  Bioremediation: Sorption of Cu2+, Fe3+, Mn2+, and Zn2+ Using Immobilized Ficus Sycomorus Leaves Biomass

  By Ayodele Akinterinwa, I. I. Nkafamiya, Mustapha Adamu, J. I. Japari

  Abstract: Abstract Sorption of Fe3+, Mn2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+ by immobilized Ficus sycomorus leaves (IFSL) in aqueous solution was studied in this work. The sorption capacity (in percentage) was calculated with respect to the remnant ion concentration, determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) and these were obtained for the metal ions as follows; Fe3+: 99.84±0.0015%, Mn2+: 99.97±0.0005%, Zn2+: 84.10±0.0094% andCu2+: 94.32±0.0033%. Some conditions that influence the sorption capacity of metal ions …

  Preliminary Studies of the Effects of Some Extraction Methods/Procedures on the Yield and Physicochemical Properties of African Breadfruit Seed Oil (Treculia africana)

  By Akinterinwa Ayodele, J. I. Japari, V. Charles, S. Abba

  Abstract: African breadfruit seed oil (ABFSO) was extracted using traditional and solvent extraction methods. The procedure for the solvent extraction was varied as different solvent including; n-hexane, methanol, xylene and acetone were used in the extraction. The least oil yield (3.6%) was obtained from the traditional method while the highest was obtained using n-hexane in solvent extraction. The oil extracts which includes the traditional extract (TDE), n-hexane extract (N-HE), methanol extract …
