Electric-arc furnace dust (EAFD) is an industrial waste, which generated through the volatilization of metals during reduced iron and melting of scrap during electric arc furnaces process. Utilization of EAFD consisting of hazardous metals such as Pb, Cd, Cr or Zn using the techn...
The work index of Faya clay in Faya Village, Plateau State, Nigeria was determined for effective communition design using Berry and Bruce method. Samples of Faya clay were collected from three veins on the mine. The samples were homogenized, crushed and ground and further sample...
Ado-Ekiti is known for abundance of moulding sands used for building, construction and foundry works. The effects of moulding sands on some metal castings was studied in this work. Four sand samples were taken from four river locations (Oke-Ureje, Omisanjanna, Odo-Ayo, and Ogbese...
A high surface area mesoporous Cu2O embedded on TiO2 (Cu2O-TiO2) aerogel was prepared and used in photocatalytic splitting of water under simulated solar light irradiation. Highly efficient hydrogen production was achieved over 3 wt% Cu2O-modified TiO2 aerogel photocatalyst with...
The research showed the statistical analysis of clad bead width on mild steel metal geometry. The statistical analysis was performed using response surface method of statistics. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) shows that the Model F-value of 8.95 which implies that the model is...
The uses of cast aluminum alloys in automotive and aerospace applications are growing rapidly because of the need to reduce weight and improve the efficiency of the engine as whole. The service life of aluminum cast component is determined by the size, form and distribution of mi...
Poly(3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl) denoted as P3OT with a chemical formula (C12H18S)n is an alkylthiophene based conductive polymer with high electroluminescence that is soluble in most of the organic solvents. P3OT is a promising material for applications in solar cells, light-emi...
Perylene (C20 H12) is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) used in the production of organic field- effect transistors, organic photovoltaic cells, and biosensors. In this work, the molecular geometry, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, global indices, thermodynamic properties, non-linear...
This study investigated the great potential of cocoyam peels (non-edible waste material) as suitable substrate for bio-ethanol production using enzymatic hydrolysis process. The raw material was subjected to pretreatment prior to the hydrolysis and fermentation processes. Several...
