This study was based on the evaluation of the efficiency and applicability of Moringa oleifera seed biomass (MOSB) as adsorbent in the removal of Lead (Pb) in water. The study was justified by the toxic nature of the study metal as the current conventional processes of heavy metals' removal are not environmentally friendly and chemical coagulant ve...
The assessment of the impact of road infrastructure in the developing countries using the Namibian case scenario was done based on the contemporary challenges of road use. This study employed a qualitative technique using a sample size of thirty (30) selected by the simple random sampling technique. The use of charts, tables and frequencies were do...
study was based on the evaluation of the potential effectiveness of Moringa oleifera seeds biomass as a biosorbent in the removal of copper (Cu) in water which was justified by the level of toxicity, environmental unfriendliness and costly nature of chemical coagulants presently used. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis was used to identify...
This study demonstrated that Moringa oleifera seed biomass (MOSB) has the potential to be used as a natural alternative in the removal of lead (Pd), cadmium (Cd), and copper (Cu) from water which was justified by the level of toxicity, environmental unfriendliness, and costly nature of chemical coagulants presently used. The Fourier Transform Infra...
This study was based on the evaluation of the efficiency and applicability of Moringa oleifera seed biomass (MOSB) as adsorbent in the removal of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) heavy metals in water. The study was justified by the toxic nature of the study metals as the current conventional processes of heavy metals’ removal are not ecosystem friendly...
This study was aimed at assessing the pollution load of the Woji Creek River Water in Port
Harcourt, Nigeria. This was based on eight water quality parameters of THC, PAHs, TOC, TOM, Oil/Grease, DO, COD and BOD using three study stations in each area composed of the Woji, Akpajo and Rumuwoji River Water
It is on Assessment of Heavy Metal Content of Drain Water with in
Cement Production Environment in Port Harcourt, Nigeria
