With a view to enhancing laboratory and application-based pedagogical approaches in bioengineering, comparison of the physical, chemical mechanical properties natural hydroxyapatite produced from non-separated animal bones (NB) catfish (CB) obtained by thermal treatment low compaction pressure method has been reported this study. The structure, morphology surface chemistry processed biomaterials were characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) infrared...
This study describes an investigation into the physical, mechanical and dynamic properties of coir (coconut fiber) coconut husk particulates reinforced polymer composites which were prepared by hot press method. The impact loading on physical was examined in more detail. It observed that values rigidity, flexural strength hardness raised up to 7.1 MN/m2, 17.0 MPa 92.5 with increase length. Impact energy reduced proportionately increment fiber length (from 0.78 J at no inclusions 0.42 30 mm...
In this study, hydroxyapatite (HAp) was extracted from catfish bones (CB) and non-separated animal (NB). The bioceramic samples were prepared by a facile synthesis route the representative scaffolds cold compaction sintered at 900 °C, 1000 °C 1100 °C. To evaluate properties of produced HAp, X-ray diffraction (XRD) Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses carried out. evaluation hardness bio-derived experimentally conducted while fracture toughness brittleness index obtained...
Coconut shell filled composites were prepared from recycled low density polyethylene polymer matrix containing up to 15% weight of coconut powder as filler. The effect coir fiber loading on the properties was then investigated. It shown that values tensile strength, flexural strength and hardness increased 7.1MN/m2,18.0 GPa 92.7 respectively. Impact energy decreased with increase in length. With introduction length zero 10 mm, a decrease water absorption observed.
Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a member of the apatite family is similar in structural and chemical composition to natural bone.HAp bioactive biocompatible has been used for several biomedical applications.Synthesizing HAp from sources can contribute significantly towards resource management, health care, waste utilization amongst others.Therefore, this summarized review, we highlight classification HAp, discuss synthesis hydroxyapatite, enumerate some applications hydroxyapatite touch on polymeric...
This study was aimed at developing and evaluating the performance of an oil palm fresh fruit bunch harvesting robot that will eliminate possible risks associated with harvesting. The result this showed average height trees in area 5.531 m, which shows unsuitability existing traditional methods process. also used a geared DC motor to develop harvester, solving stability issue encountered by previous researchers during process without necessarily reducing climbing speed wide margin. In...
In this study, coir-coconut husk powder reinforced polymer composite (CCHPRC) prepared by the simultaneous application of heat and pressure, was subjected to an acidic environment its morphological hardness properties were investigated. Four test conditions selected elucidate short-term effect exposure composites which achieved simulating condition Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) solution with a pH 2.2 at room temperature (27°C). Exposure periods 3, 6 9 days (3PA, 6PA, 9PA) considered, while samples...
With both their high-risk and high-profit nature, Petroleum filling stations have become a significant subject in risk estimation assessment studies. Some of the risks associated with this organization include compliance laid-down standards by monitoring bodies. This study aims to carry out petroleum Kaduna Metropolis, Nigeria. involved assessing level on environmental conditions equipment awareness attendants these possible working environment. The design methodology employed for was use...
Effect of flow velocity crude oil on corrosion inhibition low carbon steel was investigated using the weight loss method. The coupons were immersed in inhibited and uninhibited for 24hrs, 48hrs, 72hrs 96hrs. The varied Reynolds numbers 3705, 3054, 2220 734. Highest efficiency of 82% recorded after 96 hours with neem seed (NSO). Lowest 45.8% 24 at Reynolds number 734 NSO. result showed that inhibitor performed very well time under conditions better performance at laminar flow.
