1. Significance of Biochar Application to the Environment and Economy

ABSTRACT
Biochar is a carbon-rich solid formed from organic residue by pyrolysis. The productivity of biochar relies on feedstock type and pyrolysis conditions. Studies on biochar were discussed relating its application and production as a source of soil remediation and bio-economy. Pyrolysis conditions, gasification, hydrothermal carbonization were discussed in this study in obtaining biochar for remediation of soil. Biochar has made substantial breakthroughs in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, reducing soil nutrient leaching losses, sequester atmospheric carbon into the soil, increasing agricultural productivity, reducing the bioavailability of environmental contaminants, and subsequently, becoming a value-added product sustaining bio-economy. Bio-economy implies the exploration and exploitation of bio-resources, which involves the use of biotechnology to create new bio-products of economic value. Biochar is a marketable bio-product, which can be used in agriculture, industries, and the energy sector. Thus, biochar production can enhance soil property and provide opportunities for additional income. This review presents the production, agronomic and economic benefits of biochar… research

2. Evaluating Rheological Properties and Recovery Performance of Polymeric Anionic Surfactant synthesized from non-edible seed oil on heavy crude recovery

ABSTRACT
This research focuses on heavy crude recovery using the dual recovery process of macromolecules formulated from environmentally friendly seed oil and polymer (Xanthan gum) with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. The inexpensive, non-toxic polymeric surfactant (PSURFC) is synthesized through a free radical polymerization technique involving novel non-edible seed oil surfactant and xanthan gum. Rheology shows a shear-thinning behavior at room temperature indicates an improvement in the rheology on surfactant addition to the mixture. As a macromolecule, PSURFC combines dual oil recovery nature in a single component thereby influencing interfacial tension (IFT) and mobility ratio simultaneously. Its performance during enhanced oil recovery (EOR) was evaluated through core flooding, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), IFT, and rheology. EOR was conducted using OFITE®’s reservoir permeability tester (RPT) as the core flooding apparatus on five sets of Berea sandstone core samples. Its implementation in EOR improved oil recovery when compared with water flooding, surfactant, and polymer flooding. Sequel to the conventional water flooding, the efficiency of PSURFC gave additional recoveries of 54%, 60%, and 70% of the initial oil in place. This result validates the ability of polymeric surfactants to effectively mobilize residual oil under typical sandstone reservoir conditions. research

3. Production of activated carbon from African star apple seed husks, oil seed and whole seed for wastewater treatment

ABSTRACT
African star apple seed husks, oil seed and whole seed were used for activated carbon production for the treatment and elimination of suspended and dissolved particles from industrial waste water. The activated carbon was produced using chemical activation method with phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and zinc chloride (ZnCl2) as the activating agents at a carbonization temperature of 500 C. The morphological interpretations and functional groups of the activated carbon were observed using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy respectively. Results obtained from the various pollution indicators showed an appreciably improvement on the quality of the water. The pH, temperature, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids and biological oxygen demand were determined with variation of the contact time of the activated carbons with the industrial wastewater. Seed husks of zinc chloride and Oil seed of phosphoric acid produced an activated carbon with the highest adsorptive performance for pH, temperature, Total Dissolved solids (TDS), Total suspended solids (TSS) and Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) removal at 7.01, 7.14; 25.1 C, 25.0 C; 24.20 mg/L, 21.09 mg/L; 17.64 mg/L, 15.4 mg/L and 6.28 mg/L, 4.8 mg/L respectively at 150min and yield of 75.2% and 54.3%. research

4. African Star Apples Whole Seed Activated Carbon Powder as a Bio-adsorbent of Crystal Violet Dye Removal from Aqueous Solution

ABSTRACT
Investigation shows that African star apple (ASA) whole seed has the potential to eliminate crystal violet (CV) dye from aqueous solutions. Batch adsorption studies were performed to show some parameters, which include temperature, amount of adsorbent pH, dye concentration and dosage with respect to contact time. The characterization was experimented on the adsorbent with respect to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Flory-Huggins model and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherms were analyzed using an acidic solution of pH 3.0. Langmuir and DR models gave better fit than others. Thermodynamic variables such as entropy (Δ S ads), Gibbs free energy (Δ G ads) and enthalpy (Δ H ads) suggest that adsorption is spontaneous, making the process endothermic in nature. The kinetics model also describes the adsorption of the dye on the adsorbent by pseudo-first order, Elovich and pseudo-second order equation. Attainment of equilibrium was achieved in 5 h for the amount of dye adsorbed at pH of 8. Column adsorption was made for bulk removal of dye using eluting NaCl solution, thereby recovering 94% of the dye. research

5. Experimental optimization of engine performance of a dual-fuel compression-ignition engine operating on hydrogen-compressed natural gas and Moringa biodiesel

ABSTRACT

Non admixed Natural gas-fueled diesel engines are usually associated with harsh engine emissions as well as low performances at moderate to high engine loads. However, the use of Moringa biodiesel as additive in hydrogen-compressed natural gas (HCNG) is a viable novel strategy for reducing toxic emissions such as hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides in CI engines. In this study, five hybrid HCNG– Moringa biodiesel (MB) oil samples labelled A–E were analyzed for their abilities to improve the overall performance of a CI engine (Petter PH1W diesel engine). The fuels had a fixed volume by volume hydrogen : carbon ratio of 87:13% respectively, and the HCNG–MB hybrid samples consisted of 0, 5, 7, 10 and 13 %v/v MB for samples A, B, C, D and E, respectively. At higher engine loads (i.e. 58%–100%), the engine performance improved thus giving higher BTEs in the range of 19–33.9% for all the fuel blends relative to the BTE (15.1%–19%) of the unblended HCNG fuel; this confirms the suitability of MB as an additive for improving the brake thermal efficiency of CI engines; there were also reductions in HC, O2, CO2, CO and NOx emissions for all the MB–HCNG fuels relative to the case of the unblended HCNG fuel. At optimum condition, the fuel that gave the best results in terms of the aforementioned engine characteristics is the MB–HCNG fuel blend having 10% MB. research
