We demonstrated the formulation of wood plastic composite (WPC) materials with flexural strength 13.69 ± 0.09 MPa for applications in outdoor fencing using municipal waste precursors like low density polyethylene (LDPE) plastics (54.0 wt. %), sawn dust particle size between 64 and 500 μm derived from variable hardwood species (36.0 %) used automotive engine oil (10 %). The WPC panels were prepared by pre-compounding, extruding at a screw auger torque 79.8 Nm pressing through rectangular...
The adsorption of a cationic dye, Methylene blue (MB), and zwitterionic 8-Hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ), onto zeolites synthesized from different clays has been investigated. presence certain metals the Si/Al ratio parent clay an overall effect on type produced. Zeolites LTA FAU Y were obtained using hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectral analysis was used to study phenomena adsorbates adsorbents. profile MB (Topological Polar Surface Area...
This paper presents basic statistical model to predict emissions factors of CO, CO 2 and PM 2.5 from the thermal performance (firepower) using results an experimental Water Boiling Test with Laboratory Emissions Monitoring System twelve ( 12) different traditional improved charcoal fired cookstoves.The development biomass cookstoves superior emission characteristics thus has huge environmental social benefits because risks associated inefficient stoves.A Pearson correlation coefficient (r)...
This study assesses the reduction of 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and chemical (COD) household greywater using palm kernel activated carbon (PKAC) tropical almond (TAAC) produced from locally available materials in a kiln at 800oC steam flowrate 120 mL hr-1. Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area determination revealed that PKAC had larger than TAAC. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) imagery carbons also amorphous large internal shapes for TAAC while crystalline closed packed...
