Late Cryogenian to Ediacaran magmatism of the East-Eastern Nigerian Terrane (E-ENT) in Pan-African mobile belt provides a critical geological record that is important for unravelling regional tectonic and geodynamic setting. A detailed study utilizes whole-rock elemental, in-situ zircon U-Pb Lu-Hf isotopic geochemistry are conducted on post-collisional granitoids from Hawal Massif E-ENT. These metaluminous slightly peraluminous, alkali-calcic calc-alkalic ferroan composition. ages suggest...
The Campano -Maastrichtian Gombe Sandstone of the Gongola Basin Upper Benue Trough is composed arenaceous lithology that laterally extensive and has reached a thickness over 300m.The petrophysical evaluation formation on basis bivariate plots, petrographic analysis falling head permeability indicated average porosity values 15%, 33% 23% respectively.Average 5.2D 100md were also obtained from plots permeameter respectively.These are comparable to reservoir rocks proven petroleum basin North...
The depositional environment of the Gombe Formation was determined using grain size parameters in which sixteen sandstone samples and ninety nine pebbles were subjected to granulometric morphometric analysis respectively. for (16) show an average graphic mean 2.51ϕ (fine grained sandstone), standard deviation 0.58ϕ (moderately well sorted skewness value 0.09ϕ (nearly symmetrical) kurtosis 0.89ϕ (platykurtic). Bivariate plot vs. indicated dominance fluvial environment. While probability...
This study was aimed at using Balanite aegyptiaca seed coats activated carbon (BAAC) as a potential adsorbent to remove safranin dye from aqueous solution. BAAC prepared one-step procedure with 67.27% yield, 3.23% ash content, 695 m2/g surface area and 203 mg/g iodine number. The FTIR spectroscopy revealed O-H, N-H, C-H, C=C, C-O-H stretching vibrations. influences of agitation time, initial concentration dose were studied in batch experiments room temperature. adsorptions rapid the first 15...

Alkaleri metakaolin (AMK) based geopolymer binder has been identified as one of the alternatives to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), which qualifies criteria for green construction material. In this work, 20No experimental mix proportions (RUNs) were designed by Central Composite Design (CDD) Response Surface Method (RSM). Mixture AMK and Alkaline Solution was heated 45mins at 60oc with stirring interval 15mins, after aggregates added hot mix. 60No 100X100X100mm cubes cast. Samples tested...
It is known that metakaolin powder has proved to be a promising alternative concrete binder Ordinary Portland cement (OPC). production contributes about 8% the global CO2 emission, which detrimental environment and major contributor warming. therefore pertinent develop costeffective environmentally friendly materials. This study examines performance of Nigerian metakaolin-based as sustainable material cement. The Gwaram-Alkaleri Kaolin clay from Bauchi State, Nigeria, was calcined at 800°C...
The aim of the study is to assess occurrence fluoride in groundwater Kaltungo area and environs. Consumption high waters clearly manifests majority inhabitant form dental fluorosis especially populace. Thirty samples were collected from hand-dug wells boreholes using standard method analyzed determine level. results revealed that Fluoride ranges 0.8 1.94 mg/l with a mean value 1.65 mg/l. No clear variations content have been observed both borehole those wells. Ca-Mg-HCO3 Ca-Mg-Cl are two...
The Jessu Formation is one of the marine Cretaceous sediments in Yola Sub-basin Northern Benue Trough, NE Nigeria. Lithofacies studies was carried out on exposed at Dukul and Cham streams outcrops, order to identify facies, establish facies association re-construct paleodepositional environment. Ten (10) were identified bases lithology, grain size, sedimentary structures degree bioturbation. These form four (4) associations, namely: FA-1 (offshore marine), FA-2 (lower shoreface), FA-3...
