1. DEVELOPMENT OF CAR PISTON MATERIAL FROM ALUMINIUM ALLOY USING COCONUT SHELL ASH AS AN ADDITIVE
| 67 | Student Researchers |
ABSTRACT
This research presents the development of a piston material from aluminium alloy using coconut shell ash as an additive. Most damage pistons reported in literature are as a result mechanical fatigue due to wear and thermal fatigue. Investigations revealed that aluminium alloys have relatively poor wear resistance, and researchers are concerned with reinforcing aluminium alloy for improved properties. The present work used coconut shell ash for the reinforcement. The coconut...

2. ASSESSMENT ON ANALYSIS OF WATER POLLUTION BY PHOSPHATE
| 67 | Student Researchers |
INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Phosphorus is usually present in natural water as phosphate and is an essential element of life, phosphate can come from fertilizers, human or animal wastes, soaps or detergents and industrial waste.[1] When too much phosphorus becomes available, plant grows rapidly.[1] Phosphate that enter a stream may cause algae to multiply and grow quickly, this may result in an algae bloom. Algae bloom are...

3. EXTRACTION AND STABILIZATION OF ALOE VERA GEL FROM THE PLANT
| 67 | Student Researchers |
INTRODUCTION
Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis miller) is a perennial plant of Liliacea with turgid green leaves joined at the stem in a rosette pattern, Aloe vera leaves are formed by thick epidermis (skin) covered curticle surrounding the mesophyll, which can be differentiated into chlorenchyma cells and thinner walled cells forming the parenchyma cells (filet). The parenchyma cells contain a transparent mucilaginous jelly which is referred to as aloe Vera gel....

4. A STUDY ON THE MODIFICATION, CHARACTERISATION AND APPLICATION OF COCONUT WASTES AS FILLERS IN RUBBER COMPOUNDING
| 67 | Student Researchers |
ABSTRACT
In this study, coconut palm wastes were obtained, washed to remove sands and debris and then dried at 95oC for 1 hr to remove surface moisture. Filler modifications through carbonisation were done at varying temperatures of 300oC, 400oC, 500oC, 600oC and 700oC. Both raw fillers and carbonised fillers were ground to achieve 100 µm particle sizes, after which they were characterised. Formulations were appropriately drawn for the mixing and compounding p...

8. ANALYSIS OF DOMESTIC SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
| 67 | Student Researchers |
ABSTRACT
Solid waste management has become the greatest problem facing many urban and semiurban areas in Nigeria. The management of solid wastes in recent time has become a very big challenge. The problem of waste generation, handling and disposal has reached a disturbing level in Nigerian urban centers. The study analyzed domestic solid waste management strategies in Tunga, Chanchaga Local Government, Niger State, Nigeria. This was achieved thr...

9. EVALUATION OF GLYCERINE RECOVERY FROM SPENT SOAP LYE PRODUCTION
| 67 | Student Researchers | Qualitative |
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Glycerine (propan 1, 2, 3 triol) is a discovered soluble in soap lye and as a residue in crude soap following the saponification of fats and oils with caustic soda. Traditionally, the process of soap production from fats and oils provides glycerin to roughly 10% of the value of the soap created, and due to its many applications, its recovery is important to the production cost analysis for any soap making firm. Because glycerin is an es...

10. A PHYSICOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF BOREHOLE WATER AND SACHET WATER IN OWERRI MUNICIPAL: ANALYTICAL COMPARISON
| 67 | Student Researchers | Quantitative |
Water to be used for human consumption must be meet certain requirements. It must be free of all disease causing microorganisms, low in concentration of compounds that are acutely toxic or that have serious long term effect on heath. Ideally water for drinking should be clear, free of odour and compound that can cause colour or taste. Drinking water from the ground is obtained by drilling boreholes and shallow wells through the existing water table to form a well point. In certain regions of...
