Phytochemical Analysis, Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activity of Stem Extracts of Azadirachta indica
Yiketel Adege Chekol*, Molla Zewdie Eshetu
Azadirachta indica is one of the most versatile medicinal plants having a wide spectrum of biological activity due to the presence of large number of bioactive compounds. The result of phenolic content estimation in methanol and ethanol crude extract was found to be 162.87±1.25 and 126.57±0.288 mg of GAE/g of extract respectively. The antioxidant activities of methanolic stem extracts of Azadirach
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
Fencing Lands to Enhanced Climate Change Resilience, promoting Biodiversity Regeneration and Improved Livelihoods of Climate Change in Makueni County
Frank Wesonga*, Francis Keya
Kenya is a food insecure country, weather patterns are drastically changing and people are losing livelihoods and earnings when their lands dry, water for domestic supply lacks and livestock die further frustrating livelihoods of the poor. This paper briefly discusses Fencing of lands as prerequisite to biodiversity protection and faster water retention mechanism, through tree planting, enhancing
Improved Organically Treated Nanoclay-Polyurethane Nanocomposite
Mona A. Ahmed*, Ashraf M. El-Saeed, Hamdy M. Naguib
Recently, nanocomposites are used in a wide range of applications; however the incompatibility between all components causes some drawbacks. Treatment of filler can solve this problem through formation of improved filler-matrix interface. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of filling polyurethane matrix with (0.5, 1 and 1.5) wt.% layered double hydroxide nanoclay, as coating. Magne
