Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleED-XRF Analysis of Total Suspended Particulates from Enamelware Manufacturing IndustryJ. A. Sonibare, F. A. Akeredolu, O. Osibanjo, I. LatinwoConcentration and elemental composition of the total suspended particulates (TSP) emitted due to manufacturing activities of an enamelware industry in Lagos, Nigeria were investigated. Gravimetric method was used in mass concentration determination and an energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) analyzer was employed in the multi-elemental analysis. The Federal Ministry of Environment (FMENV, Nigeria's environment regulating body) set limit of 250 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,683 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetrography and Geochemistry of Orin-Ekiti Basement Rocks, Southwestern Nigeria: Implications on BauxitizationAbel Ojo Talabi, Akin Ojo Oyinloye, Olusola Amos Olaolorun et al.The petrography and geochemistry of Orin-Ekiti Basement rocks were evaluated to determine their mineralogical and chemical composition, assessed their petrogenesis and susceptibility to the formation of bauxitic clay. Ten representative rock samples were selected for thin section petrography and bulk rock geochemical analysis using Petrographic microscope and XRF, Rh Tube, 3k Watt respectively. Field observations revealed charnockites as the dominant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 1 Jan 2018 · 8,767 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation and Beneficiation of Bentonitic Clays from Pindiga Formation in Benue TroughB. B.M. Dewu, I. I. Funtua, M. O.A. Oladipo et al.Problem statement: This study aimed at evaluating and beneficiating Bentonitic clays of Pindiga Formation from the upper Benue trough in northeastern Nigeria to meet the standard required for use in oil well drilling. This will reduce the dependence on imported Bentonite into the country, increase foreign exchange, improve the country’s economy and create employment opportunities. Approach: Three clay samples from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 16 Jan 2012 · 8,566 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Zeolite from Aluminium Etching By-Product: the Effect of Reaction Temperature on Crystallinity and Its CO2 Adsorption PropertyKanokorn Hussaro, Supaporn Douglas, Noppadon CheamsawatThe synthesis of zeolite from the by-product of aluminium etching process was investigated. The starting by-product reactant had high aluminium content, 92.17% wt. as Al2O3. Si and Na compositions were adjusted by the addition of sodium metasilicate, in the hydrogel process.The reaction time was fixed at 1 h., while the stirring speed was controlled at 200 rpm. and the temperature … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,524 accessesView PDF Cite
