The inhibitive performance of aqueous Vigna unguiculata coat extract on the corrosion of pipeline steel in 0.5 M HCl solution was studied by electrochemical, Gravimetric and UV-Visible spectroscopy techniques at varying temperatures. The extract was characterized using Gas Chroma...
Cassava peels have been recognized as an ecological burden for the society. Their main advantageous application is animal feeding. However, cassava peels, as many lignocellulosic biomass-rich materials, have stimulated new gateways for the production of renewable, low cost and su...
The Despite the array of old-grown date palm with reduced fruit yields in the northern part of Nigeria, the utilization of its biomass has not been fully explored by the wood-based industries in the country. This study was designed to assess the possibilities of using Date palm (...
Fly Ash, a solid waste (particulate matter) generated from a steel smelting plant was analyzed and characterized. Physical and chemical investigations of the fly ash from a steel manufacturing company was conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...
Acid hydrolysis of Cowpea seed husk was carried out using sulphuric acid with the concentrations of 0.1 M and 0.5 M at a reaction time of 10 to 90 minutes and temperatures of 130ºC to 170ºC. The substrates were characterised using proximate analysis. The effects of process parame...
The indiscriminate disposal of spent motor oil in the soil has led to the contamination of both land and water. The present study analyzes the compounds in spent motor oil from a car and the extraction from the soil of two mechanical workshops located in Gwagwalada area council o...
The current research work is to optimize the gas metal arc welding parameters on the impact strength, hardness and flexural strength of dissimilar weld joints of SS316L and AISI D2 steels by using Taguchi based grey relational method. The experiments were planned as per Taguchi L...
Objectives: This aim of this study was to synthesized CaO@SiO2 nanocomposite using solvent-free mechanochemical method and applied against gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneunoniae) and gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginasa, Escherichia coli, and S...
This research deals with the study of the band structure, and density of state of silicon, using the first-principles pseudopotential method, based on the density functional theory (DFT) and the plane-wave method as implemented into Quantum Espresso (this is an open source softw...
Advances in engineering reliability and variability have allowed for a vast investigation into the dynamic failure of engineering materials in recent times than previously possible. This report aims to investigate and review the basic model in dynamic failure of High-Density Poly...
