Nanostructured mesoporous titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles with high specific surface area and average crystallite domain sizes within 2 nm 30 have been prepared via the sol-gel hydrothermal procedures. The characteristics of produced nanoparticles tested using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), Raman Spectroscopy as a function temperature for their microstructural, porosity, morphological,...
The purpose of the dataset is to present morphological features, elemental composition and functional groups hydroxyapatite (HAp) synthesized from non-separated biowastes (animal bones) by a modified facile heat treatment method up maximum temperature 1100 °C. powders were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). These evaluations reveal surface identify powders. After raw 900 °C, 1000...
This study is focused on the evaluation of photocatalytic activity TiO2-CuO/HAp catalyst as prepared by sol-gel method and characterized using FT-IR, XRD, SEM-EDX for degradation Methylene Blue (MB) from its aqueous solution under sunlight. The effects MB concentration, contact time, dosage were studied central composite design (CCD) method. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modeling techniques also applied to model process examine their corresponding...
This paper presents the development of Bauxite residue (red mud) based cement composite mortar blocks for applications in pavement construction. The experimental techniques considered include structural, thermal, morphological and microscopy analysis raw bauxite red mud samples calcined at 800 °C. Composite different batch formulations were produced their physicochemical properties investigated. results show that compressive strength as-prepared increased by ∼40% compared to type M ∼2500...
The aim of this study was to determine the effect particle size, pyrolysis temperature and residence time on locally sourced palm kernel shells characterize bio-oil products. Pyrolysis experiments were performed at temperatures between 350 °C 550 particles sizes 1.18 mm, 2.36 mm 5 for a not greater than 120 min. maximum yield 38.67 wt% 450 feed size with 95 It observed that percentage liquid collection 28% total biomass mm. In terms temperature, lowest °C. For variation in associated...
Thermally induced lattice defects in kaolin play a key role the mechanical integrity of based ceramics during heat treatment due to their phase transformations. The effects three types pore formers (sawdust, styrofoam and powdery high density polyethylene) on porosity have been studied batch formulations. ceramic bodies was experimentally determined, while structure chemistry materials were elucidated via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FTIR, DSC/TG/DTA, zeta...
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...
Five coal samples from Odagbo (Kogi State), Owukpa (Benue Ezimo (Enugu Amansiodo and Inyi State) of Nigerian deposits were subjected to proximate analysis, ultimate calorific value determination, petrographic thermogravimetric analysis determine their suitability for power generation. Based on results tests carried out, is a bituminous, low sulphur, medium ash coal, while subbituminous A, rich in huminites, B, C, high coal. Between coals, has lower ignition temperature (283.63°C) due its...
Polymeric materials are constantly exposed to aggressive environments, negatively impacting their mechanical and chemical properties. In salt, acid, or alkaline solutions, polymer degrade due surface flaws, microcracks, other irregularities. For the first time, this study considers behaviour of coconut powder/coir-reinforced synthetic LDPE hybrid composite immersed in an (acidic) medium for 15, 30 45 days. The structural, mechanical, frictional developed coir/coconut husk powder/LDPE...
