Experimental Evaluation of Plant Extracts for Corrosion Inhibition of Metals in Acidic Medium of HClBy Chukwure Lebia Duka, Chukwuemeka Peter Ukpaka, Dagde Kenneth K.
Abstract: Experimental evaluation was carried out to examine the corrosion inhibition property using Mangifera indica leaf obtained in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria. The extract from M. indica leaf was used to examine the efficiency in metal behaviours of hydrochloric acid (HCl). Metals of carbon steel, mild steel and stainless steel was used in the present research work and the characteristics of metal was measured and calculated for samples immersed …

Comparative Study of Biodegradation of Hydrocarbons in Soils under Nipa Palm (Nypa fruticans Wurmb) TreatmentBy Chukwuemeka Peter Ukpaka, Loveday Nathaniel Pepple
Abstract: This study evaluated the potential of Nipa palm (Nypa fruticans) powder as an alternative amendment for remediation of crude oil polluted loamy and sandy soils. Further, the study investigated the bioremediation process using the first-order degradation rate and quadratic models. From the analysis, there were changes in the physicochemical properties of the soils under the Nipa palm powder amendment during the remediation. Also, TPH reduction in the amended soil samples …
