The brewing industry consumes a large amount of water needed for brewing, rinsing, and cooling purposes, and therefore produces huge amount of effluents. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to evaluate the use of Moringa oleiferra (MO) powder and synthesized 1.0 and 2.0 g TiO2NPs as green synthesized nano-particles for the remediation of bre...

Carica Papaya is an economically important tropical herbaceous plant with numerous biological activities. In local medicine, different parts of C. Papaya (leaves, stems, roots, fruits, and seeds) are utilized in the treatment of various ailments. The seeds are rich in fibre and thus have the ability to regulate our bowel movements, removing toxins...

The potential of nitric acid modified kola nut pod adsorbent (MKNP) in removing selected heavy metals such as lead (Pb2+), cobalt (Co2+), and cadmium (Cd2+) ions from aqueous solution was investigated. FTIR spectra before and after the adsorption indicates the presence of functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxylic acid which are responsible...

The potential of chitosan-oxalic modified kola nut pod modified (COMKNP) to remove selected heavy metals such as lead (Pb), cobalt (Co) and cadmium (Cd) ions from aqueous solution was investigated. The batch adsorption experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of variable parameters such as pH, contact time, temperature, and adsorbent do...

This work investigated the preparation, modification and characterization of prepared adsorbent from kola nut pod (agro waste).The kola nut pod waste was obtained from Ipetu-Ijesha farm, modified using chitosan-oxalic gel and characterized using Scanning Electron micrograph -Energy dispersive X-ray and FTIR spectrophotometer. The morphological stud...

This study was carried out to investigate the impact of pollution on the receiving waters (Iguosa and Ikopba rivers) in Benin City. Effluents and water samples were analysed quantitatively for the presence of lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn) and Nickel (Ni) for both wet and dry season were determined using...

The mineral composition of Nigella sativa seeds, physicochemical properties and fatty acid contents of the seed oil were evaluated using standard analytical methods. The mineral composition of Nigella sativa seeds are; K (1642.54 mg/100g), Ca (917.43 mg/100g), Na (159.28 mg/100g), Mg ((341.81 mg/100g), Zn (4.64 mg/100g), P (483.23 mg/100g) Cu (0.75...

One of the most problematic groups of water pollutants is dye, a main constituent of textile industrial wastewater, which is carcinogenic. Therefore, this research delved into adsorption of dyes from textiles and wastewater using acid-treated as an adsorbent. The adsorbent was prepared by functionalizing the pod of carob with concentrated H3PO4. Th...
