1. SYNTHESIS, FORMULATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PHENOL FORMALDEHYDE/CHITOSAN COMPOSITES
Abstract
The methodology of the experiment involves three main stages. The first part describes the synthesis of the PF (novolac) resins. Novolac (resins) were prepared with an excess of phenol over formaldehyde under acidic conditions. PF molar ratio were varied from 1P:2F to 1P:8F. Th...
2. ACETYLATION OF CORN COB AND MANGO KERNEL- KINETICS AND APPLICATION FOR NON-AQUEOUS ADSORPTION PROCESSES
Justification for the Research
Residents of wetlands like the Nigeria’s Niger delta are concerned about the environmental impact of residual oil spill into receiving surface waters and land. The adverse effect of oil spill to the ecosystem and the long term effect of environmental...
3. ACETYLATION OF SELECTED AGRICULTURAL WASTES- KINETICS AND APPLICATION FOR OIL SPILL CLEAN UP
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
When oil is spilt into the environment, it causes different kinds of pollution that have serious adverse effects on man, animals and plants. These adverse impacts to the ecosystems and the long term environmental pollution calls for urgent need to develop a wide ran...
