Decolourization of Textile Dye Effluent by Resident Bacterial Species

Textile dye effluents are released into the environment without any pretreatment and pollute water, to prevent contamination of our valuable resources; removal of these pollutants is of great vitality. For this purpose, waste water samples were collected from dye contaminated sites of Kofar Mata dye pits based in Kano State. Certain parameters which include temperature and pH were determined in the Laboratory. The residual bacterial load was found to be in the range of 1.4 x106 - 4.0x106 cfu....

Offshore Oil and Gas Drilling waste: The Need for Pragmatic Change

Executive SummaryOffshore drilling for oil and natural gas have been ongoing since the 1800’s but little emphasis has been placed on the fate of drilling waste acquired during the drilling process. There are three main categories of waste that represent a potential concern based on current disposal practices.  These waste categories are drilling fluids, drill cuttings and produced formation water (PFW). Existing and proposed policies related to the handling and disposal of these wastes wil...

THE EFFECT OF ABATTOIR EFFLUENT ON PHYSICOCHEMISTRY AND BACTERIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS ON KARU RIVER, ABUJA (CASE STUDY: KARU ABATTOIR)

The impact of Sewage and Abattoir effluent discharge into river resulted in water pollution there by reduces it quality.This study aimed at analysing the physicochemical and bacteriological parameters of Karu Abattoir effluent and Sewage discharge into Karu River in FCT ,Abuja, Nigeria in order to ascertain the quality and impact on Karu River. Four water samples along with one effluent ample were collected aseptically and subjected to standard microbiological and physicochemical analysis

SAVING THE DYING PLANET EARTH

Planet  earth  is  being  endangered  by anthropogenic  activities  ranging from industrial  activities  to  seemingly innocous activities  such  as  use  of  herbicides  on  farms.There  are possibilities  that the  resources  of the  earth  may  not be  sufficient   to  sustain the  needs   of  future  generations.There  are  also possibilities  that the  earth may become in conducive for human habitation  due  to  emission of  dangerous  gases  and...

SOLAR ENERGY: POTENTIAL FOR MITIGATING DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

ABSTRACT Climate change has been identified as one of the greatest challenge by all the nations, government, business and citizens of the globe. The threats of climate change on our green planet ‘Earth’ demands that renewable energy share in the total energy generation and consumption should be substantially increased as a matter of urgency. Nigeria’s energy development programme has been put under severe pressure with the ever-increasing demand supply gap. Due to predominance of fossil...
