THE USE OF LOCAL PIGMENTS AND EXTENDERS FOR FORMULATION & PRODUCTION OF EMULSION PAINT LETTER OF TRANSMITAL
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION: Paint is a fluid, or semi-fluid material which may be applied to surfaces in relatively thin layers, and which changes to a solid coating with time. The coating with time. The change to a solid material may or may not be reversible, and may occur by evaporation of solvent by chemical reaction, or by a combination of the two.
Paints usually consist of vehicle or binder...

ABSTRACT
Air pollutions pollutant showed that the extent of spreading depends on the motor vehicle traffic population of the area. This pollution strongly generated through combustion of fossil fuels presents difficult environmental challenge to societies as it could degrade the environment and affect human health and quality of life. Vehicular emissions are major contributors to air pollution in urban areas as they contain harmful gases. The levels of carbon monoxide has been inves...

ABSTRACT
This work aimed atdevelopment of carbon oxides sequestration from Yamaha EF1000 generator using post - combustion capture technique. The state of the art is the use of monoethanolamine as sorbent for carbon sequestration. The present study postulated reaction mechanism of sawdust ash leachate with CO2 from flue gas and examined the use of the leachate as sorbent for capture of CO2 and CO from Yamaha EF1000 generator as the source of flue gas. A prototype absorber was design...
View DetailsDEVELOPMENT OF BIOSURFACTANTS-IRON OXIDE NANOPARTICLES- BIOCHAR FORMULATION FOR REMEDIATION OF CRUDE OIL CONTAMINATED SOIL
ABSTRACT
Biosurfactant-mediated degradation of contaminants is practical and safe environmental remediation agent. In addition, iron oxide nanoparticles and biochar are bioremediation agents with great potentials due to their strong adsorption capacity, microbial growth enhancement and chemical inertness. Therefore, a combination of biosufactant, iron oxide nanoparticles and biochar could produce a very desirable and efficient alternative to conventional environmental treatment of c...

ABSTRACT
Perfume extraction refers to the extraction of aromatic compounds from raw materials, using methods such as distillation, solvent extraction, expression or enfleurage. The extracts are either essential oils, absolutes, concretes, or butters, depending on the amount of waxes in the extracted product. Heat, chemical solvents, or exposure to oxygen in the extraction process denature the aromatic compounds, either changing their odour, character or rendering them odourless. In...
