This study focused on the thermal degradation of peanut shells in the presence and
absence of a termite hill as the catalyst. EDX, XRF, SEM, SAA and XRD were employed for …

Background The use of combustible vegetable waste in the manufacture of refractory
insulating firebricks has a double advantage: making use of vegetable waste and …

In this research, kaolin, ball clay, sawdust and rice husk were used to produce insulation
bricks through the solid state synthesis method. Two temperatures, 1100 o C and 1200 o C …

Objective: This work is designed to enhance the insulating properties of Omifun kaolin from
Ose Local Government of Ondo State, Nigeria for furnace insulation by reinforcing it with …

The characterisation and insulating efficiencies of sawdust and rice husk in glass shavings
reinforced termite clay-based (GSRTC) composite has been compared. Termite clay was …

Refractories are mineral and chemical based materials, with high heat resistance properties.
Refractory manufacturing typically uses clay as the main raw material. The study aims to …

On annual basis, the activities of termites to man's habitat have been found to be destructive.
Interestingly, man still goes in search of these insects day-in-day-out because of their …

The characterization and value addition to some Nigerian clay deposits; Ijapo Estate, Akure
in Ondo State, Ire Ekiti in Ekiti State and Ilesha in Osun State have been carried out. The …
