Effect of Crude Oil Sorption Capacity on Raw and Modified Coir Fibre

Abubakar I. A.*, Kogo A. A., Bukhari M. M., Ishiaku S. U., El-Yakub B. J

A critical need for a more sustainable approach to oil spill cleanup in Nigeria, especially the Niger Delta, was highlighted by the environmental and economic devastation documented in the 2011 United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) assessment of Ogoni land. Existing cleanup methods relying on synthetic sorbents proved expensive, logistically ...

Experimental Investigation on Using Jute Fibre/Coir Fibre Blend Material as a Replacement for Polypropylene for Oil Spill Cleanup

Abubakar I. A.*, Kogo A. A., Bukhari M. M., Ishiaku S. U., El-Yakub B. J

Crude oil is generally one of the most important raw materials and energy sources worldwide. The accidental discharge of oil into the environment during production, transportation, refining, tanker accidents, sabotage and oil bunkering causes adverse effects on aquatic life and human economic activities. The current challenge is to produce effectiv...

Natural Kapok Fibres and Acetylated Jute/Coir Fibres Structured Blend Sorbent for Oil Spill Clean-Up

Abubakar I. A.*, Kogo A. A., Bukhari M. M., Ishiaku S. U., El-Yakub B. J

A novel structured sorbent blend pillow was developed using acetylated jute and coir fibres blendedwithnatural kapok fibres. The acetylation of the jute and coir portion was carried out with acetic anhydrideusing N-Bromosuccinimide as catalyst under mild condition in a solvent free system. The results showsthatthe acetylation increases the oil sorp...

Fabrication and Characterization of Flambouyant Seed Particles-filled Unsaturated Polyester Composites

Umar, H. A*, Ishiaku S. U., Mohammed K. Yakubu, Kogo A. A.

The research aimed at fabrication and characterization of Flambouyant Seed Particles (FSP) filled unsaturated polyester (UP) composites. The composites fabrication was achieved via hand layup with particle size of 100 µm at different filler loading of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22 wt %. The composites were characterized by tensile prope...

Effect of Filler Particle Size on the Mechanical Properties of Waste Polypropylene/ Date Seed Particulate Composites

Lawal N*, Danladi A, Dauda B M, Kogo A. A.

This study was aimed at investigating the effects of filler particle size on mechanical properties of waste polypropylene (wPP) / date seed particles (DSP) composites. Filler particle size of 63, 125, 250, 500 and 750 µm were used at 20 % filler loading. The composites obtained were subjected to mechanical tests (tensile and flexural test, impact t...
