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...

Study of Physio-Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Resin Reinforced Maize Cob and Glass Fibre Hybrid Composites

Mary L.*, Abdullahi, D, Bukhari M. M., Nasruddeen A.

Natural and synthetic fibre hybrid composites are becoming more popular in engineering due to their ecofriendliness, lightweight nature, and low cost. This study focused on creating Maize Cob (MC)/Glass Fibre (GF) hybrid Epoxy Resin (ER) composites using hand-lay-up techniques with a 10% filler content. Various filler combinations (1%GF/9%MC, 7%GF/...

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...

Effects of Alkaline Treatment and Particle Size on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Melonhusk-Cellulose/Expandable Polystyrene Composites

Salisu A.*, Bukhari M. M., Dabo M., Imrana S.

The research investigated effects of alkaline treatment and particle size on physical and mechanical properties of melon-husk (MH) filled expandable polystyrene composites. In the process, MH particulate material size of 75 µm, 150 µm, 300 µm, and 600 µm were prepared and modified with alkaline (1%, 2 %, and 3 %,) based on weight volume fraction. T...

Study of the Adsorption of Anionic Dye onto Activated Bone Char

Jibril, A.*, Bukhari M. M., Abdulraheem Giwa, Ibrahim H.D

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...
