It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 3rd INESPO 2011! We are very happy to may welcome more than 200 students from 41 different countries.

INESPO is pleased to be able to organize an event that brings together young scientists from 41 countries and their supervisors. The event promotes the ideas of cooperation and exchange of knowledge and experi-ences, as well as it stimulates the emergence of young talents in various areas of science.

The event takes place at Utrecht University. For two days hundred international students from forty coun-tries will present their projects. Besides that, about hundred Dutch students will show the public their so-lutions for environmental problems. A competent jury will examine the projects and select the winners. There are many prizes: gold, silver and bronze medals in different categories. There will be also an audience prize and encouragement prizes.

We are very thankful that Utrecht University is willing to act as a host this year. Utrecht University is a high qualitative university in the Netherlands that under-stands the need for stimulating young people to get interested in scientific reserach.

For the third year in a row the Cosmicus Foundation took the initiative to set up this Olympiad. Dutch or-ganizations as NPoint, LvDO (Learning for Sustainable Development), Utrecht University and the municipality of Utrecht supported this initiative and helped organi-sationally and financially.

Cosmicus Foundation,

INESPO is blij in staat te zijn dit evenement te orga-niseren dat jonge wetenschappers vanuit 41 landen en hun supervisors bij elkaar brengt. INESPO promoot samenwerking en de uitwisseling van kennis en erva-ringen. Daarnaast stimuleert het de opkomst van jonge talenten in verschillende gebieden van de wetenschap.

INESPO vindt plaats op de Universiteit Utrecht. Twee dagen lang zullen honderd internationale scholieren vanuit veertig landen hun projecten presenteren. Daar-naast zullen ongeveer honderd Nederlandse scholie-ren hun oplossingen voor milieuproblemen laten zien aan het publiek. Een deskundige jury zal de projecten beoordelen en de winnaars kiezen. Er zijn diverse prijzen te winnen. Nederlandse leerlin-gen maken kans op het presenteren van hun project op gelijksoortige olympiade in Brazilië, Amerika en Slowakije.

We zijn de Universiteit Utrecht dankbaar dat zij gast-vrouw wil zijn van INESPO dit jaar.

Voor het derde jaar achtereen heeft Stichting Cos-micus het initiatief genomen tot het organiseren van deze olympiade. Medewerking heeft zij verkregen van NPoint, LvDO (Leren voor Duurzame Ontwikkeling), Universiteit Utrecht en Gemeente Utrecht.

A high amount of nitrate in water has become public health is-sue for many developed countries. In agriculture areas extra use of fertilizer can increase the nitrate ions in water in these areas, so opportunity to benefit from the antioxidant properties of grape fruit nitrate is that it can be grown in this region and also grown in large parts of our country and can remove nitrates from water, in fact, it increases the number of factories and treatment facilities can be evaluated.

The widespread use of mobile phones is a recent phenomenon. Their use has risen tremendously over the past decade and they are now an essential part of business, commerce and society. The extensive use of mobile phones has been accompanied by public debate about possible adverse effects on human health. The con-cerns relate to the emissions of radiofrequency (RF) radiation from the phones (handsets) and from the base stations that receive and transmit the signals. For the general population, the levels of ex-posure arising from phones held near to the head or other parts of the body are substantially greater than whole-body exposures arising from base stations.

One of the most important problems in all over the world is the pollution of the environment and water pollution is endangering a lot of species. This is a problem also for many countries, for ex-ample Albania, which are rich of olive trees and also produce a lot of OMW (olive oil mill waste water). OMW is a significant pollutant and its phytotoxicity is attributed mostly to the phenols present and it reduces a lot of oxygen. There exist fungi (Pleurotus ostreatus) that are screened for their ability to produce detoxifying enzymes or growing in OMW. And these types of fungi not only clean OMW, but also are used as a very healthy food with lots of proteins. It is mostly found in nature, but it can be easily cultivated artificially without adding other nu-trients or any pre-treatment. So Pleurotus ostreatus is an edible oyster mushroom, rich in pro-teins and vitamins, it cleans OMW by removing phenolic.

Water eutrophication of Salto Grande Reservoir, province of Entre Rios, Argentina, has great impact on the development of toxigenic cyanobacteria blooms. Many cyanobacteria species are producers of toxins, resulting in severe health and economic and environ-mental effects. In order to attend to the problem of the regional cyanobacterial blooms, the aims of this research were: to design, develop and apply alternative methodologies to maximize the re-moval of cyanobacteria cells found in a water body.The effectiveness of ozone in the removal of cyanobacteria was analyzed. CYANO Out! produced results that could contribute to improve the quality of the regional water resources used for rec-reational purposes and of the drinking water in the city of Con-cordia.

Nowadays, enzymes play an important role in many branches of industry. It is especially important to perfectly adapt fermenta-tion processes to them in order to produce goods as efficiently as possible. This often requires very high temperatures. This was also the case with our chosen enzyme: the alpha amylase. The op-timum working condition for the amylase that is used in industrial contexts is between 82 and 86 degree Celsius. If it were possible to create an amylase with a lower optimal working temperature, even if it were only by a few degrees, much in the way of CO2 emissions could be spared. Synthetic biology, a new, growing branch of scientific research, is making it possible to change the structures of enzymes. If one or more of the canonical amino acids are exchanged for synthetic ones, proteins with totally new prop-erties can be created.

Nanotechnology refers broadly to a field of applied science and technology whose unifying theme is the control of matter on the atomic and molecular scale and the fabrication of devices within that size range. The ultrafine and submicrometer nickel powders have attracted a great deal of attention as an inexpensive internal electrode in multilayer ceramic capacitor. Monodisperse nickel powders have been prepared from Ni(CH3COO)2 in the presence of ethylene glycol (EG) as the solvent and the reductant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and NaOH by a modified polyol process. The spherical and hexagonal shape nickel powders with submicrom-eter size were synthesized. The particles of nickel have a size rang-ing from 0.25 to 0.40 μm with spherical and hexagonal shapes. Experiments showed that concentrations of SDS and NaOH are the main factors to effect the reaction. Nickel powder can be ob-tained when a suitable amount of NaOH exists in the solution.

Manufacturing an ion exchange resin using expanded polystyrene and the analysis of its retention of ionic heavy metals

An electric field modulated current to transport energy (i.e., heat) from a cold source to a hot source via n- and p-type carriers. In the proposed cooler, the heat removed from the cold source is the energy difference of field emitted electrons from the n-type and p-type semiconductors by the meanwhile. This thermoelectric (TE) cooler can be used in cooling none of using the toxic gasses (CLFC , and toxic gasses) to environment and prevent to need less energy as other cooler one.

The Styrofoam, expanded polystyrene, is widely used nowadays, however it is recycling through conventional methods is almost unknown and unfeasible. The inappropriate disposal of Styrofoam takes up a lot of space and, when it is thrown into rivers and seas it can harm entire ecosystems. The water contamination by ionics heavy metals can also be very dangerous. This essay proposes to help solve both these problems. With the chemical recycling of expanded polystyrene it is possible to alter its molecular formula, and the product can be useful for retention of ionic metals of the contaminated water. The process consists of adding a sulfonic group on the benzenic ring of the polyestyrene, in order to create a certain polarity and it will acquire the property of doing ionic changes.

The lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant biomass in na-ture, yet it isn’t used for human food, and its use as feedstock for biofuel production is not yet economically feasible. Most munici-palities in the north of the Rio de Janeiro state are agricultural, the main culture is the sugar cane. About sixty percent of the sugar cane energy are concentrated in the bagasse and straw, but the bagasse is burned and used to heat the boilers for electric energy generation. The dimethyl-ether (DME) from the sixty’s decade is used as propellant in replacement to chlorofluorocarbons in aero-sols, however in the final of the 90’s decade was discovered that the DME can replace the diesel and the liquefied petroleum gás (GLP), with a cetana index higher than diesel. The purpose that project is build a plant for production of the Bio-DME from ba-gasse and straw of the sugar cane, using for this scrap common.

Arsenic Removal

International project abstracts

Arsenic poisoning in drinking water is a health issue in many Asian countries. Many technologies have been developed for the removal of arsenic. Among those, using a modified homemade fil-ter media is a cheap, easy and an efficient technique. This method can remove fluoride and coliform bacteria which are the undesir-able and naturally occurring pollutants in water too.The procedure that was followed involved setting up the filter me-dia using two metal sheets tanks. Then, the components of the filter media such as pebbles, crushed brick, etc, were added. Fol-lowing this, groundwater (which contains arsenic and other un-desirable element) was continuously added to the filter tank for several hours.All in all, the maximum reduction of fluoride, arsenic and coli-form bacteria in percentage was 85.60%, 93.07% and 100% and their residual values were 0.72mg/l, 0.009mg/l and 0 coliform cells/100ml, respectively after a treatment time of 10h.

The Griffon vulture is a large bird of prey distributed in Southern Europe, North Africa and Asia, feeding mostly from carcass of dead animals. In the past it was widely disseminated in Bulgaria, but as a result of prosecution, destruction of habitat and poison induce-ments the population is dramatically decreased. Griffon vulture is included in IUCN Red List in Least Concern category and in Na-tional Red Book of endangered genus. Our aim is the restoration of the birds of this rare species in the country with the instruments of re-introduction. The activities of the project include import of birds from abroad, their acclimatization and providing of food re-source through instauration of the local stock breeding.

Every years, there’s about 3 millions gallons of oil spill into wa-ter. There are 4 methods to clean up the oil spill by using booms, skimmers, burning and chemical dispersant. But all of the using has their advantage and disadvantage. Our project using booms and skimmers to clean up the oil spill, it also has less disadvantage. Booms: include hair, straw, hay, fur, Floating barriers placed around the oil or around whatever is leaking the oil. Booms contain the oil so skimmers can collect it. Skimmers: boats, vacuum machines, and oil-absorbent plastic ropes that skim spilled oil from the water’s surface after booms have corralled it. The skimmer collects oil into a container so it can be removed.These 2 methods have more advantage and less disadvantage. By doing the experiment, we can see that the straw absorb more per-centage of oil then the hair.

Chemicals, we use them almost every day, when we wash our hands, take a shower, wash our clothes, dishes and clean our living places. What happens next is releasing many types of hazardous chemicals with used water. Municipalities has installations that helps to clean used water and release it back to the nature but the water that should be cleaned is in very huge amounts and the method used mostly helps to clean solid wastes from used water. Chemicals and especially detergents still remain in the water. We propose a solution to clean different chemicals from home used water before being wasted. We have assembled a wide range of information on common water contaminants, detergents, wa-ter filter methods and technologies to realize our idea and build a product device.There are two principal mechanisms by which activated carbon removes contaminants from water; adsorption and catalytic re-duction, a process involving the attraction of negatively charged contaminant ions to the positively charged activated carbon.

To find out why people think cell phones and wireless devices are a risk to living things, I read about it on the Internet. I discovered that these devices use radio frequencies which are called RF for short. RF is a type of radiation that has a low frequency and it is part of the electromagnetic field. Many people think that the ra-diation has a harmful effect on cells of people, plants and animals and can hurt growth and health of cells. There is especially a lot of concern about the wireless devices we use everyday like cel-lular phones and wireless computers because of how much we use them.

Vegetal Revigorisation

The main barrier for the propagation of woody species is age. That is to say, some very lignified and flowering conditions individuals need specific management to allow the rejuvenation of the tissue, whenever we work with IN VITRO techniques.In this research the rejuvenation technique was used as a method to revive material of an adult plant of mint. This technique is used to multiply individuals with specific genetic characteristics. Thus, the old or adults tissues reproduce themselves and grow at high-er rate. Rejuvenation technique was learned, Mint apical shoots grown up in a greenhouse were grafted in seed patterns. Thus we reached our research aim.

Technology developed by us essentially differs from existing tra-ditional methods. The new technology for reception of potash mineral fertilizer is based on application of sorption properties of natural zeolite-clinoptilolite, in particular on use of tempera-ture factor for enrichment of zeolites by potassium ion extracted from sea-water. In invention non-traditional, ion-exchange sorp-tion method for reception of potash fertilizer, where clinoptilolites are considered to be the most prospective sorbents due to their selective properties and cheap price is described. Fertilizer will be manufactured via simple, waste-less technology, using natu-ral zeolites of Georgian origin (Dzegvi and Tedzami deposits) and Black Sea water, without use of any chemical reagents thus repre-senting the new approach in fertilizer production which cheapens technology and the product.

One of the biggest problems in our earth is water shortage. Be-cause of this problem international meeting, conferences are be-ing organized on how to save water resources, how to find other water resources and how to decrease the water shortages. In our project, we want to introduce a new source of water without any new consumption of energy, money and effort. We hope that our project will help to save clean water and help people to live bet-ter life. Our water saving technique starts from saving droplets of water but as you know continuous droplets of water turns to sea. Our project’s main idea is to collect the condensed water in air-conditioners and use the collected water in different areas. As you know air conditioners’ are widely used in all around the world. Project can be used everywhere, there air-conditioner is used.

CAP (City Air Purifier) for mitigating urban air pollution

Climate change, population growth, reducing the amount of ag-ricultural land and agricultural techniques that can cause prob-lems such as lack of food so that food prices surged. Therefore, the method required a multi-scale farmers. Method of multi-scale farmers are rice cultivation techniques using natural materials and environmentally friendly with the media and potting soil as a bio-reactor and produce better results. The balance of natural ecosys-tems will be maintained because the human food needs are met without damaging the food chain.

An activated carbon was prepared from durian peel waste and used for the water treatment purpose. An activated carbon is the most popular absorbent for the absorption process since it has high absorption capacity, but commercially available activated carbon are expensive and so they may not be economical for wa-ter treatment, if an activated carbon with high absorption capac-ity for water treatment purpose can be produced from low-cost or waste material, then it use as an adsorbent should be economi-cal. Durian is one of the famous fruit commodities in Indonesia. The amount of durian peel generated and direct discharge of this solid wastes will causes the environmental problems. The activat-ed carbon was prepared using chemical activation method with potassium hydroxide as the activating agent. The activation was conducted at 673,15 K for 1 hours with mass ratio of chemical acti-vating agent to durian peel waste 1:2 batch kinetics and isotherm studies were conducted to evaluate the adsorption behavior of the activated carbon from durian peel waste. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model were used to describe the equilibrium dat.

Used cooking oil is defined as synthetic oil remained after applica-tions of frying. This improper disposal of reused frying oil is very harmful for human being, also in restaurants a large amount of oil is wasted daily. And those wasted oil can pollute the environment, e.g. each volume of oil can pollute at least more than 250’000 vol-umes of water.—The aim of our project is re-refining of waste cooking oil by lo-cal clay treatments and also the reuse of the frying oil many times which saves money. Furthermore, production of bleaching clays from local natural clays. In addition, the Oil recovery from the spent clay and also the Regeneration and recycling of the spent bleaching clay.

Plants use carbon dioxide and produce oxygen through chloro-phyll photosynthesis, they are involved in the reduction of the concentrations of harmful pollutants and emit volatile organic hy-drogen. These varied and rapidly volatile substances are the main components of resins and essential oils which give each plants a peculiar scent or flavour. Under certain weathering conditions these compounds are also considered as precursors of the ozone in the lower atmosphere which is dangerous to human health. Bvocs are released by the various species according to different methods (both during the day and only at night). As a conse-quence we can say that the management of urban greenery is an important means of air quality control.Our project aims at:• the experimentation of alternative methods of dry leaf bio-

mass assessment in urban areas• the estimation of bvocs emissions of plants in central Voghera• the understanding of bvocs role in the formation of tropo-

The hidden precious coconut water

Atmospheric air is necessary for respiration of living organisms (creatures), used in the process of burning and melting the raw materials for the production of oxygen, nitrogen, inert gases, car-bon monoxide. The atmosphere is a medium to accommodate the waste gas production. Under the influence of rainfall, solar radia-tion and as a result of the forest air mass air gets rid of impurities. This process is called self-purification of the atmosphere... The composition of the atmosphere is in a state of dynamic equi-librium, supported by such climatic factors as the movement of air masses (wind and convection) and atmospheric deposition, ani-mal waste and vegetable kingdoms, especially forests and ocean plankton, as well as a result of cosmic processes, geochemical phenomena of economic activity rights.

Purpose of this project is to show advantages on using Geomem-branes in protecting Environment and to show structure of geo-membranes, its characteristics, opportunities of using and influ-ence on Ecology. Geomembranes have been used since the 1950s and their use has steadily increased as a result of water resource concerns, containment from oilfield extraction and fuel handling facilities. Polymeric or synthetic hydraulic barriers (geomem-branes) have been used in civil engineering applications for over 60 years. Since their introduction in the late 1960s, geosynthetics have proven to be versatile and cost effective ground modification materials. Geosynthetics also have become essential elements as barriers in environmental and hydraulic applications.

Many studies have been carried out to determine the effective-ness and reliable factors in removing metal ions from wastewater using low cost absorbent. As in this regard Kishnica mine water possesses a risk to the environment and thus the people since it contains many ions such as Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cu.The mine in Kishnica is not used anymore and does not have any filter system, because of raining it pollutes some rivers in that area. Thus this project is focused on human hair as an alternative ab-sorbent in order to remove Fe, Mn, Zn, ions (high concentration) from industrial acidic waste water.

Extensive forests of common walnut Juglans regia L. occur in the mountains of the Fergana and the Chatkal Ranges of Kyrgyzstan (Central Asia), where they form a rich cultural landscape with a mosaic of natural and planted forest stands, fields, pastures, and drier open areas. These remote forests are likely to be an impor-tant genetic resource for J. regia, not only for in situ conserva-tion but also as a resource for tree breeding. Pollen and charcoal analyses of the sediments of four lakes and two peat bogs in the core regions of the walnut forests provide new data to infer the vegetation history of the last 6800 years in the Fergana and Chat-kal Ranges in Kyrgyzstan. Our results suggest that the potential natural forests or woods in the modern walnut forest region were dominated by Juniperus together with trees of Betula, Fraxinus, Rosaceae, and possibly Acer.

Revolutionary New Nitrogen Enriched High Quality Bioethanol Fuel from Cellulosic Agricul-tural Residues

International project abstracts

The purpose of this project is to combat against fossil fuels by pro-ducing bioethanol from different cellullosic raw materials which indeed are abundant and outside of the human food chain. The advantage is that CO2 will remain neutral due to the fact that growing phase of plant crops absorbs the same amount of CO2 that is produced in the combustion of the fuel. Since ethanol’s en-ergy efficiency is relatively less than that of fossil fuels, mixtures of ethanol and gasoline are drawing more attention. They also can be considered environmental-friendly because ethanol acts as an oxygenetor in the gasoline contributing to a cleaner burn. But again the mixtures of ethanol and gasoline do not reach the en-ergy efficiency of pure gasoline that’s why another important pur-pose of our project was to find a substance which will increase the efficiency when added to the mixture, so people would be happy to use environmental-friendly ethanol based and nitrogen en-riched fuels which would give a contribution for a greener Earth.

Research into the potential use of earthworms to break down and manage sewage sludge began in the late 1970s and the use of earthworms in sludge management has been termed vermicom-posting or vermistabilization. Sewage sludge also known as bio-solids is what is left behind after water is cleaned in waste treat-ment works. It is high in organic content and plant nutrients and in theory makes good fertilizer. However most developed coun-tries regulate its use because it also can contain a multitude of metals organic pollutants and pathogens.

One more crusade for the Chapala Lake

The realm of modernization have sucked out many of the earth ‘s fuel resources. Methane gas released by waste Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) of palm oil plant and mining of coal contributes to the green house effect. Abundant waste plastics brings a great threat to the ecosystem. Imagine if we could create an abundant source of energy, more powerful than fossil fuels, help saves the environment and the best thing is it’s renewable. Therefore, we conducted a study on the potential of recycling waste plastic bag and Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) fibre in reducing greenhouse gas emission and producing a green solid biofuel to replace lignite coal in thermal energy gen-eration.

There are three main threats that give disastrous outcomes to the ecosystem, oil spill in the open sea, non-biodegradable wrapping plastics and logging to accommodate the paper industry. The cur-rent oil absorbent available in the market nowadays are more of fibers with hydrophilic characteristics. As a result, the oil been ab-sorbed cannot be reused and causing total lost to the oil compa-nies. It is estimates that billions of Malaysian Ringgit(RM) lost due to this cause for the past ten years.The objective of this project is to produce oil absorbent that not only created from the Empty Fruit Bunch(EFB) as a recycling initia-tive but at the same time able to reuse back all the absorbed oil after that. On top of that to this, we also hope to produce a biode-gradable wrapping paper from the same material.

Considering it isn’t the only specie that is in danger of extinction, just that I believe its an emergency to save this specie because it indicates what conditions the lake is in and allow us to be familiar with its ecosystem. Therefore my investiga-tion procedure is the recovery of the native species of Lake Cha-pala and its essential for survival alternatives. It is necessary, since this specie is in first place of the food chain of all living species in this lake and this investigation will indicate what is happening with this specie will also happen to the other species.

The depletion of world petroleum reserves and the increased en-vironmental concerns have stimulated the search for alternative sources for petroleum-based fuel, including diesel fuels. Because of the closer properties, biodiesel fuel from vegetable oil is con-sidered as the best candidate for diesel fuel substitute in diesel engines. With increasing demand on the use of fossil fuels, stron-ger threat to clean environment is being posed as burning of fossil fuels is associated with emissions like CO2, CO, SOx, NOx and par-ticulate matter and are currently the dominant global source of emissions. The harmful exhaust emissions from the engines, rapid increase in the prices of petroleum products and uncertainties of their supply have jointly created renewed interest among the re-searchers to search for suitable alternative fuels.The prices of fuel are going up day after day in the world. So, ways and means have been sought for many years to be able to pro-duce oil-substitute fuel.

Low Cost Non Structured Fe B Catalyst for the Production of Hydrogen from Sodium Borohy-dride for Fuel Cells

International project abstracts

Leather processing is one industrial sector that generates toxic and metal bearing wastes in different forms. Among them the tannery effluent are major threat for water bodies and soil. The physico-chemical analyses of tannery effluents revealed its hazardous nature. Pollution parameters like pH, EC, COD, TDS, NaCl percentage and amount of Carbonates, Bicarbonates and Chlorides were quite in excess. Heavy metals like Cr, Cu, Zn and non heavy metals like Ca, Na, and K were also estimated. The amounts of two toxic metals Cr and Na were found to be excep-tionally high. So the removal of toxic elements is a necessity be-fore discharging these byproducts into the environment.

Hydrogen is considered the cleanest gas to be used as a fuel source and is a good candidate for powering PEMFCs. After the fossil fu-els run out, this is another choice to turn to. This experiment was designed to improve the kinetics of the reaction involved in the liberation of Hydrogen gas from the borohydride solution using a fabricated catalyst.Data analysis revealed that the greater the mass of the catalyst, the faster the hydrogen generation and the greater the amount of hydrogen produced, in both volume and mass. But, the non-struc-tured catalyst generated more hydrogen, since more surface area is exposed to the solution than with the structured catalyst, even though they have the same mass. At 0.01 level of significance, there is no significant difference between the presence and ab-sence of NaOH in the solution, and the mass of the catalyst affects the total hydrogen generated in a span of 30 minutes and to the average instantaneous rate of generation.

Urban climate studies are conducted to determine the extent of the urban heat island. The impact of a city on the mezoclimatic conditions depends on the territorial size of a city, population number, level of industrialization and intensity of urban develop-ment. On the other hand climatic conditions at the local (or mi-croclimatic) scale are determined by the impact of various types of buildings and entire urban complexes and other facilities, such as green areas or water bodies. Another quite important value is an albedo. The relationship between radiation and absorption will influence it too. The aim of the investigation is to check the extent of Warsaw urban heat island and the influence of Vistula River on its size and shape.

The project aims at widening the beaches, by bringing in sands from external sources, in order to diminish the subsequent erosion. The expan-sion of the beaches located at the base of the ridge provides an important surface for the works for the stabilization thereof, which will consist of reducing the angle of the ridge incline to a slighter slope, ensuring an efficient drainage system and mounting tiles on the ridge base, to protect it from the action of the waves. The new beaches created by this project will attract a great number of tourists in the area and they will contribute to the local economy.

Producing Biofuel By Utilizing Cellulose Of Waste Materials

The aim of this project is to make eco-friendly fuel from dried corn and waste paper which is an alternative to the conventional veg-etable oil used in bio diesel. The fuel used as a petrol substitute for road vehicles is bio ethanol. Bio ethanol fuel is mainly produced by the sugar fermentation process, although it can also be manu-factured by the chemical process of reacting ethylene with steam. Bio fuel is becoming essential as the world’s carbon fuels are run-ning out by the second. Using bio fuel will lower the greenhouse gas emissions all over the world contributing to saving our planet. Corn can be grown in great abundance all around the world. For this project we used dried corn and wastepaper to make bio fuel. Our expected result for our project is to make E85ethanol. We ex-pect the mixture to fully ferment in 3 days.

Thailand has wastewater problem due to food wastes. Food shops and stalls everywhere on road specially and they produce efflu-ents rich in vegetable oils and fats. The sewage system in Thailand is not developed. So every year these oils and fats in wastewaters cause several problems, dramatically damage the aquatic envi-ronments. Thus biological wastewater treatment is interested by different methods. One of them is lipase-producing microorgan-isms, works with same principle that human body secretes lipase to digest the fats. So if the human body can breakdown the fats by lipase enzymes, then bacteria which secretes lipase enzyme can breakdown the fats and oils in wastewaters.

Hydrochloric Acid is used to clean up steel structures, makes drill-ing process easy and accelerates the formation of hydrocarbons. During these processes different kinds of organic compounds has been used to prevent the corrosion of steel. One of the most effec-tive inhibitor among them was found as acetylenic alcohols. Ac-cording to experiment results high acid concentration increased corrosion rate. Corrosion rate is inversely proportional to inhibitor effectiveness. As the acid concentration increased inhibitor effec-tiveness decreased. For A.N. inhibitor effectiveness depends on organic acid. As a result we can say that acrylonitrile is a more effective inhibitor than methylmetacrylate.

By this way Plastics and other solid wastes are used again and more stronger and durable bricks, mortars and plasters are produced. With using these things, better, safer, healthier and environment resistant houses can be built. In addition, plastics and other solid wastes recycling prevent damage to the environment via excessive land-filling and use of non-renewable resources be-cause Plastics and other solid wastes cause serious environmental problems. For these reasons it is important that, where possible, plastics and other solid wastes are recycled.

Yeast as a bio sorbent for heavy metals in indus-trial waste waters

The basic idea of our project is that exogenous DNA fragments which coincide with sequence of DNA of the testing cell should influence its biochemical reactions because they bear some of the information about management of the cell.In our opinion, DNA fragments acted as DNA insecticides in our experiments due to mechanisms similar to DNA (Kawai-Toyooka et al., 2004) and RNA interference (Fire et al., 1998). We have shown that the result of their action probably was cell apoptosis. We used the virus DNA fragments as specific primers for PCR and found that there are many parts in the insect’s genome that are similar to them. Such results may explain the influence of viral DNA frag-ments on fly cells according to DNA interference mechanism.

According to the IPCC 2005 Ireland is home to one of the world’s largest peat reserve as 16%, 1.2 million hectares, of Ireland consist-ing of peat lands. However with increasing demands for electricity and fluctuating prices for fossil fuels, more and more pressure will be placed upon Ireland’s indigenous fuel source, peat. Therefore we want to explore evidence highlighting linkages be-tween the loss of peat lands and loss of biodiversity. There is con-vincing evidence that the number and seriousness of peat land removal and bogland drainage is increasing, therefore the flora and fauna are disproportionately affected.

In recent years the removal of heavy metals from waste waters has been a major ecological problem. The toxicity of heavy metal compounds have important implications for human and animal health, agriculture, ecological processes and biotechnology. Many different methods had been studied to remove the heavy metals from the industrial waste waters. One of the most success-ful ways is the biosorption of heavy metal ions by microorganisms.Our aim in this project was to remove the heavy metal ions by the help of bacteria found in yeast cells which is a part of our daily life, Saccharomyces cerevisae. We tested the biosorption effect of yeast with many different types of ions in different pH media. And finally we found a method available for everyone to use it without any difficulties and having 100 percent usage.

Process of making microorganic fertilizer from garbage straw

International project abstracts

Nowadays, water pollution problem is becoming more and more serious. One possible method to remove pollutants from water is adsorption. Among many known adsorbents, activated carbons are most widely used because of its high adsorption ability. Scrap-coir is a kind of waste from coconut fiber production pro-cess. In Vietnam, there is about 200,000-500,000 tons of scrap-coir eliminated every year. A little of them is used as organic soil for agriculture. Almost other scrap-coir quantity has been thrown into rivers. This cause a big pollution problem. So, it is essential to study applying the scrap-coir as raw material for production of activated carbon.

It also has few moving parts and a potential long life span with low costs of maintenance. The fuel cell has never been popular than now, purely because of its basic costs- the production of materials for the fuel cell are well known in the world of (aero)space technology en even sometimes it is known how much a fuel cell is going to cost. Nowadays more companies are making progress considering the use of fuell cells- Cars with fuel cell engines have the potential to be clean and silent- which will lead to a clean and better ( less vulnerable) environment. The world is therefore now ready for the introduction of fuel cell technology.

Then we looked at the area , the Netherlands, and we looked at a common product, the bicycle. On the bicycle there is a dynamo which you only use when it’s night for light. So we developed a charger which you can attach to your dynamo, and because of a universal port you can recharge any kind of recharge-able device. And so the MRS was created.HypothesisWe are going to design a system that switches AC to DC , so we can recharge mobile phones and other devices. We expect that we can develop a device which can recharge a mobile phone in a short time with-out using more energy to bike. Possible problems could be: not enough currency, overloaded parts and the size of the device be-cause it has to fit on handlebars.

A plastic soup is a mass of plastic garbage in the ocean, the cur-rents hold it together. After making a long list of ideas I have tried to make a schematic system of removing en recycling. This sys-tem is based on four steps. The first step I’ve called: to bubble. It is called so because I use air flotation in this step, what I want to reach in this step is that the little pieces of plastic between 10 and around 3 meters deep will rise to the surface, now there’s only plastic between the surface and around 3 meters deep. Now the second step is to make a higher concentration of that plastic, the way I use is difficult but maybe better than other ones, it is screen-ing. Now I’ve to collect all the little pieces of plastic from step 1 and the other plastic I’ve concentrated in step 2. I will do this in step 3 and I shall explain that later. The last step is to recycle al the plastic with a technique called pyrolysis.

We only need to find a way to make use of this natural phe-nomenon, but in this project we’re not only going to focus on the natural situation but also on the manmade situation. In this proj-ect we’re trying to use both factors to create energy: rainwater is transported through rain gutters, we want to save the rainwater in an isolated storage in the building. There, the water will travel to the water wheel and the water wheel will start to spin and the dynamo (plugged next to the water wheel) will start producing energy. That way it will produce 100% green energy.

Our idea was to put a sewage installation into a polluted river. This system filters the water and brings it back to a warehouse. On its way it will be filtered and the parts that can be recycled go to an-other warehouse. The other parts go to the store and stay there for a while to dry. After that it goes to the furnaces where they are burned. The harmful substances (CO2, etc.) will be transferred via a pipe system to the greenhouses. And there the plants turn the CO2 into oxygen: two times good for the environment!

Our project is very easy to explain. All around the world, in the big oceans, are floating plastic fields. The plastic didn’t have big con-sequences for the human yet. This is the main reason why almost nobody ever did something about this problem. A very important aspect of the plastic is that it kills lots of animals. We want to find a solution for this problem. The area of the plastic is more than 15 million square kilometers. We decided to use old or new fishing boats and let then fish for the plastic. Then these fishing boats take the plastic to a mother ship or platform in the sea. The plastic which is brought there can be recycled. New plastic can be made of it, or it can be made into oil.

Our idea is to make capsules where we can put the CO2 in. We will put those capsules in to the ground in forests. When there is a fire we can detonate those capsules and the CO2 will be exploded into the air which will takes the oxygen away from the air en will smother the fire.

The brothers Engelen wanted to build a new barn in Someren (Holland), but they had to meet the legal norm E3.3. To meet this norm we found a solution to reduce the NH3 emissions and crill in their chicken barn.The requirements were:• The NH3 emissions may be a maximum of 0.188 kg per chick-

en.• The solution has to meet the environmental norm E3.3 which

is: the total amount of NH3 emissions may not be higher than 2,632 kg.

• The chickens may not be disturbed by the new solution: they have to feel at ease and their daily rhythm may not be dis-turbed.

We’ve researched if it’s possible to install a turbine in the water works to get energy from tap water. The problem is that in every-day life much water is lost. But you can generate energy from this waste water. If you place a turbine in the water works, perhaps you can generate energy. If you gave each household (7.31 mil-lion) +/- 4 turbines, you would get 29.24 million turbines. We have researched how we can use this.

There is a lot of research going on about the health risks of phone masts too. In chapter four I tried to answer the question which of the two mobile phone or phone mast is more risky for human healthI hope you will get to know everything you want to know about the risks on health from mobile phone radiation.

The new city

Our school has provided us with the opportunity to participate in INESPO. The idea we have come with is to reducing our planet’s environmental problems by finding a way to generate renewable energy. Our idea is to generate energy using wind. The wind blows against a loosely stretched wire, making it vibrate. Magnets at-tached to both ends of the vibrating wire almost touch two coils. Thus an electric current is generated. Generating electric energy using this method helps reduce the use of fossil fuels, thus help-ing to slow down a further pollution of our planet

There is a big lack of clean drinking water especially in poor coun-tries, like in Africa. This water purifying system could provide a small village of clean water everyday. The only source of energy it needs is the sun. This purifier could be made very cheap and you can purify seawater with this. And we have plenty of seawater and plenty of sun.

We have explored the best way of setting up a city, and if the quar-ters of the city can be heated by the cooling water of the factories. This is how we plan to do it. The houses will be heated by the cool-ing water of the factories. In the pipes with cooling water energy is being generated by generators. With the remaining past of the cooling water cars can run on hydrogen.

We wanted to build a mill in a chimney because there you have warm air that rises. Thus, the mill starts turning and if you have an equally large chimney like a windmill, then it creates as much energy as a windmill.

As we all know we as mankind suffer from a huge energy short-age these days. We don’t have enough fossil fuels to keep the con-sumption for energy up. On top of that these fuels are also very bad for the environment. A solution for this problem is renewable energy like solar, wind or tide. In the area of the Mediterranean coast and country you’ll see a lot of solar heating systems. These are used for heating water which can then be used for warm wa-ter for the shower or other utilities. In Germany you’ll see a lot of solar cells on the rooftops. These are used for generating electrical energy, which then can be used for all kinds of electrical machines like television, microwave or oven. But both are not as profitable as they should be. Our solution: try to combine these two ways of generating energy to get one better way for generating electricity and try to find a way for the highest profitable rate. This is because a solar cell gets very hot after standing a day in the sun.

If current trends continue, within a few years most of the foods we eat could be genetically engineered. Transnational corporations want us to believe that this food is safe, nutritious and thoroughly tested. Independent scientists, however, warn us that current un-derstanding of genetics is extremely limited. They believe that this technology is flawed and carries inherent risks.

We invented a system where we are using rain to create electricity. It is the same as Electrolyse. We are putting copper wires at a roof en connect this with a battery. When the rain is falling down on the roof it is streaming down over the wires. When this is happen-ing there will be created a difference in voltage throughout which we can create electricity.

Dutch project abstractsConverting of greenhouse gasesAs we know the biggest environmental problem is excess of greenhouse gases. Therefore, we decided to solve the biggest issue in the climate problem. We are going to collect the green-house gases from the athmosphere, carbondioxide, and convert it with calciumhydroxide into calciumcarbonate. We get than calci-umcarbonate that we can use it in further processes. This will lead to a reduction of carbondioxide in the athmosphere.

A hybrid car is basically a car with two engines. One that works on gas and the other one works on electricity. So technically speak-ing, every car that has two engines is called a hybrid car. A hybrid car exists out of; an internal combustion engine, a fuel tank, an electrical motor, a fueltank and a battery. Then you have several types of hybrides; a full-hybrid, a parallel-hybrid, and a micro-hy-brid. All of these types of hybrides use two engines, it’s just how the two engines co-operate.
