1. AN EXAMINATION ON THE REDUCTION OF OIL SPILLAGE USING WOOD PLASTIC COMPOSITE FROM SAW DUST, WHITE SAND AND LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE WASTE
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Composite is the mixture of a matrix and a reinforcement, which when combined produces qualities superior to those of the separate components (Adebajo, 2022). (Adebajo, 2022). Wood plastic composite (WPC) is consequently a mixt...
2. DEVELOPMENT OF EUCALPYTUS TERETICORNIS COMPOSITE (BARKS AND LEAVES) ADSORBENT FOR ADSORPTION OF CHROMIUM (VI) AND LEAD (II) IONS FROM SIMULATED WASTEWATER
Abstract
The research titled Development of Eucalpytus tereticornis composite for chromium (VI) and lead (II) ions adsorption from simulated wastewater was aimed to establish the efficacy of Eucalpytus tereticornis composite as an adsorbent applied in the adsorption of Cr6+ and Pb2+ ion...
3. ADSORPTION OF CHROMIUM(VI) AND COPPER(II) IONS FROM WELL WATER IN CHALLAWA INDUSTRIAL AREA USING PECTIN-CHITOSAN POLYELECTROLYTE COMPLEX
ABSTRACT
The aim of the research was to carryout adsorption study of the removal of chromium(vi) and copper(ii) ions from well water using pectin-chitosan polyelectrolyte complex as adsorbent. The optimum pH and ratio of pectin/chitosan was determined and the chitosan/pectin complex was...
4. OPTIMIZATION STUDIES OF PROCESS PARAMETERS FOR THE ADSORPTION OF COPPER AND ARSENIC IONS FROM SIMULATED WASTE WATER USING CHITOSAN AND CHITOSAN – ZEOLITE BEADS
ABSTRACT
This research presents the “Optimization Studies of Process Parameters for the Adsorption of Copper and Arsenic Ions from Simulated Waste Water using Chitosan and Chitosan – Zeolite Beads” which was achieved by developing adsorbents of chitosan and chitosan &n...
5. PREPARATION AND CHARACTERISATION OF PLANTAIN WASTE BASED CELLULOSIC NANOCOMPOSITES FOR THE REMOVAL OF SELECTED HEAVY METALS FROM BATTERY EFFLUENT
ABSTRACT
In this study, Ag NPs and Ag-CNCs impregnated on CNTs nano adsorbents were developed using a combination of green chemistry protocol and chemical vapor deposition techniques and subsequently characterized using, HRTEM, HRSEM, XRD, EDS and SAED. The adsorption capability of silv...
6. PYROLYSIS OF SHEA BUTTER SHELL TO PRODUCE BIO-BASED PRODUCTS
ABSTRACT
This research work focused on the production of bio-based products and response optimization of bio-oil yield operating parameters from shea butter shell. The Thermogravimetry Analysis (TGA) was used to determine the thermal stability of the shea butter shell and found to be st...
7. THE REMOVAL OF PHOSPHORIC COMPOUNDS FROM SURFACE WATER NEAR A FARMLAND USING MAIZE TASSEL IMMOBILIZED IN POLYVINYL ALCOHOL
ABSTRACT
In this study, proximate analysis and characterization techniques were carried out on maize tassel fibres in order to check its feasibility as a bio-sorbent for bio-sorption process before the immobilization with Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA). The moisture content, ash content, appar...
8. COAG-FLOCCULATION AND ADSORPTION OF PHARMACEUTICAL AND VEGETABLE OIL WASTE WATER USING NATURAL MATERIALS
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM.
Industrial wastewater has been posing a serious threat to the world, especially the African continent where the industrial wastwater treatment technology has not been fully developed and implemented by the industrialists. The industrialists are more concerned w...
9. KINETICS AND OPTIMIZATION OF PHENOL UPTAKE FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION USING AGRICULTURAL WASTES
ABSTRACT The uptake of phenol from simulated aqueous solution using agricultural wastes as adsorbents is the focus of this research work. The agricultural wastes used were corn cob and rice husk which were modified with tetraoxophosphate V acid (H3PO4) and carbonized to give corn cob activated ca...
10. REMOVAL OF TURBIDITY FROM PAINT AND BREWERY INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATERS USING SEQUENTIAL COAG-FLOCCULATION AND ADSORPTION PROCESSES
ABSTRACT
The continuous industrial development in Nigeria has resulted in the generation of industrial wastewaters. Thwastewaters are usually discharged without proper treatment which affects the environment. There are severatechniques applied in the treatment of wastewaters but c...
11. REMOVAL OF HEAVY METALS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION USING ACTIVATED CARBON PREPARED FROM AGRICULTURAL WASTES
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Human activities have led to immense pollution of our environment especially the water bodies. This is as a result of the discharge of inorganic effluents from industries directly into the environment without treatment due to the high cost of establishing or maintai...
