The adsorption of lead (II) ions from fertilizer wastewater using Acid Modified Eggshell (AMES) as adsorbents was studied. The effects of process parameters such as temperature, contact time, pH and adsorbent dosage on the adsorption of Lead (II) ions from fertilizer industrial w...
This research work focused on extracting dye from the surface of dyed polyester fabric and also investigates the effect of exposing the extracted dye solution to diffused light and changes in temperature which are common processes in dry cleaning industries. This is to establish...
Aims: In this research work the viability of producing silicon carbide reinforced aluminium composite using indigenous casting technology has been investigated. Place and Duration of Study: AfDB Lab, African University of Science and Technology, Abuja between August 2018 and Sept...
This research appraises the possibility of using bricks as an alternative to sandcrete block towards solving the housing problem of the lower income group in Nigeria. The study adopted the survey method through interview and questionnaires. The simple random sampling approach was...
Aim: Fibre serves primarily as support to the plant and its characteristics are essential for growth, being also a considerable factor for pulp and paper production. Debarking of tree logs is one of the steps in converting wood into chips suitable for pulping. However, the bark o...
Graphite as a conventional anode material has been unsuccessful in satisfying the requirements of future high-performance lithium-ion batteries due to its low theoretical specific capacity (372 mAh g−1) and low operating potential (~0.1 V). This has resulted in strong demand for...
Light plays an important role in many functions of the human body. It improves visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and colour perception while improving mood, memory and maintaining hormonal balance through the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle. The low wavelength violet-blue li...
In this study, the jute polyethylene nanocomposites were developed using hot-press technique. In order to enhance the compatibility between fiber, polymer and nanofillers, chemically treated jute (with 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxy silane) and organically modified nanoclay were use...
Major problems encountered in industries, science and engineering is corrosion failure. The gravimetric, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique and Vickers hardness test were employed in investigating the anti-corrosion process of Aluminum alloy in acidic envi...
