Methanol is normally used in the oil and gas industries for inhibiting gas hydrate. Before use, the methanol is normally stored in tanks often made of carbon steels and stainless steels, and these tanks are prone to corrosion ...

Existing data show that Portland cement material production contributes ~8% to the global CO2 emissions. This is detrimental to the environment and can lead to global warming. It is therefore pertinent to develop alternative ...

This study examines the basic operation of an Organic Light Emitting Device (OLED) and Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Light Emitting Devices (HOILED) by looking at the individual characteristics of the each layer which makes up ...

Due to rapid industrialization, the demand for heavy metals is ever increasing, but the reserves of high-grade ores are diminishing. Therefore there is a need to explore alternative sources of heavy metals. Ore mine gangues ...

This research presents the design, construction, and analysis of the performance of a mixed-mode solar dryer for crops. A mixed-mode solar dryer utilizes direct solar radiation from the sun as well as input heat ducted ...

Organic-inorganic perovskite photovoltaics (PVs) have attracted a lot of attention as high- efficiency thin film PVs which are relatively cheap and easy to fabricate. Lead halide perovskites have shown a rapid rise in power ...

Topsoil stripping, drilling and blasting extraction, waste rock dumping, loading, and unloading, crushing and screening, and materials transport are among other activities involved in iron ore mining. These activities ...

Titanium alloy is popular in biomedical application owing to its low density, good biocompatibility (i.e. biological and chemical inertness) and excellent mechanical properties. Due to the high disparity between the implant ...

This work is aimed at studying activated carbons as supercapacitor electrode materials derived from plant biomass waste materials. The activated carbon raw materials are sourced from coconut shell, pine cone and rice husk ...

This work studies the adsorption capacity of laterite and iron oxide nanoparticles for dissolved ions in solution and therefore its ability to reduce conductivity of mine waste effluent. Three laterite samples were prepared ...

Materials selection is done regarding to the availability, cost and performance of the candidates. In buildings, cement is the material that is widely used, even though it is releases co2 (estimated about 7% of the worldwide ...

The Luteinizing Hormone-releasing Hormone (LHRH); also known as a Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone can be utilized for targeted therapy with cytotoxic analogs, in which prodigiosin is linked to the [D-Lys6] LHRH. Our studies ...

One of the unintended impacts of crude oil exploration is the pollution of agricultural land and aquatic resources when there is accidental oil spillage. The environmental effect of this has resulted in untold hardship to ...

This thesis is focused on fabrication of biodegradable implantable devices for extended localized drug release. Paclitaxel (PT) was used as cancer drug in the study. Poly lactic –co- glycolic acid (PLGA) is a polymer used ...

In the recent decade, hybrid organic- inorganic trihalide perovskite solar cells have attracted significant interest from the scientific community due to their unique optoelectrical properties, ease and low cost of ...

This paper presents the use of multilayered chitosan films incorporated with antimicrobial agent, potassium sorbate to enhance effective food packaging. In this study, potassium sorbate was incorporated into multilayer ...

Failure of offshore oil and gas pipelines occurs under certain conditions due to some applied mechanical forces. These conditions constitute a potential threat to the integrity of in-service life span of the pipelines ...

The study explores the investigation of the chemical composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of steel and cement mortar used in reinforced concrete. The compositions and mechanical properties of the locally ...

Many building collapsed cases have been reported throughout the West African regions. It is recorded that during some of these subsidences, many lives are lost and the vast majority end up in hospitals and clinics with ...

Like any industry, the economic success of the oil and gas industry can be no swifter than its success in corrosion control/prevention. Some oil and gas industries operate in hostile offshore environment that harbors ...
