ABSTRACT Foam are substances that are been formed when pockets of gases are trapped in a liquid or solid. Foam stabilizations are caused by van der waals force between molecules, there are conditions required for foaming to occur. Foams have different applications that are been utilised in their different forms. Defoamers are substances that... Continue Reading
Abstract F-Sulfo Fatty Methyl Esters sulfonates (F- MES) are new anionic surfactants obtained via sulfoxidation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) with SO2, O2, and ultraviolet light of appropriate wavelength. The designation of Φ refers to the random positioning of SO3 in the alkyl chain. In this work we summarize the most relevant results of... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT This project work deals on bioremediation of oil polluted soil through the use of melon seed, the purpose of this study was to find out the importance of mellon seed in the remediation of spent engine oil polluted soil, the study aims at highlighting the... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT Bioremediation is an important technology for the restoration of oil polluted environments by indigenous or selected microorganisms. In general, the rate of biodegradation depends on the number and types of micro-organism, the nature and chemical structure of pollutants to be degraded and the environmental conditions. In this study, the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) is a common environmental contaminant found in soils. Unlike other metals. Cd has no biological role, and is potentially toxic to microorganisms. The concentrations of cadmium in agricultural soils depend upon the amounts present in the parent rocks from which the soils form, the amounts added in the form of fertilizers and... Continue Reading
Abstract Two different set of soil samples were collected near Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited (KRPC), a Subsidiary of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Kaduna. The first set of samples labelled (D) was obtained from areas where diesel from the refinery spilled into the environment and the second set of samples... Continue Reading
