Isotherm, Kinetic and Thermodynamic Terms of Adsorption of Pyrimethamine from Binary Aqueous Solution
Adesokan Saheed Ademola*, Giwa Abdur-Rahim Adebisi
The processing of under-utilized sawdust as adsorbent for removing contaminants like pharmaceuticals from aqueous solutions is a sustainable environmental management strategy. In this study, sawdust was carbonized, activated with ZnCl2 and code-named Z-AC. Binary aqueous solutions of pyrimethamine containing paracetamol were treated with Z-AC; and effects of contact time, pH, temperature, adsorben
High Performance Liquid Chromatography Assay of Cyclopiazonic Acid in Some Stored Cereals from the Agro-Ecological Zones of Nigeria
Peter Francis Adikwu, Okibe Friday Godwin*, Abgaji Edith Bolanle, Hussaini Makun Anthony
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with a UV detector, was employed to analyse cyclopiazonic acids (CPA) in stored maize, millet, rice, sorghum, wheat and processed cassava (garri) samples from the seven agro-ecological zones of Nigeria namely; Derived Savannah (DS), Mid Altitude (MA), Humid Forest (HF), Northern Guinea Savannah (NGS), Sahel Savannah (SS), Southern Guinea Savannah (SGS)
The Utilization of Solid Waste Transfer Stations in Managing Solid Waste in Rapidly Transforming Neighborhoods. The Case of Sinza Ward in Dar Es Salaam City, Tanzania.
David Mihigo
Managing waste properly is essential for building sustainable and livable cities, but it remains a challenge for many cities. Various studies estimate that in 2016, the World’s cities generated about Two billions tones of solid waste, amounting to a footprint of 0.79 kilograms per person per day. With rapid population growth, annual waste generation is expected to increase by 70% from 2016 levels
Fermentation Enhances the Attenuation of Oxidative Stress by Sugar Apple Cotyledon Polysaccharides
Christianah Adebimpe Dare, Oluokun Oluboade Oyedapo
In this study, we extracted and optimised polysaccharides were extracted from the cotyledon of both fermented and unfermented A. squamosa (sugar apple) seeds. We aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials of the purified polysaccharides as a measure of oxidative stress. Methods: We collected fresh and ripe sugar apple fruits were collected from an orchard at Ota-Efun, Oloru
