Bioremediation of Crude Oil-Contaminated Loamy Soil Using Plantain (Musa Paradisiaca) Stem Waste as a Biostimulant
Abstract: Crude oil contamination of soil is a pressing environmental challenge in oil-producing regions, especially in the Niger Delta of Nigeria. It degrades soil fertility, disrupts microbial ecosystems, and poses long-term ecological and health risks. Traditional remediation methods are often cost- prohibitive and environmentally intrusive, prompting the search for sustainable alternatives. This study investigates the potential of plantain (Musa paradisiaca) stem waste – a readily available agricultural byproduct – as a …

A Parametric Study of Methylene Blue Adsorption Using Low-cost Adsorbent
Abstract: This research focused on the adsorptive capacity of activated carbonaceous substance made from the peel of Spanish cherries to remove methylene blue dye from wastewater. Through batch adsorption tests, the impact of several variables on the percentage of dye removal was examined. These variables included adsorbent preparation temperature, adsorbent dosages, initial concentration of dye solution, process time, pH of dye solution, and operation temperature. It was found that using 1 …

A Review on Novel Emulsification Technique: A Nanoemulsion
Abstract: Kinetically stable and isotropic system of submicron size range is the nanoemulsion. In this system two immiscible liquids are mixed together to form a single-phase system with the identical concentration and ratio of surfactant and cosurfactant. Nanoemulsion droplet sizes fall typically in the range of 20- 200 nm. Some literature suggest this range below 100 nm with shows narrow size distribution. In this review, major focus is given on the …

A Brief Introduction on the Electrokinetic Mixing and Separation in Microfluidic Systems
Abstract: Electrokinetics encompasses the analysis of fluid or particle motion in the electrical field; includes electroosmosis, electrophoresis, dielectrophoresis, electro-wetting, etc. Electrokinetic applications in the production of microfluidic systems have become quite attractive over the last decade. Electro-kinetic systems usually do not need any additional mechanical moving parts and may be made compact by removing the power source with a small battery. Electro-kinetic based microfluidic systems may also serve as a feasible …

Flow Structures Around Proposed Bridge Piers
Abstract: The current study investigated the flow hydrodynamics around proposed bridge pier and made comparison with existing bridge pier. To quantify the flow structures around the piers, the flow and turbulence parameters are analysed to understand the interference of one bridge pier over another. The experiments were performed on recirculating channel of 15 m length, 0.89 m width and 0.65 m height. Instantaneous three-dimensional velocity data was recorded by acoustic Doppler …

Catalyst, Mixed Catalyst and Additive Effects on the Oscillatory Behaviour of Pyrogallol based Chemical Oscillator
Abstract: The present work is aimed to investigate the effect of the metal ions used as single as well as mixed catalysts and Mo(VI) ion as additive on the oscillatory behaviour of the reaction system comprising of pyrogallol (1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene) as organic substrate and inorganic bromate as oxidant in aqueous sulphuric acid medium (1.5 mol Lï€1). The reactions were monitored both spectrophotometrically and potentiometrically. From kinetic study, the order of reactivity of …
