| Abstract | ||||
| The research aims to design and fabricate prototype of a bio-filter which used to process the emissions of CO and Co2.That are mainly generated from the combustion of coal, oil and natural gas. These are main energy resources in our daily life which used in different food activities as food factories and charcoal grills. The prototype consists of cylinder steel with two covers, two tubes welded on the outer face of each cover and candle of filter. Candl was consisting of two circle walls and the space between two walls was 2cm In the experiments were conducted on four cases from bio materials as follows:- 1- grinded ficus green leaves 2- grinded green leaves after drying 3- dry sawdust, 4-Wet sawdust. Measurements were done at five times after 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 min. from starting experiments. The moisture contents was measured to the agricultural residues (bio-materials) before and after experiments. Chemical analysis was done on the bio-material to measure the Co , Co2 befor and after experiments. Also, Co , Co2 were measured in the air befor input prototype and after output. The results with bio.filter were: - with green leaves: Co2 ratio decreased to 18% ,Co decreased to 2 %. And absorb of C ratio by green leaves was 4.5%. - with dry leaves: Co2 decreased to 15 %, Co ratio didn’t change and absorb of C ratio by dry leaves was 0.07%. - with wet sawdust: Co2 decreased 0.03% and Co ratio didn’t change. - with dry sawdust: Co2 and Co didn’t change. the finel conclution was the ficus green leaves is the best bio.materials to use with bio-filter. | ||||
