In this research, effort to convert waste to wealth was explicated in the usage of agro waste materials of regenerative resource, almond endocarp (Terminalia catappa) and tamarind seeds (Dialium guineense), as precursors for activated carbon production through thermal and chemica...
Beeswax is a lipid component obtained from the dregs of cooked honey and then filtered to obtain wax. The advantages of beeswax as a raw material for edible film are that it is classified as food grade, available throughout the year, use is still limited, price is relatively chea...
The quality of welds is greatly influenced by the weld bead geometry and mechanical-metallurgical properties of the welded joint which have a direct relationship with the type of welding process being used and its input process parameters such as welding current, gas flow rate, a...
Groundnut shells were milled to 100 microns and bioethanol was produced using acid hydrolysis and batch fermentation process. Acid hydrolysis was achieved using 5% sulphuric acid solution at 900C for 2 hours. Fermentation was proceeded after sterilization of wort in an autoclave...
Phenol–formaldehyde (PF) adhesive was successfully modified using lignin from palm fruit empty bunches and gluten from wheat four. The polymerization reaction was carried out under basic medium. 90% substitution of the phenol component of the Phenol–formaldehyde adhesives was ach...
Wood ash has a long antecedent in the history of ceramic glaze making. Various efforts have been made by potters and researchers to obtain ash from other sources apart from wood which include rice husks, bamboo, bones, etc. This study took a step further to obtain ash from palm k...
Aims: The effect of magnesium (II) and lithium (I) ions concentration on mixed electrolyte of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) for the electrical conductivity of magnesium and lithium cells were studied. Methodology: The DMSO-THF system was evaluated quantitativ...
Objective: Besides the prevention of caries and periodontitis, an increasing number of oral care products focus on teeth whitening. Nowadays, teeth whitening is considered as one of the most common and inexpensive method for treating discoloration of teeth. Dental esthetics has b...
Steel milling companies are taking advantage of readily available scrap metals as raw materials to produce reinforcing bars. Major steel importers also continue to import reinforcing bars into the country to fill the gap between production and demand for steel reinforcing bars in...
The modified Harris Process which uses sodium carbonate and sodium nitrate is currently being used to remove antimony during the lead purification process in the battery manufacturing process. This study investigates the possibility of using sodium nitrate alone to remove antimon...
