Remediation of Condemn Oil Polluted Loamy Soil Using Azadirachta Indica (Neem)
Abstract: The remediation of condemn oil polluted loamy soil using neem (azadirachta indica) was investigated. The neem leaves came from Akpugo in the southeast Nigerian state of Enugu State's Nkanu West local government area. The leaves were dried at room temperature and subjected to grinding machine to obtain the powdered form of the dried leaves that serve as treatment to remediate condemn oil polluted loamy soil. Three masses 5g, 10g and …

Need of Biocomposite Polymers In 3D Printing: Addressing Environmental and Public Health
Abstract: Concerns over the effects of conventional polymer materials on the environment and human health have been highlighted by the growing use of additive manufacturing or 3D printing. Traditional synthetic composites are usually made of petroleum-based plastics that include a range of chemical agents, such as additives and plasticizers. The increasing use of 3D printing has sparked concerns about the environmental and health risks linked to traditional polymer materials. With an …

A Critical Review on Semi-solid and Solid Lubricants for Industrial Applications
Abstract: Friction materials are very important for the safe moving of automobiles and the safety of people. As the pad slides against its match, the moving energy is turned into heat by the friction. As the vehicle's speed is lost as heat in the pads and rotors, the friction at the contact slows it down. Lubricants are compounds that are applied to moving parts to reduce friction and wear. Used primarily …

Influence of Catalyst Type and Reaction Conditions on Biodiesel Conversion of Pine and Soapnut Oils
Abstract: Biodiesel produced from non-edible oils is becoming an important replacement for petroleum diesel because it is renewable, environmentally friendly, and suitable for use in existing diesel engines. It helps reduce air pollution, lowers dependence on fossil fuels, and supports sustainable energy development. Pine oil and soapnut oil are two promising non-edible feedstocks because they are easy to obtain, inexpensive, and contain chemical compounds that can be effectively converted into biodiesel. …

Automatic Solar Panel Cleaning Robot Using Wi-Fi
Abstract: Addressing fuel shortages stands as one of the most critical global challenges today, alongside the significant issue of water scarcity for both urban and rural populations. A considerable portion, around 60-70%, of the country's electricity demand is fulfilled by burning wood and agricultural waste. Solar energy is the most abundant renewable energy on earth which doesn’t pollute the environment while producing the energy. Solar power, harnessing renewable energy from gentle …

Investigations Into the Potential for Anthracene Decomposition of Novel Soil Bacterium, Pseudomonas putida P7
Abstract: Bioremediation of hazardous contaminants holds immense importance for the preservation of a clean and healthy environment. Conversely, the accumulation of toxicants can be mitigated with the assistance of microorganisms capable of breaking down these harmful substances into benign molecules. Anthracene is frequently used as a model molecule for studies on PAH pollution because it is found in many carcinogenic PAHs. Therefore, the hunt for new microorganisms with the ability to …

LPG GAS Weight Measuring Stand.
Abstract: The LPG Gas Weight Measurement Stand is a novel project, with the target to measure the leftover weight of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in cylinders precisely so that it can be consumed efficiently and also refilled punctually. Traditional methods depend upon manual guess or weighing scales, which are tiresome and inaccurate. The project presents a dedicated weighing stand with a load cell sensor, microcontroller (such as Arduino or ESP8266), and …

A comprehensive review on Sustainable Pathways to Synthesize 2, 5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) from 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) via Oxidative Processes
Abstract: The increasing global concern over the environmental impact of traditional plastics derived from petroleum and natural gas has spurred a search for more sustainable alternatives. Bioplastics, which are derived from renewable sources and may be biodegradable, have garnered significant interest as eco-friendly materials. Among the promising building blocks for bioplastics, 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) has emerged due to its potential to enhance polymer properties. One key precursor for bioplastics, 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), …
