ABSTRACT
The present work was done in order to develop and find out suitable conversion methods for coconut husk wastes into value-added products. It is well-known that coconuts husk waste is hydrophobic therefore ethanol with different doses was used as a surfactant to enhance the removal efficiency. Treated samples at different adsorbent amounts, sintering temperatures & sintering time, stirring time, pH, and solution temperatures for color removal of Methylene Blue (MB) & Rhodamine B (RhB) and ammonium concentration were evaluated by using UV-Visible Spectroscopy. At 300°C, results showed complete removal for MB and more than 75% for RhB, whereas removal of ammonium ion reached around 52% when sintering product from husk waste was used. Further investigation was carried out for ammonium ion to understand the desorption kinetic behaviors and isotherm models. Kinetics indicated that desorption of ammonium ion followed pseudo-first order equation. Adsorption thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS followed Van’t Hoff plot for adsorption and found to be negative which indicated that the adsorption process for ammonium onto coconut husk was physical, spontaneous and exothermic.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
