ABSTRACT Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons are some of the known organic pollutants resulting from incomplete combustion of organic matter. They have been found to be carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic. Much of the previous works on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons have been on foods, water, dumpsites and on soil generally. However, this study... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  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

ABSTRACT Antibiotic resistance has become one of the major problems facing humanity. The need for new antimicrobials has been increased dramatically. Plants are considered as a major sources of new antibiotics due to the presence of phytochemicals. In Nigeria and other developing countries medicine plant materials have been used to treat various... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT 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

ABSTRACT The petroleum hydrocarbon composition of sediments from Qua Iboe River Estuary, Ibeno, South-Eastern Nigeria, was studied to determine the levels of these hydrocarbons in the marine environment. Ten sediment sites were sampled using a van veen Grab sampler. Chemical parameter, such as total organic carbon (TOC), was assessed using... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The synthesis, characterization and preliminary antimicrobial studies of some novel Schiff base ligands;  N,N/ - Bis(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1,4-phenylenediimine(M) and N,N/ - Bis(4-dimethylaminobenzylidene)-1,4-phenylenediimine (N)  were undertaken. It was prepared by the condensation reaction of 1,4-phenylenediamine with... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The total alkaloid, tannins contents and antiulcer activity of the extracts from four selected medicinal plants were investigated. The total alkaloids content (TAC) was evaluated according to the chloride colometric method in which atropine was used as standard. While the total tannins content (TTC) was also determined using Folin... Continue Reading
