1. THE INHIBITIVE EFFECT OF ALANINE ON CORROSION OF ALUMINIUM IN 0.5 M HCL SOLUTION USING THE WEIGHT LOSS TECHNIQUE
BACKGROUND OF STUDY: Corrosion is defined as a natural process, which converts refined metal to their more stable oxide. It is the gradual destruction or degradation of materials (usually metals) by chemical reaction with their environment which are most likely inevitable. Corros... Read More
2. A COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION INTO THE ANTIMICROBIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DISINFECTANTS CONTAINING CHLORINE AND ALCOHOL
Background of the study: Antiseptics and disinfectants are extensively employed in hospitals and various healthcare facilities for a diverse array of applications pertaining to topical and hard-surface disinfection. Specifically, healthcare professionals play a crucial role in th... Read More
3. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A SINGLE PHASE AUTOMATIC CHANGE OVER SWITCH WITH PHASE SELECTOR
INTRODUCTION: Change over switch is a device used to switch off a power supply and subsequently switch on another power source. Basically it is aimed at switching on a more convenient power supply to the load. Since it switches on power to the load precaution has to be taken whil... Read More
4. A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE CORROSION OF STAINLESS STEEL IN 1M HYDROCHLORIC ACID USING Tamarindus indica (TAMARIND) AND Terminalia catappa (TROPICAL ALMOND) LEAVES EXTRACTS AS INHIBITORS
ABSTRACT
The effectiveness of Terminalia catappa (tropical almond) and Tamarindus indica (tamarind) as corrosion inhibitors for stainless steel in 1M hydrochloric acid at 30°C, 40°C and 50°C was investigated in this research. The gravimetric method of analysis was employed f... Read More
5. DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERISATION OF BANANA PEDUNCLE FIBRE REINFORCED POLYESTER COMPOSITES USING COW HORN ASH PARTICLES AS FLAME RETARDANT ADDITIVE
1.1Backgroundof the Study
Fibre-reinforced composites are used in a wide range of applications such as automobiles, aircraft, ships, boats, pipelines, sport equipment, storage tanks, etc. The traditionalpolymeric and metallic materials have been replaced successfully by fibre-reinforced... Read More
6. EVALUATION OF GEOLOGICAL MATERIALS WITH PLASTIC ADDITIVES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DURABLE PAVEMENT BLOCKS: CASE STUDY OF OFFA, NORTH CENTRAL NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
The management of plastic waste (whose generation is on the increase) poses a great challenge to environmentalists owning to its non-biodegradability. The research project aims at using waste plastic materials as binding groundmass in place of cement thereby producing pavement... Read More
7. EVALUATION OF THE USE OF MANGO PEEL, BANANA PEEL AND ALLIGATOR PEPPER POD EXTRACT AS CORROSION INHIBITOR ON CARBON STEEL IN ACIDIC MEDIUM.
ABSTRACT
This work investigates the use of extract of alligator pepper pod, mango peel and banana peel as inhibitors to carbon steel corrosion in an acidic industrial environment (oil refinery). Corrosion weight loss method was adopted on the carbon steel coupons to evaluate inhibition... Read More
