Construction industries are rapidly growing, sacking high amounts of concrete which has a highly dense microstructure with excellent mechanical properties, more durable, and highly eco-friendly materials. Hence, many of ...

Composite electrode materials for removing paraquat from contaminated water were synthesized by loading aluminium oxide (Al2O3) onto activated carbon (AC) via co-precipitation method. The composite properties were investigated ...

Capacitive deionization (CDI) has shown potential in addressing freshwater scarcity. CDI's electrode design is a key to better performance as it determines the extent of water purification. For carbon electrodes, the pore ...

Due to population explosion and industrialization, waste biomass and polymer conversion into biofuel has attracted the interest of researchers. The application of the ZSM-5 catalyst for bio-oil upgrading into renewable ...

Effluents resulting from the frequent use of industrial azo dyes in textile operations have posed great toxicological impacts on man and the environment. The limitations of conventional treatment infrastructure necessitate ...

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are a group of nanoparticles made from a magnetic material such as iron, chromium, manganese, cobalt or nickel and a chemical component that exhibit superparamagnetic properties. They have a ...

Understanding the current performance of the broiler sub-sector in terms of production and finance is crucial for developing and implementing effective plans to enhance and improve it. Hence, the objective of this study ...

Purpose: African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) is a disease affecting livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. The use of trypanocidal agents is common practice to control AAT. This study aimed to identify drug-resistant ...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a staple food for many households in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and also contributes to the gross domestic product (GDP). However, the maize yields reported in most SSA countries are very low and this ...

Soil ecosystems comprise rich mixtures of diverse micro-organisms, crop debris, and organic matter; all of which cumulatively play a pivotal role in crop growth, health, and productivity. In particular, plant performance ...
