The improvement of the combustion properties of coal and biomass by blending and carbonization was investigated. Proximate and ultimate analysis of coal, sawdust, corn cob and their blends were carried out using ASTM methods. The proximate and ultimate analyses were repeated on the five blends after carbonization at 500o C for one hour.... Continue Reading

  Production of carbon black from novel sources like spent automobile tyre, anthracite coal, furnace soot and graphite rod and subsequent use in the production of offset printing inks has been investigated. Carbon black from these sources were obtained by pyrolysis of shredded spent tyre and coal samples at 750-900o C in an electrical... Continue Reading

The synthesis of five mono- and five bis-alkynylated derivatives of quinoline-5,8-diones is reported. The intermediate 6,7-dibromoquinoline-5,8-dione was obtained by nitrosation of 8- hydroxyquinoline, followed by reduction and subsequent bromination and oxidation. The coupling reaction of 6,7-dibromoquinoline-5,8-dione via... Continue Reading

The synthesis of N-heteroaryl substituted benzene sulphonamides and evaluation of their biological activities are reported. Synthesis was achieved by the reaction of benzene sulphonyl chloride and substituted amino heterocycle in dry pyridine. The structures of synthesized compounds were assigned by spectroscopic methods. The eight (8)... Continue Reading

The removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous model solution using zeolite has been investigated under different operational parameters like heavy metal ion concentration, adsorbent amount and particle size. The zeolite used was synthesized and characterized using SEM and XRD analysis. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of zeolite used for... Continue Reading

A simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of paracetamol was explored, using zirconium(IV) and vanadium(V) oxides. The method was based on the oxidation of paracetamol by zirconium(IV) and vanadium(V) in alkaline and acidic media respectively. The stoichiometric studies indicated a mole-ratio of 1:1 for the...

The original tectonic setting of the mafic and ultramafic rocks of the megatectonic line of Darno are investigated using evidence provided by their major elements and trace element contents, ... Continue Reading

ABSTACT Palmprint recognition has been investigated over ten year years. Palmprint is proven to be distinguishable from other features because of number of attributes. These attributes include color, clarity, position, continuity, length and variation in thickness. Lines are represented in a very efficient way and it needs low storage and... Continue Reading

 Scale formation has become a big burden to sugar manufacturing industries, especially in evaporators, this is because of the characteristics of cane juice which is allowed in evaporators. Evaporators are used to evaporate as much water as possible from the juice using exhaust steam from the powerhouse as the heating medium so as to... Continue Reading
