The drastic downfall in crude oil prices since the middle of 2014 puts the Nigerian economy under the burden of financial instability as crude oil accounts for 95% of export and foreign exchange receipt. Such macroeconomic ...

This research was carried out to investigate the chemical, mineralogical and comminution characteristics of Filin-Kokuwa gold ore deposit and its subsequent processing to retrieve gold metal. Samples of the gold ore were ...

This research seeks to investigate how a minimized firing time and natural clay used as binder (materialize) in silica production compensate for strength and thermal shock from a choice of the locally available materials ...

Aluminium Matrix Composites (AMCs) have limited ductility and toughness, which limits their processing windows during hot forming for complicated component designs such as those used in automobiles. To solve the above ...

A 650 kilogram capacity cupola furnace was fabricated from locally available materials for the production of cast iron using pig iron, contaminated steel scraps, foundry returns and fluxes. The main fuel used is metallurgical ...

In this project, a laboratory hammer mill has been designed and constructed with output crushing force of 23 kN and average crushing strength 12 kN/mm2. The feed crushing performance varies between 300 and 340 kg/hr of ...

The present study reports on the wear behaviour of spark plasma sintered commercial pure titanium (CpTi) and Titanium-Niobium pentoxide (Ti-Nb2O5) composites of varying weight percent (5, 10, and 15 wt.%) of Nb2O5 content ...

In this research, clay was used as filler material in epoxy to produce particulate reinforced polymer based composites. Ikere clay was gotten from its deposit and was processed by washing and sieving to remove inclusions ...

In this research, hydroxyapatite powder (HAp) was synthesized from chicken eggshell wastes by hydrothermal method.The effect of calcination temperatures on the properties of the synthesized HAp was investigated and, HAp ...
