Revolutionizing Industrial Cleaning Techniques: Harnessing the Power of Algae and Sponge Iron to Combact Co2 in Biogas Production
Julius Ibeawuchi Onyewudiala*, Nnadikwe Johnson, Iheme Chigozie, Ibe Raymond Obinna, Alaka, Amarachi Chekosiba, Onuruka Anthony Uzodinma
This research focuses on revolutionizing industrial cleaning techniques by Harnessing the power of algae and sponge Iron to combat Co2 in biogas production. The objectives are to align this innovative approach with the United Nations sustainable development Goals (SDGs) while addressing the challenges posed by high concentration of methane ideal tool for reducing CO2 levels. This approach not o
Cytotoxic Evaluation of the Aqueous Extract of some Selected Medicinal Plants Combinations on Lung Carcinoma Epithelial Cells A549 and Human Cervix Carcinoma HeLa S330194
Tossou Sandra Bénédicta Kadoukpè*, Luka Carrol Domkat, Emmanuel Adeyemi, Jeffrey Matthew, Taiwo Emmanuel Alemika
Many are the anti-cancer drugs currently in use but unfortunately, they fail to differentiate cancer cells from healthy cells. The aim of this study is to find an alternative way based only on medicinal plants to treat cancer by enhancing the immune system without damaging the healthy cells for the well-being of the patient. This study investigated the cytotoxic effect(s) of (04) Combined Plants
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
Composition, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of volatile oils from Lantana camara Linn
Ayopo A. Sotade*, Clement O. Ajiboye, Olapeju O. Aiyelaagbe
Lantana camara Linn (Verbanaceae) is an ornamental plant which has become invasive in the tropical parts of the world. The volatile oils from the root, stem, leaves, and flowers of the plant were obtained by hydrodistillation and analysed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the volatile oils were investigated by Hydrogen-Peroxide radical
Exploring the Efficacy of a Potent Corrosion Suppressant Derived from Trandescantia Pallida (Purpple Heart) Leaves: A Qualitative Assessment
Cornelius C. Ahanotu* Kenneth C. Madu, Cynthia A. Ugochukwu
The corrosion inhibiting effect of Tradescantia pallida leaf extract (TPLE) on low carbon steel in a sulphuric acid medium was investigated. Weight loss experiments were conducted at two temperatures, 27°C and 60°C, using six low carbon steel coupons of known dimensions, compositions, and weights over a 3-day immersion period. The results revealed that TPLE exhibited significant corrosion inhibiti
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
