THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Air Pollution is a particulate matter resulting from burning fossil fuels

forming car soot. It comes from many vehicles and machinery. The transportation

sector is one of the major sources of air pollution, with passenger cars being the

biggest contributor. This in turn can cause global warming, harm to millions of

people by inhaling carbon emission and even damage our environment by

contaminating water and soil, since we are talking about carbon soot builds up from

vehicles and machinery this can be used as a source of material for different

industries since it is very rich in carbon.

In fact, almost every ink that we use for writing, printing, calligraphy, and

drawing are made in carbon soot. The purpose of this is to create an alternative to

make black ink. Some of this soot is from burning coconut husks, woods, and fuels.

But these carbon soot processes produce pollution again due to burning that causes

carbon emission.

Carbon emission poses harm to human health affecting the respiratory system

of humans causing asthma, wheezing, carcinoma, etc. In scientific fact exposure to

carbon dioxide can produce a variety of health effects and as carbon soot builds up in

the exhaust pipe of the vehicle it expels smoke made from the incomplete

combustion of the vehicle. Carbon soot is the consequence of incomplete combustion


CONVERTING CARBON SOOT INTO INK
HERMOSA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
of petroleum products, wood, fuel oil, plastics, and household refuse while diesel

emissions from vehicles, domestic heating, and wildfires are the primary sources of

carbon soot emissions (Dhone, Mayur 2021).

In line with that, it is essential to understand the influencing factors of vehicle

emissions and establish a corresponding evaluation model for the emission

estimation of operating vehicles. These include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous

oxide, ozone, and water vapor and trap the sun’s heat and they warm the average

global temperature, causing it to rise. There are growing evidence suggests that

environmentally relevant elevations in carbon dioxide concentrations could make

adverse exposures more frequent and prolonged through increases in indoor air

concentrations and increased time spent indoors which produced adverse effects of

air pollutions to the health, society, environment, and even mental conditions

according to Pu Lyu, Osmanski, Jacobson (2021).

On the other hand, when it comes to pollution, it is a real issue that make it

something that no one wants, but when you focus and look at it from a material

standpoint, it is really quite rich in carbon. By developing this carbon soot from car

can turn into ink Khan (2021).

In addition to this, the black ink that we use in our pen or printers for our

daily lives is essentially made from soot. This soot is the powder that remains after

burning coal or oil. Then the soot collected is mixed with a polymer and solvent to

turn it into smooth ink Lallensack (2019).

Moreover, some engineers and researchers in India create a device that can

capture soot from emissions from vehicles then make a maker out of it. Buy heating

the collected soot and use chemical to remove impurities, then mix it with solvent
CONVERTING CARBON SOOT INTO INK
HERMOSA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Rishi Rajan at et al (2021).
Typically, these inks that are usually made from synthetic materials like

petroleum and chemical solvent are hazardous especially to human health or mainly

to users’ health and to the environment.

In fact, studies have shown long-term exposure to the solvent (chemicals used

in ink) linked to various health problems. There is much evidence that these

chemicals have negative effects on fertility and unborn fetus, as well as on several

organs, including nervous system, skin, liver, blood, and kidney. Rose-Innes (2005).

Based on the citations above, the researchers aim to address the air pollution

by collecting soot from diesel powered vehicles and find a practical use of it. Also, to

develop a new process of converting carbon soot into ink that is more effective,

efficient and environmentally friendly.

Statement of The Problem

The problem being addressed is the need for a practical and efficient method

for converting carbon soot into ink. The purpose of this research is to develop a new

method for converting carbon soot into ink that is effective and efficient.

Specifically, this study attempted to answer the following questions:

1. How may the profile of the respondents be described according to:

1.1 sex; and

1.2 Age;

2. What is the evaluation of the ink as to:

2.1 consistency;
CONVERTING CARBON SOOT INTO INK
HERMOSA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
2.2 viscosity;

2.3 applicability; and


2.4 sustainability?

3. Is there a significant difference between the evaluation of the ink when

grouped according to profile?

4. What variables have the greatest impact on the conversion process?

Significance of the Study

The findings of the study will be deemed important for Community,

Environment, and Future Researcher.

Users. The users who utilize permanent markers would greatly benefit from

it. It also offers individuals a number of benefits, including a more natural and less

expensive way to get ink for their markers.

Community.

Environment. It will help the use of carbon soot instead of leaving it stuck in

exhaust pipes of the vehicles and spreading the soot in the air.

Future Researcher. The findings of this study can be used as a basis for

further data for future researcher on this topic. These findings may also be able to

inspire future research on the potential uses of other forms of pollution, such as

industrial waste, as raw materials for new product.


CONVERTING CARBON SOOT INTO INK
HERMOSA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Scope and Delimitations

The researchers aim to develop a new process of converting carbon soot into

usable maker ink out of diesel powered vehicles. The first limitation is the lack of the

availability of scientific instruments used to measure and balance each quantity and

properties of the materials. This can make it harder to accurately measure and

balance the quantities and properties of the materials, and may lead to unwanted

results. And lastly researchers only focus on the transportation vehicles in collecting

carbon soot due to several reasons. First, transportation vehicles are a major source

of carbon soot. Second, it is easily accessible. Then lastly, transportation soot is a

significant environmental problem.

CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

This chapter presents the relevant theories, related literature and studies,

conceptual framework, hypotheses of the study and definition of terms.

Relevant Theories

Michelsewn Theory (2018)

Soot formation is from incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels, such as

oil, natural gas, and wood. Although it has detrimental health and environmental

effects, soot is extremely important to many industrial processes, such as boiler

performance, glass production, and carbon-black generation for rubber-product

reinforcement and pigments. Soot is very similar to graphite that can turn into liquid

using high temperature and mixing it with liquid like water.

Ink Transfer Theory. (Walker and Fetsko theory, 1955)

Ink can be transferred into paper but has three controlling parameters:

immobilisation, cavitation, and surface tension. The equation for ink transfer is based

on these three parameters. Also, viscosity has the biggest influence in ink transfer

mechanism.

The Molecular composition of Soot (Dr. Jacobson et al., (2020)

When hydrocarbon fuels are burned, soot (also known as black carbon) is

created. According to our theory, the majority of soot is made up of poly nuclear

aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules, which aggregate into primary particles in

the form of ordered stacks (PP). Here, we demonstrate how high-resolution mass
CONVERTING CARBON SOOT INTO INK
HERMOSA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
spectrometry imaging in conjunction with low-fluence laser desorption ionization

can precisely detect and characterize the soot's PAH composition. This aromatic

hydrocarbon is used in manufacturing paints, pigments, fuels, and more.

Based on the theories above the researchers conclude that the Walker and

Fetsko theory are the most related to this study. It says the equation on how this ink

made from soot can be affected by viscosity in applying it onto a paper surface

Related Literature

According to Abubakar, A. B. (2013), global environmental challenge today

is because of climate change that resulting in devastating effect such as flooding in

almost every country of the world. According to Statista statistics, the global

transportation sector is a major polluter that produced approximately 7.3 billion

metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and passenger car were the biggest

sources of emissions, accounting for 41 percent of global transportation emissions.

As stated by Avellar, J. (2020) in his article, greenhouse gases, such as

carbon dioxide and methane, are released through different human activities. Which

means human activities especially the use of car for daily life are the main

contributor of greenhouse gases. Ignoring this problem will may result to

unimaginable disaster and many unpleasant events in every place of this world.

The soot cannot be left as is as it contains carcinogenic particles and these

soot that collected from different automobile must be purified and processed to make

many kinds of ink. These inks can be used in many ways like making ball pens,

printing ink, painting, and marker. (Rao, 2018).


CONVERTING CARBON SOOT INTO INK
HERMOSA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
As indicated by Innovation, C. (2018) in his study, that the device called

Chakr Shield can trap carbon dioxide on its own without experiencing much back

pressure. Additionally, these carbon dioxides can process and used to create ink

pigment. This is pigment is can be used in paint, pens, textile printing, paper

printing,

etc.

As stated above Chakr Shield may be one of the best ways to address

pollution. But according to Moller, K. (2018), the inventor of Air-Ink Anirudh

Sharma has the perfect way of turning exhaust from diesel engines into black ink.

This can be converted into oil-based marker, spray cans, and paint.

As mentioned by Stein, E. (2017) in his article that company called Graviky

Labs and their device Air-Ink, which captures carbon soot developed under the

Kaalink team is having progress. The author also tackles especially about its

contribution to the world.

According to Lallensack R. (2019) in her article that the carbon soot (the

powder that remain in exhaust pipe can be used in pens or inkjet printer. The powder

is mixed with polymer and a solvent that will make a smooth black ink.

When using a pen, different troubles may occur. According to Nikolov, A.

(2020) in his article, using flex nibs pen you may encounter some troubles, which is

its ink leaks and spill over the paper surface. He also claims that air ink meniscus

that forms at the capillary valve and eventually breaks into air bubbles. These

troubles may cause problems to the pen and how it will work.
CONVERTING CARBON SOOT INTO INK
HERMOSA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
The toxicity of heavy metals has led to the replacement of many inorganic

pigments, that's why carbon black now replaces spinel black, rutile black and iron

black in nearly all black inks. The process of converting air pollution (carbon soot)

into ink is recycles for consumer safe ink. This process includes carefully

detoxifying heavy metals and particles carcinogens from the soot or carbon. Where it

could have been in the lungs of millions of people but are now beautifully resting as

art. (Singh,

2017).
Related Studies

New energy vehicle is also one the solution to growing level of air pollution.

But according to Yin, (2021), consumer demand for alternative fuel vehicles will rise

as carbon emission reduction technology used by businesses matures and improves,

and this trend will become more pronounced. However, if carbon emission reduction

technology is too expensive, manufacturers might not be as motivated to implement

technical innovation, research, and development, which prevents system

optimization.

As indicated by Al-Wakeel, H. B. (2013) in his study, “Soot Reduction

Strategy: A Review” as a first step, review the soot particles generation and their

influence on air pollution and illustrates the diesel particulate matter emission

regulation, composition, and characteristics including the size, shape, process, and

oxidation. Different strategies are presented from his article including the advantages

and disadvantages of each strategy. The method of using filter generation strategies

for reducing soot emission from vehicles is one those strategies.


CONVERTING CARBON SOOT INTO INK
HERMOSA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
According to study entitled, “Preparation of black Iyophilic ink using the

carbon soot emitted by vehicles” from Gopal, V. (2020) that the ink produced from

the scraped soot was comparable to commercially available inks in terms of color and

drying time. In the study, the researcher used a scraping tool to collect soot from the

exhaust pipe of a diesel vehicle. The collected soot was then processed to remove

impurities and used as the main component in the production of black ink.

Zugman, (2022), sought by answer as if the use of bio fuel could be a

legitimate means of carbon emissions reduction and if the biofuel could replace fossil

fuel sources for any major transport sector and their potential CO^2 reduction.
CONVERTING CARBON SOOT INTO INK
HERMOSA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Before proceeding to any strategies it is important to know the different

compound of carbon emission. As stated by Viskup, R. (2019) , diesel engine exhaust

emissions are not made up of pure carbon particle only. Instead there are is 8 separate

main compound: calcium, iron, magnesium, chromium, and aluminum.

Moreover, Voon, C. (2016) revealed in his study that capturing carbon soot and

the conversion of it to usable ink not only reduces air pollution but also gives people

other benefits. He added, a pen can be filled with about 30 milliliters of ink, which

determined that the amount of car emission that the gadget fitted to silencer can catch

in 45 minutes.

METHODS OF RESEARCH

Methods and Techniques

This study followed a quantitative research design which aims to discover

Innovative Process of Converting Carbon Soot into Ink.

This quantitative type of study utilized an experimental method to identify

the causal relationship between the research’s’ two variables namely independent

variable (carbon soot) and dependent variable (ink). As defined by Bhat, A., (2015),

quantitative research was a systematic investigation of phenomena using data

gathering.

Research Instrument

This study employed a survey that is a set of managed questions that is based

on the research output (ink) which is focused on gathering the opinions or responses

from respondents by using non-probability sampling. Since the researchers hopes to

acquire relevant information from respondents, we used purposive sampling by

selecting respondents from Hermosa National High School - Science Teachers from

Junior High School to Senior High School. The research instrument is then divided

into 2 parts.

Part 1 consists of the respondent’s profile such as their name, sex, and gender.
CONVERTING CARBON SOOT INTO INK
HERMOSA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Part 2 consist of the answer sheet that has numbers 1-5 from each four (4)

corresponding table where the respondents will rate the profile of the carbon soot

ink.

Construction and Validation of Instrument

The research instrument of the study had gone different process to assess its

reliability and validity before it was distributed to the respondents. The survey is

based on existing literatures and is validated from the examination of three (3)

professional research teachers. This was done to ensure the survey instruments

quality and value.

Data Gathering Procedures

The data for this research were collected manually by using surveys that is

given personally to respondents and retrieved personally by the researchers.

In regards to the experimental method the researchers started by collecting

the carbon soot from exhaust pipes of vehicles using scraping method. After the

collection process the researchers used grinding process by using mortar and pestle

to remove lumps of carbon soot and obtain fine carbon soot powder. Then the soot is

heated from solar energy. The researchers then applied vegetable glycerine to the

soot to attain the ink’s profile. The finished output is used as a subject from the

research survey to gather feedback from the said respondents, this can be used to

address the ink’s profile and identify areas for improvement.

Prior to proposal, a protocol was proposed, and it is described below:


CONVERTING CARBON SOOT INTO INK
HERMOSA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
I. Objectives
1. To compare the sugar-containing and less sugar-containing feedstock in
producing bioethanol;
2. To compare the qualities and characteristics of the said feedstocks producing
in bioethanol;
3. To test the following hypotheses:
H01: There are no significant differences between white radish and other
sugarcontaining feedstocks in producing bioethanol;
H02: There are no significant differences between white radish and other sugar-
containing feedstock in terms of appearance, smell, and heating value;

II. Background and Rationale


Bioethanol as an alternative source of energy as received special attention
worldwide due to depletion of fossil fuels. The cellulosic materials are cheaper and
available in plenty but their conversion to ethanol involves many steps and is
therefore expensive. Can less sugar-containing feedstock can produce bioethanol?
Can less sugar containing feedstock can be an alternative for producing bioethanol?
Bioethanol is an alcohol made by microbial fermentation. Mostly any plants
that are producing a large amount of bioethanol has a large amount of sugar and
carbohydrates, specifically; banana, pineapple, sugar cane, and corn etc. However,
the researchers use a less sugar feedstock which is white radish. White radish that
only had 1.86ml of sugar and 3.4ml of carbohydrates.
To produce an alternative bioethanol, the researchers create a bioethanol
using white radish. According to Struer, H., bioethanol is a colorless liquid with
characteristics of smell. In addition, Halder, P., et. al., (2019) stated that, bioethanol
is from fermentation of various fermentable sugar and carbohydrates. In order to
determine the efficiency of the white radish, the researchers used observation sheet
to distinguish the qualities and characteristics of bioethanol. After the observation,
the data gathered will be treated statistically using one-way Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA) to compare the results, to see if there is a significant difference on the less
sugar-containing and sugar-containing feedstock. III. Procedures

A. Research Design
Static and Experimental design was selected for this study. In this design the
selected sample is divide in to two, the high sugar containing feedstock (banana peel
and pineapple) and the less sugar containing feedstock (white radish). The less sugar
containing feedstock (white radish) is compared to the high containing feedstock
(banana peel and pineapple). After this treatment, the result of the comparison of the
both feedstocks will determine the efficiency of white radish as an alternative
feedstock in producing bioethanol.

B. Measurement / Instrumentation
This study employed a locally made observation sheet which focused on
discovering the efficiency of white radish as an alternative feedstock in producing
bioethanol. The research instrument is divided into one part.

Part 1 is about the qualities and characteristics of bioethanol where the
researchers are going to rate from 1 to 5 (5 being the highest) in terms of color, smell,
heating value.
C. Detailed study procedures
The study aims to answer if there is a significant difference between white
radish and other sugar-containing feedstock in producing bioethanol.
Mostly, sugar-containing feedstock is the most usable food crops for creating
bioethanol. The researchers use white radish as a main subject of this experimental
study. This feedstock is chosen because it is also having sugar thus, it is less. it will be
compared by two other sugar-containing feedstock (banana peel and pineapple) to
determine if white radish can produce bioethanol.
In this bioethanol production, the researchers use white radish, yeast, and hot
water. To produce bioethanol, the white radish should be fined by using blender, the
hot water should be 100℉ to ensure that the two and a half tablespoon of yeast will be
dissolve then mix the dissolved yeast to the fined white radish. After doing this
procedure, it will undergo fermentation process, that will take 1 week and a half to be
fully fermented. After this, get the fermented oil and distilled it to become transparent.
After producing bioethanol using white radish, the researcher tests this ethanol by
observation sheet, and compare it to the sugar-containing bioethanol (banana peel and
pineapple).
The result of ANOVA will be used to compare the less sugar-containing
(white radish) to sugar-containing feedstock (banana peel and pineapple). More
specifically, the test indicates how less sugar-containing feedstock produced
bioethanol. The data will be treated statistically to compare the results to see if there is
a significant difference on the less sugar-containing and sugar-containing feedstock.

D. Data Analysis

The data will be collected, tabulated and manipulated statistically using one-
way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). To find the significant difference between the
experimental and control groups, the developed null hypotheses will be tested.
