Dyes are used in various industries such as pharmaceutical, cosmetic, paper, leather, food stuff, plastics, and textile etc. The effluents are discharged into the environment by either water or land. The discharge of these effluents into the receiving environments results in hazardous health problems as most of these dyes have carcinogenic effects... Continue Reading
Abstract The focus of this research work is to derive a model that will be used to obtain the adsorption efficiency of an adsorbent for the removal of lead and copper from waste water. To date, the prevalence of adsorption separation remains an aesthetic attention and consideration abroad the nations owning to its low cost, simplicity of design,... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This research project was aimed at optimization of adsorption conditions for removal of methylene blue dye using conventionally activated hamburger seed shell. The activated carbon was first prepared from the hamburger seed shell through carbonization at a temperature of 8000C for 2 hours followed by activation using conc. KOH 9m as... Continue Reading
Abstract Access to potable water is among the major challenges faced by developing countries in both urban and rural communities. Most residents rely on unhygienic water due to the public distributor’s inability to ensure consistent supply. Consequently, there is the need for individuals, groups, institutions, governments and multinational... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT The effect of contact time, initial ion concentration, adsorbent dose and ph on 5he adsorption capacity of EDTA modified groundnut shell, rice husks, cassava peels and maize cobs for chronium (iii) ion was carried out using batch... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT Sample of waste collected at Kanwuri Area Sokoto, was analyzed using a groundnut shell and tea bag as natural adsorbent, by adopting the method of atomic absorption spectrophotometry. And this research showed that groundnut shell and tea bag can be effectively used as an excellent adsorbent for the removal of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cr, from... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT This project was Carrie lent using sub-bituminous coal and crude palm oil. The degree of bleaching of the palm oil was monitored with a spectorphoto meter. The coal was collected in a lump from the mine. It air-chiecl to removed the moisture content and thereafter, size reduced to a... Continue Reading
