The future value of graphite due to its use in lithium-ion batteries, and the scientific possibilities of graphene has markedly increased both the demand and consequently the price of natural flake graphite amidst flat global supply in the last decade. Despite the boom, most grap...
The photodegradation of two Azo reactive dyes (color index Yellow 145 and Blue 194) under sunlight using metal-organic framework MIL-53(Al) were evaluated in this research work. The synthesized material was characterized using FTIR and XRD techniques. The degradation process was...
This article is a review of the state of the art of the last decade on new materials based on cotton stem fibers (CTF) and natural binders such as Grewia Venusta Fresen bark, hulls fruits of Parkia Biglobosa, calyces of Bombax Costatum, etc. The results reported in the literature...
Aim: The structural, morphological and opto-electrical characteristics of cuprous oxide produced by thermal oxidation are investigated in this study. Methodology: Thermal oxidation of copper foils was used to develop high-quality cuprous oxide crystals, and the process proved to...
Currently, about 75% of the energy consumed in the world comes from fossils fuels and Kenya is no exception. Fossils fuels are delectable besides creating other environmental issues like global warming through the emission of green gases. Wood as a source of thermal heat energy i...
Direct conversion of sun energy to electrical energy using nanostructured organic/inorganic hybrid semiconductors is one of the best solutions for today’s energy crisis. In particular, researchers are turning their attention to incorporation of metal or transition metal oxide nan...
In this study, the influence of three submerged arc welding process parameters, namely welding current, welding voltage and travel speed on weld hardness of AISI 1020 mild steel plates has been studied by the application of Taguchi method and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The exp...
The study characterized bacteria isolates on the surface of corroded aluminium coupon. The biofilms on the surface of corroded aluminium material was tested by colony, biochemical test and gram staining reaction to know the microorganism(s) responsible for corroding aluminium cou...
The chemical composition of raw clay deposit in Awgu Town in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria was evaluated. The chemical property evaluation was done using x-ray fluorescence spectrometry, in addition to the determination of the loss on ignition test (L.O.I.) u...
Ca2MgSi2O7:Dy3+ (CMSD) white light emitting phosphor was synthesized by combustion route process. In order to find out the phase purity and crystal structure, characterization of the prepared powder samples was done by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The results of the XRD stu...
Ba2MgSi2O7:Dy3+ (BMSD) white light emitting phosphor was sintered by combustion synthesis route. The phase formation was confirmed with the help of XRD characterization. The results of the XRD study obtained for this phosphor revealed its monoclinic crystal symmetry with a space g...
Despite waste management within the industry contains a vital impact on each economic and environmental issues; the present level of construction waste management performance in Bangladesh is according as comparatively low. To improve any variety of management performance, it's n...
The stability of polymer-based organic solar cells is a crucial factor for the commercialization of solar cells. Testing of organic-inorganic nanostructures in polymer solar cells (PSCs) would be a better option to minimize the drawbacks due to the short lifetime. In this study,...
Introduction: Low cost refractory mixes of adequate resistance to molten glass attack is required for frit furnace lining, but when the corrosion behaviour of alumino-silicate type refractories are studied, kaolin is often neglected. Meanwhile clay is cheap in the study area and...
Abundantly available cassava peels waste was used to prepare porous activated carbon using a nontoxic activating agent, sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3). The activation was done under nitrogen flow at 8000C. The resulting porous carbon showed good surface area of 306 m2g-1. The supe...
