The production and analysis of “Ngu” extract for temperature and water requirement for leaching of casuistic alkali is the basic objective of this project. The production was carried out by using unit operations and also using the female inflorescence of a palm fruit (Eleasis Guineesis) as raw material. The female inflorescence of palm fruit was size reduced from original dimensions to maintain particle size characteristics. The size […]

This project is carried out to know the effects of salt water on concrete. Salt water has salinity of about 3.5%. in that, about 78% is sodium chloride and 15% is chloride and sulphate of magnesium. The result gotten from the experiment being carried out shows different result from the mix design, casting, curing and crushing of different dates of each cubes. The compressive strength of each cube was also determined e.g. for the compre […]

A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between temperature (20 oC to 100 oC) on the viscosities palm kernel oil, a-z oil, red oil and water. The viscosities of this different vegetable oil and water were determined using Model 3500LS viscometer, at a shear rate of 30 rpm. The mean viscosity at different temperature interval 20oC to 100oC ranged from 27.0 to 9.50 cP for PKO refined, 24.5 to 15.0cP for a-z oil, 24.5 to 15. […]

Sugarcane Bagasse is the fibrous residue leftover when sugarcane is squeezed for its juice. Bagasse ash is obtained by subjecting Bagasse to calcinations using furnace. This work is aimed tat using Bagasse Ash as a replacement in the production of concrete. The bagassewas collected from dumped in a marketin Kano and thereafter sun-drie to eliminate any trace of moisture. It was then taken to the blast furnace for calcinations(controlle […]
