  » ABSTRACT Palm kernel shells are readily available agricultural waste products that have been used as low cost potential adsorbent to remove chromium from effluent water. The production of activated carbon from palm kernel shells using KOH as activating agent was studied. Batch adsorption studies were carried out as a function of parameters such as carbon dosage, pH and contact time. Chromium remov...Continue Reading »

• 223. PREPARATION OF A GREEN DEMULSIFIER FROM NATURALLY OCCURRING SUBSTANCES

  » CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Water in oil emulsions stability is always encountered at many stages during the production and processing of crude oils. These emulsions formation is always or generally caused by the presence of resins and asphaltenes which play the main role of "natural emulsifiers", and also caused by wax and solids that accompany the crude. These components...Continue Reading »

• 227. PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANTIMICROBIAL ANALYSIS OF MYSTETOE LEAVES

  » ABSTRACT The sample of Mistletoe leaves was collected from an orange tree at Ururo in Umunze Anambra State. The leaves was extracted by using some solvent like ethanolic solvent, aqueous solvent n hexane solvent and ethyl acetate solvent. The extracts was further analyzed which helps in determining the presence of phytochemical compounds in the Mistletoe plant leaf, such as alkaloids, flavonoid, p...Continue Reading »
