Abstract The photoactive O-ZnO/Cu 2 O/NCDB heterojunction was fabricated by co- precipitation route to illustrate the advantage of utilizing photoinduced e--h+ pair in …
This study investigated the ability of biochar from the agricultural waste, Delonix regia pod, to adsorb phenol from an aqueous solution. The biochar was obtained by the carbonization …
This study investigated the microstructural and mechanical properties of hybrid composites developed by the reinforcement of solvated polystyrene with expanded polyethylene powder …
In this study, expanded polyethylene powder (EPE) and mica mineral were utilized in varying proportions as fillers in a solvated polystyrene-based resin (PBR) matrix. The hand …
Cassava production and consumption in its raw or processed form have experienced a rise in recent times globally, with Nigeria being the major producer of cassava in the world …
African balsam (Daniella oliveri) leaves and cow dung are waste materials that are commonly accessible in Africa and can be used to produce biochar by simultaneous …
Composite material development for industrial uses is a critical technology in solid waste management. In this study, we report, for the first time, the synthesis of thermally cured …
Elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and poultry litter are waste materials readily available all year round in West Africa that can be harnessed for the production of biochar …
In this study, engineered biochar was prepared in a top-lit updraft biomass reactor with retort heating, following a one-step chemical activation. The precursor (orange peel) and chemical …
