This research work evaluated the physio-chemical properties of blended Owo and Eha-Ndiagu clays in Enugu State of Nigeria. The clay samples used for this research work were sourced from Owo and Eha-Ndiagu towns in Enugu State. They were subsequently processed using established beneficiation processes. Thereafter both clays were blended according to...

Refractory bricks are widely used in industries such as metallurgy, glass, cement, and ceramics due to their high resistance to heat, corrosion, and mechanical stress. Traditional refractory bricks are typically made from materials like clay, silica, and alumina. However, the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly solutions has prompted...

Water access is a critical issue in Africa, with millions of people lacking access to safe and clean water. Lack of access to water not only affects the health of individuals and communities but also has far-reaching economic and social consequences. In this research text, we will discuss ways in which water access could be improved all over Africa...
