One of the popular cationic dyes that is environmentally persistent, toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic methylene blue (MB) dye. It commonly applied as synthetic dye for dyeing fabrics in clothing textile industries also papers leathers. Sequel to magnitude industrial usage, a large volume containing wastewater discharged into groundwater surface water. At doses more than 5 mk/kg, monoamine oxidate inhibitory characteristics MB can induce fatal serotonin toxicity human, apart from being...
The synthesis of nanoparticles via the green routes is an established technology for producing nano dimensional materials that are useful in different fields where environmental friendly a major requirement. present study reports cost effective, eco-friendly and straightforward approach to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnONPs) using plantain peel extract. optical, structural morphological characteristics ZnONPs were studied techniques. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed hexagonal wurtzite...

The amount of organochlorine pesticides in soil and water continues to increase; their presence has surpassed maximum acceptable concentrations. Thus, the development different removal strategies stimulated a new research drive environmental remediation. Different techniques such as adsorption, bioremediation, phytoremediation ozonation have been explored. These aim at either degrading or from environment but drawbacks. Heterogeneous photocatalysis is relatively technique that become popular...
Malachite green (MG) dye is a common industrial and organic contaminant that can be found in (waste)water. Textile food industries make use of MG as dyeing coloring agents, respectively. However, both genotoxic mutagenic. Hence, the elimination from MG-laden-wastewater germane. This review summarizes up-to-date researches have been reported literature regards decontamination toxic wastewater. Various removal methods (adsorption, membrane, Fenton system, heterogenous homogeneous...
Large volume of urine is continuously released into the environment by both humans and animals, impacts negatively on ultimately animals' health. In this review, negative associated with release to highlighted. Instead releasing environment, it has been used for several important applications. Various ways through which these waste discharge have positively utilized such as in synthesis chemicals, evolution hydrogen, power generation, source raw materials, fertilizer application, diagnosis...
Abstract A rapid development strategy was successfully implemented to create a suEPSR111459pramolecular metallogel comprising Mn(II) (referred as MnA-TA) and Zn(II) ZnA-TA) ions. These gels were formed using L-(+)-tartaric acid low molecular weight gelator in DMF medium at ambient conditions. Rheological analysis employed assess the mechanical stability of synthesized MnA-TA ZnA-TA metallogel. The results revealed gel’s impressive resilience when subjected various angular frequencies levels...
A swift and effective technique was employed to fabricate a novel supramolecular metallohydrogel, named Mg@5AP, by incorporating Mg(II) ions. This groundbreaking gel utilized 5-amino-1-pentanol as low molecular weight gelator,...
Introduction: The Mandatory Continuing Professional Development Programme (MCPDP) is an important programme for improving the knowledge, skills and competence of nurses, which ultimately translates into provision quality patient care. However, despite its importance, sustainability MCPDP in Nigeria a concern. Aims Objectives: study examined relevance MCPDP, policy strategies Southwest Nigeria. predictors to were also determined. Methods: adopted cross-sectional design with 230 nurses...
