Design and Fabrication of Mini-Household Water Treatment System
Abstract: Access to safe drinking water remains a serious challenge in many developing countries, including Nigeria, due to pollution, poor infrastructure, and ineffective water management. This study presents the design, fabrication, and performance evaluation of a mini household water treatment system that uses charcoal carbon derived from desert date wood. The project aims to provide a low-cost, gravity-driven, and sustainable water purification solution for rural and peri-urban households. The system consists …

Water Comparative Study of Water Quality
Abstract: Water quality plays a vital role in safeguarding human health, maintaining environmental balance, and supporting socio-economic progress. For drinking purposes, water must satisfy established physical and chemical criteria to minimize health hazards and ensure the efficient functioning of biological processes. This research focuses on a comparative assessment of drinking water quality by analyzing key parameters such as pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), hardness, and fluoride levels in both tap water …

Synthesis, Characterization of New Imidazolidin-4-One Containing Azo Compound Derived from Acetylacetone as Antibacterial and Antioxidant Agents
Abstract: In the present study, new derivatives of imidazolidine-4-one was prepared. Which involved reactions to diazonium salt of o-methoxy aniline with acetylacetone in the presence of sodium hydroxide, and isolating the azo compound as a brown precipitate. The azo diketone reacts efficiently with aromatic amine derivatives to produce Schiff bases as a light yellow and dark brown precipitates, and from this Schiff bases three derivatives of imidazolidine-4-one was prepared by reacting …

Formulation and Evaluation of Topical Antiacne Gel from Coriander and Garlic Extract
Abstract: Objective: To develop and evaluate a topical anti-acne gel formulated using aqueous extracts of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) and garlic (Allium sativum). The study aims to assess the antibacterial efficacy of the gel against acne-causing bacteria, specifically Propionibacterium acnes. Methods: 1.Extraction: Coriander Extract: Aqueous extraction was performed by soaking coriander seeds in distilled water, followed by filtration. Garlic Extract: Non-chemical extraction involved mixing crushed garlic with honey in a 1:1 ratio …

Green Fabrication of Glutaraldehyde-Crosslinked Chitosan/PVA Biocomposite for Heavy Metal Removal from Wastewater
Abstract: Chitosan (CS) and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) are polymers that possess biodegradable, biocompatible, and non-toxic properties, making them suitable for wastewater treatment applications. The primary objective of this research is to chemically modify chitosan in a novel manner to enhance its ability to remove hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. In this study, a composite material was synthesized by crosslinking PVA and CS with glutaraldehyde (GA), resulting in the formation of …
