Thermal decomposition of ipil-ipil and kakauate

The study concerns the decomposition of ipil-ipil and kakauate in the absence of oxygen. Three different shapes of wood samples cubes (sides = 2 cm), slabs (length = 4 cm, width = 2 cm, height = 1 cm) and cylinders (length = 2.20 cm, diameter = 2.14 cm) were considered, and each tested under an inert nitrogen gas atmosphere, at temperatures of 200 C, 300 C, 400 C and at time intervals of 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 hours for each temperature. These variations were made to determine the effect of this parameters on charcoal yield.The study showed that charcoal yield of the wood sample increases from 200 C to 400 C and from 0.5 hours to 3 hours. At 200 C and 300 C, charcoal yield varied for the three shapes used but at 400 C, charcoal yield were almost the same. This is true for both ipil-ipil and kakauate. Lastly, at the same conditions of time, temperature and shape, ipil-ipil had a higher charcoal yield over kakauate

This 12-minute video documentary is about street children who are and were under the care of three different homes. Subjects of the documentary are Eduardo from Don Bosco Tuloy Foundations, Jet of the Pangarap Shelter, while Luis and Pablito were from Senden Home. The video will focus on the four subjects concerning their lives as children on the streets, to how they were brought in to the said homes, their lives in the homes, and finally to the point of self-sufficiency
