    Abstract: A microbial composition study of sediments of contaminated (CWS) and uncontaminated (UWS) lentic ecosystems within Akwa Ibom State was carried out by analyzing the small-subunit rRNA genes to determine the effect of hydrocarbon contamination on its microbial composition and diversity. Analysis of the V4 region of the community DNA from both sedimen... Show More

    Abstract: The Na2[Ru(NO)Cl3 (df)] (I) and cis-[Ru(NO)(df)(cyclen)]Cl2 (II) complexes (df=diflunisal (5-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxybenzoic acid, cyclen=1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, electronic (UV-Vis) and vibrational (FTIR) spectroscopic techniques. FTIR data suggests different modes of c... Show More

    Abstract: Coal-bed-methane (CBD) electrical power generation is an active and effective measure to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Using shell-and-tube heat exchangers to reduce the water content of pipeline gas can improve the efficiency of the generator set. Designing heat exchanger by ASPEN EDR software can save a lot of manual calculation process, ... Show More

    Abstract: The work aimed at decontaminating potentially toxic compounds found in the charcoal sample, started with collecting the sample of charcoal processed from Erythrophleum guineense (Sassy wood) established in an earlier work to be emitting toxic compounds. The sample was subjected to combustion in a chamber and the volatiles organic compounds (VOCs), ... Show More
