Improper discharge of waste dry cell batteries and untreated antibiotics laden effluents to the environment pose serious threat sustenance ecosystem. In this study, synthesis reduced graphene oxide-ZnO (rGO-ZnO) nanocomposite was achieved via a bioreduction process using battery rod as oxide (GO) precursor. The applied in ultraviolet photocatalytic degradation chloramphenicol (CAP) at 290 nm presence hydrogen peroxide. RGO-ZnO characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, BET FTIR. TEM image revealed...
Abstract Mucuna bean ( pruriens ) starch was isolated and subjected to chemical modification by oxidation acetylation. The proximate analysis of the non‐starch components native on a dry weight basis 92 g kg −1 moisture, 5 ash, 2 fat, 7 crude fibre 19 protein. Chemical reduced values for all except moisture level. For samples, swelling power solubility increased as temperature in range 50–90 °C. mucuna (MNS) acetylated (MAS) with increasing acidity alkalinity, while that oxidised (MOS) only...
Isolation and hydrophobic modification of cellulose from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) its capacity to act as Pickering emulsion stabilizer was studied. The isolated hydrophobically functionalized with acid chloride (benzoyl chloride) in aqueous medium. Proximate analysis indicated that is a valuable source hemicellulose cellulose. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed crystallinity index (CrI) (CB) benzoylated (MCB) be 66.12% 61.38% respectively. Both Thermogravimetric (TGA) Differential...
AbstractThe study detailed environmental issues associated with the use of fossil fuels, which would necessitate a shift to alternative energy in Nigeria. It outlined energy-related physicochemical parameters phytomas and their pyrolytic products that make them preferred sources using established standard methods instrumental analysis procedures. The review identified improving utilisation waste biomass its product. Biomass pyrolysis between 350 550°C serves as conversion wealth reliable...
Catalytic pyrolysis of biomass is a suitable means obtaining high-yield bio-oil with reduced activation energy and char content. Goethite nanoparticles were synthesized via coprecipitation FeCl2.4H2O NaHCO3. TGA purged N2 was used to study goethite's catalytic effect on the thermal degradation PKS. The obtained particles characterized instrumental analysis using BET, TEM, SEAD, XRD gave multipoint SA 309 m2/g & 0.276 cc/g; 18.33 nm; rings occurring at (101), (111), (021); crystallinity...
Isolated starch of Bambarra groundnut (Voandzeia subterranean) was subjected to hydrothermal modifications through annealing and heat moisture conditioning. Both conditioning reduced the swelling power solubility starch. Water binding capacity after at 18% level (HMB18) 21% (HMB21). 24% (HMB24) 27% (HMB27) increased water capacity. Hydrothermal oil absorption raw Annealing peak viscosity (Pv( 95°C (Hv) 30 min holding (Hv30). However, on cooling down 50°C annealing. treatments as revealed by...
Abstract Twenty carboxymethyl starch derivatives of cocoyam were synthesized under different reaction conditions. The influences sodium hydroxide concentration, monochloroacetate water, type organic solvent, time and temperature evaluated for degree substitution (DS) efficiency (RE). optimal ratio moles NaOH per mole anhydroglucose unit (AGU), n / AGU was 1.62. Increases in ( SMCA ) to increased the DS progressively. water solvent (isopropanol, IPA) media at H 2 O/IPA 0.16. Both RE with...
Hydroxypropyl starch derivatives were prepared from pigeon pea (NPPS) which is an unconventional source. Functional parameters and characterization of both native modified starches carried out. The granules appeared oval or elliptical in shape with sizes ranging 7 to 40 μm width 10 − 30 length. Hydroxypropylation did not alter the a pronounced way. Generally, x-ray diffractograms showed "A" pattern. However, slight reductions diffraction intensity after modification observed. At all...
