    Abstract: This study aims the evaluation of environmental impacts of dusty fluid on the production of nutriment alcohol at Logozohè through a physico-chemical settings of its components and an assessment of it impact on river Klou which is the fallen point. Then, twenty-two (22) skills were measured through the normative methods on eight (08) areas along t... Show More

    Abstract: Animal bones have been used to produce carbon char for quality assessment of activated carbon over non activated carbon (used as sample control) as influenced by method of activations (acid and heat). In this study samples analyzed were carbonized in a closed crucible at 400°C and ground into powder after cooling. 200g of each of the crushed sample... Show More

    Abstract: Zeolite (ZSM) catalysts are known to convert small-size alkenes, e.g., propene, into aromatic hydrocarbons, specifically benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTX), with both high efficiency and specificity. The efficiency of conventional and hierarchical nano-size ZSM-5 for propene aromatization was compared in this study using a Design of Experiments (DO... Show More
