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...
The modeling of gas yield with time for the biogas production from waste by-products of ethanol production process was studied. The wastes from the processing of four starch feedstock and from their fermentation wort were utilized for the biogas production studies. The wastes con...
The potentials of natural coagulants (egg shell and fish scale) in the treatment of vegetable oil industrial wastewater were investigated. The coagulants were characterized to determine their chemical compositions, functional groups and morphology using proximate analysis method,...
