  Analyses of minerals and elemental oxides in rocks from Waltadi district, Song, Adamawa state Nigeria

  By Benson Aliyu, Osemeahon S. A., Ayodele Akinterinwa, Abdullahi Ismaila

  Abstract: Rock samples from six locations namely: Wataldi, Teuta, Kubta, Gumta, Dumneza and Wazo, within Waltadi district of Song Local government, Adamawa State, Nigeria, were studied qualitatively and quantitatively using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) respectively. Results obtained showed the presence of minerals including: Quartz, albite, rutile, sylvine, barite, chalcopyrite, kaonilite, anatase, stolzite, marshitecovellite and fluorannite. The major elemental oxides obtained includes: silicon oxide (SiO2), aluminium oxide …

  Biosorption of Cd2+, Cu2+ and Pb2+ Using Immobilized Moringa oleifera Leaves

  By Osemeahon S. A., Nkafamiya I. I., Anioke D., Akinterinwa A., Adebayo I. T.

  Abstract: Abstract In demonstration of the effectiveness of immobilized Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) leaves (IMOL) for the removal of metal ions from waste water, the leaves of M. Oleifera were immobilized by entrapping them within a polymeric matrix of calcium alginate. The concentration of residual metal ions after sorption was determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The result of sorption capacity of Cd2+, Cu2+ and Pb2+ were found to be 99.59±0.061, …
