This research focuses on the fabrication of graphene oxide (GO) composite membranes using the Phase-Inversion Method, which transforms polymers from liquid to solid through phase separation. This process creates a porous membrane structure, making it highly adaptable, cost-effective, and suitable for wastewater treatment, separation processes, and industrial filtration applications. Graphene oxide, with its nano-layered structure, offers excellent molecular sieving properties, high water permeability, and chemical and mechanical stability, making it an ideal additive for membrane fabrication. The GO-based membrane demonstrates efficient removal of nanoparticles, heavy metal ions (Pb²⁺, Cr⁶⁺, Hg²⁺), organic pollutants, and microorganisms while exhibiting antifouling properties and high hydrophilicity due to oxygen-functional groups. Applications of this membrane include industrial wastewater treatment, desalination, and the removal of pharmaceutical contaminants, such as antibiotics and hormones. The incorporation of GO enhances membrane performance, providing a sustainable and energy-efficient solution for water purification.

Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) is an ornamental fish that is the first exported economically valuable fish in the country, but there is a limitation to increase the production of betta fish due to climate variability and the shortage of Thai workers. This research aims to develop 2 systems: a betta fish fry nursery system and a market-sized betta fish rearing system by using automated technology to precisely control the water quality in the system and reduce labor costs. Using precise automation consists of two systems: a minimal-waste system, which repurposes some of the waste generated from farming, and a zero-waste system, which treats and recycles all wastewater from farming. These systems aim to address issues related to water quality, animal welfare, and labor requirements in Betta fish farming. Experimental results show that these systems improve Betta fish survival rates by 10-15% compared to traditional methods. When considering net returns, the zero- waste system provides the highest profitability.

This research aims to develop an automatic gemstone color sorting machine to overcome the limitations of manual color sorting, which can be restricted by speed and accuracy. This study applies deep learning technology to analyze and classify gemstone colors precisely, developing an algorithm capable of accurately detecting and categorizing color shades. An automated conveyor system was also designed to efficiently transport gemstones through the color sorting process, allowing for continuous operation. The sorting machine works by capturing high-resolution images of the gemstones, processing them with software to classify color shades, and directing each gemstone to its designated position on the automated conveyor. Experimental results demonstrate that the automated color sorting machine, integrated with the conveyor system, achieves high speed and accuracy, significantly reducing labor costs and enhancing the efficiency of gemstone color sorting.
