ABSTRACT This study focuses on the temporal monitoring and analysis of wastewater from Kira Tocvn Council. The distribution of the chemical constituents major and minor is determined and compared with National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) Standards of wastewater discharge on land and into water bodies. The obtained results indicated... Continue Reading

Abstract This study is aimed at determining the concentration of gold in the gold ore in lujinjimubende district. Currently investing in gold mining is taken as a riskyinvestmentbecause people are not sure of the concentration of gold in lujinji and also the depth where gold concentration is high. The results of this research gave the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT A survey of industrial pollution in Anambra state WFS carried out between February A990 and June 1997, The survey showed that Idemili, Onitsha and Nnewi Local Government Areas h3ve the greatest concentration of industries* Some of these industries.: discharqe their wastes into the environment with very little or no tre3tment....

ABSTRACT The total alkaloid, tannins contents and antiulcer activity of the extracts from four selected medicinal plants were investigated. The total alkaloids content (TAC) was evaluated according to the chloride colometric method in which atropine was used as standard. While the total tannins content (TTC) was also determined using Folin... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Zeolite crystals were synthesized by mixing sodium silicate and sodium aluminate to obtain aluminosilicate gel which was further treated hydrothermally to obtain the final product. The zeolite crystals were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD result identified the synthesized crystals... Continue Reading

This is all your endocrine system in play. Your endocrine system is responsible for regulating your growth, sexual development, mood, sleep, and numerous other biological... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Aquifer Hydraulic Characteristics and Vulnerability Estimation from Vertical Electrical Sounding: A Case Study of Oru and its Environs, South-Eastern, Nigeria was carried out to delineate the different aquifer units with a view to determine the vulnerability of groundwater in the area. The study area is underlain by the Benin Formation... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Geophysical survey involving electrical resistivity method has been carried out in Erunmu, Oyo state south-western Nigeria with a view to delineate the geoelectric characteristics of the basement complex and evaluate its ground water potential in the area. A total of 7 vertical electrical sounding stations were established within the site... Continue Reading

Petrophysical well logs were integrated in an analysis for the reservoir characterization of C and D wells located in the Offshore Depobelt of the Niger Delta Basin, Nigeria. The study essentially determined reservoir properties such as Lithology, shale volume, Porosity, hydrocarbon saturation and Net-Gross from Well logs with a  view to... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Geology and Water Quality Assessment of the Salt Lake areas of Okpoma and its environs in Yala Local Government Area of Cross River State has been carried out. The study area lies between longitude 08o 361 E to 08o 411 E of the equator and latitude 06o 321 N to 06o 371 N of the meridian respectively. They belong to the Eze-Aku Group of... Continue Reading

Abstract: Palynological analysis was carried out on twenty (20) ditch cutting samples from a section (1284.73– 1496.57 m) of the Amansiodo-1 well, Anambra Basin, southeastern Nigeria with the aim of determining the age, biozone, and depositional environment of the sediments within the depth interval. The laboratory techniques of digesting... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The logs from three wells of Obama Field, offshore south-west of Niger Delta Basin were studied for the purpose of evaluating the petrophysical properties and interpreting the depositional environments. The analyses carried out involve delineation of lithologies, identification of reservoirs and fluid types, wells correlation and... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Solid waste management over the years has been a serious problem on the nation  Ghana. This solid waste materials are generated by humans in the cities and  municipalities of almost all developing countries. In this country, it is one of the  most pressing concerns of the government because of the health problems that  comes with it... Continue Reading
