quality level (OQL) of the product. The method was conducted by following steps: 1) determining product categories, 2) identifying quality characteristics, 3) formulating weights for quality characteristics, 4) measure quality criteria of the products, 5) determine the relative quality index qi, 6) calculate the overall quality level and apply to assess products. The results show that the overall quality levels of the three fabrics (100% cotton, PE-CP/65-35 and 100% polyester) receive values of 1.00, 1.23 and 1.20, respectively. From this result, white woven fabric made from 65% polyester and 35% cotton was selected as the most suitable fabric to make uniform shirts for male lecturers at Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry.

MANUFACTURING OF A TRANSFORMER FOR CONVERTING 3-PHASE TO 6-PHASE ELECTRIC POWER SOURCE

Pham Cong Duy — 2024-12-31

Nowadays, due to its advantages such as better fault-tolerant performance, improved system reliability, better efficiency, lower power per phase, lower torque oscillation with better torque density, multiphase AC machine (with the phase-number is higher than 3) has been widely accepted and adopted for electric drive applications. However, multi-phase machine applications required to be powered from multiphase power source or drive system. Unfortunately, multi-phase power supply or drive system still has not been offered in commercial market. Thus, a 3 kVA transformer with a novel winding arrangement to have the ability to convert conventional 3-phase power supply input to 6-phase power source output for multiphase machine application has been investigated and manufactured at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering Technology, IUH, Vietnam. Testing on the transformer shows that it could supply a 6-phase output power with low high-order harmonics. Therefore, the multiphase transformer prototype is essential for testing multiphase machine application.

Phạm Thúy Ngọc — 2024-12-31

In this paper, a novel robust hybrid control structure based on the combination between (NSTA_SOSM) second- order sliding control using super-twisting algorithm and the (BS) Backstepping for vector control of SPIM drive systems is proposed. This structure effectively solves the weaknesses of both traditional (BS) Backstepping control and (SM) sliding control, develops and enhances the performance of FOC control by combining second-order sliding control using super-twisting algorithm to increase convergence speed and the reference tracking ability more quickly and accurately, the new controller works robust and stably even when working in conditions of uncertain parameter systems and load disturbances, the chattering phenomenon is almost eliminated. The obtained results by simulation using the Matlab/Simulink tool verified the performances of new proposed control constructure.

Hung Ngoc Tran — 2024-12-31

Strategic management accounting (SMA) is an important part of management accounting, assisting managers in evaluating and shaping business strategies by providing strategic financial and non-financial information. SMA provides critical insights that help managers make strategic decisions to optimise the enterprise's operational efficiency and competitiveness. However, the application of SMA in Vietnamese enterprises still faces significant limitations, influenced not only by internal factors but also by external factors affecting the businesses. This study indicates that in medium and large enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City, the adoption of SMA is affected by factors such as company scale, employee expertise, information technology proficiency, competitive intensity, and management network
