ABSTRACT Alum (potassium aluminum sulfate-K+Al3+ (SO42-) 2), ferrous sulfate (Fe2+ SO42-), ferric chloride (Fe2+2Cl-) and ferric chloro-sulfate (Fe2+Cl-SO42-) were commonly used as coagulants. However, a possible link of Alzheimer’s disease with conventional aluminum based coagulants and other adverse bioaccumulation cases associated with heavy metal have become an issue in wastewater treatment. Hence, special attention has shift towards using biodegradable polymer like chitosan in treatmen...
Electropolymerization and redox behavior of lignin composites were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Oxidation of lignin (LG) composites mixed with different polymers such as; Poly (o-phenylenediamine) (POPDA), Pyrrole (Py), 4-amino-3-hydroxynaphthalene-sulfonic acid (AHNSA) on working glassy carbon electrode (GCE) were performed by cyclic voltammetry in a three-electrode ...
This project titled Bioaccumulation of persistent pollutants in Clarias gariepinus gotten from Ogu Creek is based on ecotoxicology and utilized African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) as a model in estimating the bioaccumulation of pollutants in living tissues of organisms in Ogu creek which is a point of poorly treated effluent discharge. The persistent pollutants include Zn, Cr, Cd, Pb, Mn, and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH). The concentrations of the heavy metals were determined with Atomi...
The agenda of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal and the international Energy Agency tailored towards addressing the global crisis of climate change mitigation (depletion of the Ozone layer is of great concern due to the adverse effect of carbon emission activities which has proven to be pungent, lethal, non-degradable with zero socio-economic relevance). Hence, this research study under a feasibility check investigated the possibility of synthesizing green ferrofluid from pl...

ABSTRACT The study area is located in the Abakaliki formation of Asu-River group Lower Benue Trough. The area lies between latitude N060221 011to N060 281 011of the equator and longitude E0080 001 011 to E 0080 061 011of the Greenwich meridian. The study was carried out to ascertain the geology and the occurrence of groundwater in the area through detail geological field mappings geophysical investigation and pumping test. Field observations shows that the area is made up of two lithologic...
Abstract Forest fires have become a growing concern worldwide, with climate change exacerbating their frequency and intensity. In the Simlipal region of India, forest fires are relatively rare; however, in 2021, significant damage occurred in the buffer area’s forests. Understanding the driving factors behind these events is essential for developing effective management strategies. This study investigates the impact of hydro-meteorological conditions on forest fire causes in the Simli...
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Paint Factory or plant is an industrial site, usually consisting of buildings and machinery, or more commonly a complex having several buildings, where workers process raw materials into paint. Factories arose with the introduction of machinery during the industrial revolution when the capital and space requirements became too great for cottage industry and workshops. Paint is a subdivision of surface coating. It is a relatively opaq...
INTRODUCTION "Disaster management" can be defined as the range of activities designed to maintain control over disaster and emergency situations and to provide a framework for helping at-risk persons to avoid or recover from the impact of the disaster. Disaster management deals with situations that occur prior to, during, and after the disaster. Globally, there has been lots of disaster on land, air and sea, though these disasters may be natural or man-made, it has however led to the destru...
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION The subject of airport passenger terminal building must involve a discussion of transportation. Transportation has remained one of the most vital factors that influence the development of a nation. The credibility of this statement has been proven over the centuries, that if one decides to take a critical look at earlier civilizations, from the time of early Egyptian civilization to the current civilized world, one will discover that many of the great feats ac...
CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY According to historical accounts (Leadership Newspaper), Asata, Coal camp, New market, Ogui urban including Obiagu areas of the city belongs to Ogui Nike people. But during the colonial era, the white men started developing parts of the land owned by the Ogui Nike people. That explains why Obiagu is presently inhabited by people from almost the five south east states namely; Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Imo and even the present day Enugu s...
CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Shelter is a basic necessity in life. An individual can satisfy this need by either occupying his own (owner’s occupier) property or renting another person’s property. In our traditional society, the need for shelter is mainly met through the first alternative that is owner occupation. With the emergency of urban centers’, the situation has changed. Many people are no longer about to own property because of the difficulty in th...

ABSTRACTTraffic congestion is a challenge leading to undesirable consequences in most of the cities of world. Many large and medium cities of Nigeria, specifically the central business district (CBD) are facing this challenge and are severely affected by this mobility problem. The situation described above, has started a manifest in Kaduna, a medium urban centre in Nigeria. This study therefore set out to determine people’s perception along Ahmadu Bello way, Kaduna 120 questionnaires were a...
