Surface Modification and Characterisation of Industrial Hemp Preform with Fenton-Initiated Free Radical Methyl Methacrylate Graft Copolymerisation

In this study, free radical graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) ontoindustrial hemp (Ihemp) preform was successfully performed using Fenton’s reagent(hydrogen peroxide, H₂O₂, as initiator and ferrous ammonium sulfate, (NH₄)₂Fe(SO₄)₂ꞏ6H₂O,as co-catalyst) under an inert nitrogen atmosphere in aqueous medium. The homopolymerformed duri...

Influence of Particle Size and Surface Treatment on Mechanical Properties of Bambara Nut Shell and Cowpea Husk-Polyester Composites

Bambara nut (Vigna subterranea) is a grain legume native to sub-Saharan Africa, with its shell remaining an underutilised agricultural waste. Similarly, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp), a widely cultivated legume crop in Africa, has husks with untapped potential for composite applications. Despite their availability, using Bambara nutshell and c...

Electrical Energy Management in the Textile Industry

Iliya, E.B.*, Abdulraheem Giwa, Ibrahim H.D

The sources and pattern of supply of electrical energy in a typical medium-scale Textile manufacturing outfit was studied over three months. The frequency of power failure from municipal supply was 408, amounting to 929.64hrs power outage. Low voltage was recorded 98times totaling 156hrs. Much of these hours were covered by in-house supply. Compari...

Study of the Adsorption of Anionic Dye onto Activated Bone Char

The adsorption of reactive dye onto activated carbon obtained from cow bones was investigated. The effects of dye concentration and pH on the adsorption of the dye onto the activated carbon were similarly investigated. The optimum adsorption was obtained at dye concentration of 45 mg/L and pH 6 respectively. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isoth...
