Spontaneous fermented as well the unfermented seeds of Pentaclethra macrophylla (Opagha seeds) found mostly in all the remote villages in the southern part of Nigeria were analysed for their proximate composition, energy ...

The Nigerian coating industry is import dependent as most raw materials are imported. To reduce the importation, this current study processed kaolin to calcined kaolin to replace the most expensive titanium dioxide as ...

This research examined the possibility of using waste glass powder (WGP) as a partial replacement of cement binder and also the use of termite’s mound (TM), egg shell powder (ESP), sawdust (SD) and sun-flower pith (SFP) ...

The hydrophilic nature, mechanical properties, thermal stability and adsorption capacities of the chemically modified and unmodified three different natural fiber materials, namely coir fiber (Eleas coniferus), palm kernel ...

The biosorption performance of unmodified and modified onion skins as alternative low cost biosorbent for the removal of lead (II) and cadmium (II) was investigated. The effects of varying the pH, contact time, initial ...

Findings have shown that heavy metal assessment and monitoring is at barest minimum in Ore metropolis and that increasing anthropogenic activities could significantly raise the level of heavy metals, thereby posing hazardous ...

Phytoremediation and phytoextraction processes have being in-used experimentally and in real-time operations for the uptake and recovery of metals and heavy metals from contaminated soils. The current study evaluates ...

The use of low-cost, locally available, highly efficient, and eco-friendly adsorbents has been investigated as an ideal alternative to the current expensive methods of removing dyes from waste water. This study investigates ...

The present study was carried out to assess the concentration levels of seven heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni, Fe) in eight different non-leafy vegetables namely; Cyanne pepper (Capsicum frutescens), Bell pepper ...

This work present the result of experimental investigation carried out on partial replacement of asphalt with the mixture of some soil samples and additive like cement ash, lime, gum that were extracted from a plant (cissus ...
