Technology Reports of Kansai University (ISSN: 04532198) is a monthly peer-reviewed and open-access international Journal. It was first built in 1959 and officially in 1975 till now by kansai university, japan. The journal covers all sort of engineering topic, mathematics and physics. Technology Reports of Kansai University (TRKU) was closed access journal until 2017. After that TRKU became open access journal. TRKU is a scopus indexed journal and directly run by faculty of engineering, kansai university.

The increasing awareness of the depletion of fossil fuel resources and their bad impact towards environmental lead to an application of biofuel as alternative choice. The production of biofuel from waste offers a triplet-facet solution includes economic, environmental and waste management. In the present study, the use of biofuel that most abundantly available for power generation is applicable in the form of waste. Coconuts are the abundant renewable resource of energy can be found in all around the world especially Southeast Asia like Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines. In this study, the waste of coconut shell was prepared to become a biofuel in form of powder or pulverized. The sample was undergo burning process at five different air flow rate that been set up. The effect of burning pulverized coconut shell on environmental impact was studied from CO2 and CO emission. The influence of air flow rate on ash properties were studied using SEM image and EDX analysis. The results revealed that microstructure of coconut shell ash are irregular, asymmetrical, disperse and non-overlap compare to coal. The influence of air flow rate of primary gave effect on the CO2 and CO emission. As the air flow rate increased, the weight of carbon fly ash increases while oxygen experiencing the decreases. In addition, the existed elements such as C, O, Mg, Fe and Ni for each cases were determined. It was also found that the coconut shell is lower in ash content, it tends to produce less particulates and has almost no Sulphur oxides compare to coal. At the end of this work, research would like to recommend use of coconut shell as an additive material in heat generation as it is not containing harmful ash content.
The permeable asphalt surface has offered an alternative technology for storm water management, and its benefits include both environmental and safety. This paper is, therefore, focused on the application of permeable asphalt as alternative means for storm water control in order to contribute to the increasing environmental awareness and an evolving paradigm shift in control techniques. One of the keys to the success of this pavement surface type is in the design of the asphalt mix. The air void percentage, which is ultimately related to the effectiveness of the pavement surface to adequately control the runoff, is a critical component of the mix. However, special consideration is required in order to obtain higher air void percentages, while maintaining strength and durability within a wet climate. Permeable asphalt mix designs produced with PG-76 and PG 60/70 binders were evaluated at binder contents of 3.5, 4,4.5 and 5%and tested for durability and strength properties (drain down, indirect tensile strength, air void, Marshal Stability and water permeability) in cold climate conditions. Results show that an optimal permeable asphalt mix of permeability range 0.116cm/sec was recommended for use.
