Potassium Hydroxide Activation as an Adsorbent for Kinetic Models of Hexavalent Chromium Adsorptions onto Garcinia Mangosteen Shell Siriporn Sripiboon1,a and Panida Charnkeitkong2,b 1Department of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering, Rangsit University, Pathumthani, 12000, Thailand 2Department of Chemical Engineering, College of Engineering, Rangsit University, Pathumthani, 12000, Thailand asiriporn.sr@rsu.ac.th, bpanida.s@rsu.ac.th Keywords: Adsorption, Hexavalent chromium, Kinetic model, Mangosteen Abstract.
Materials and Methods Mangosteen shells were washed to clean by a water tap after that they were dried in the oven at 100 °C for 48 h and cool in room temperature. 1.0 M KOH in volume 1.0 L was added in a beaker contained with 1.0 kg of dried shells and soak for 1 hour then filtrated and carbonized in a Muffle furnace at 400 °C for 2 h.

They are not commonly used by corrosion engineers; however, they can be a very powerful tool in cases where system hydraulics (pressures and flow rates) are a primary cause of a corrosion problem.
Information such as the exact layout of the system, pipe diameters, materials of construction, and pipe condition may be completely unknown, or the available data may be of questionable reliability.
Recent advances in engineering analysis software have enabled "live" sensor data to be automatically fed directly into hydraulic and water quality models.

Introduction With the continuing growth of wind energy systems and increasing average size of wind turbines, the designs and materials of the wind turbine components need to fulfill new, higher expectations concerning operation and maintenance.
Tooth stiffness is a key parameter in gear dynamics concerning the determination of factors such as dynamic tooth loads and the vibration characteristics of the geared system.
However, the idea of intermittencies is found in other fields such as electronic, electrical and control engineering [36, 37].

The first step aims to identify the key performance indicators (KPIs) for every dimension of product quality following eight quality dimensions of Garvin.
Generally, there is a traditional perception that higher quality and environmental friendly product are obtained from higher costs, either by inputting better materials, using better machines or by hiring more labor.

An unlimited range of materials can be used as finishing of both the inner and the outer surfaces: paint, wallpaper, coating, fabric, etc.
If adequate materials are selected, lightweight steel drywall systems can be effectively and safely used for the envelope of the building.
The experimental activity on materials, products and components involved tension tests on steel materials, shear tests on screws, shear tests on screwed connections between gusset plates and strap-bracings (Fig. 6a) and tension tests on hold-down devices, for a total number of 25 tests [136].
The ancillary experimental activity included tests on steel materials, screws, panels and steel-to-panel connections, for a total number of 144 specimens.
