Volume 8, Issue 1 , January 2017, , Pages 36-43

https://doi.org/10.5829/idosi.ijee.2017.08.01.07

Abstract
  The activated charcoal (AC) was synthesized from banana leaf rim (BLR) through three activation methods; physical (BLRC), chemical (Z BLRC, zinc chloride) and microwave activation (MW BLRC). The AC was characterised using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscope ...  Read More

I. P. Ehi; J. K. Bidemi; L. E. Yahaya

Volume 7, Issue 1 , January 2016, , Pages 48-51

https://doi.org/10.5829/idosi.ijee.2016.07.01.07

Abstract
  The kinetic and characteristics of water absorption of cocoa-pod husk filler reinforced epoxy composite by short-term immersion at room temperature was studied. Composite specimen containing 5, 10, 20 and 30% filler volume fraction were prepared. The percentage of moisture uptake increased as the fibre ...  Read More

https://doi.org/10.5829/ijee.2018.09.01.07

Abstract
  Phytoremediation is a process which utilizes plants to remove contaminants from the environment. It is the latest alternative to treatment technique that needs to identify potential plants and their ability to resist toxicity of contaminants before a full scale system can be installed to ensure that ...  Read More

Recirculation of Process Water in a Wet Fermentation of Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste

A. Zentner; C. Dornack

Volume 10, Issue 1 , March 2019, , Pages 49-57

https://doi.org/10.5829/ijee.2019.10.01.08

Abstract
  The mechanical biological treatment plant of Freienhufen is used to stabilize residual waste. Since the rural districts Elbe - Elster and Oberspreewald - Lausitz match their waste management with federal law, organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) will be collected separately in future. Hence ...  Read More
