    Abstract: Ethiopia has a large biomass of water hyacinth (Eichhorniacrassipes) in Lake Koka and LakeTana during the summer season. Local community of Lake Koka doesn’t use this water hyacinth. So the activity is designed to produce biodiesel from water hyacinth and determine its quality parameters. This should be based on the concept of produce renewable ene... Show More

    Abstract: The corrosion of mild steel is a problem in industrial processes based on its deterioration on exposure to acids, alkalis, and salt solutions. This issue has prompted an increase in research interest in order to mitigate the harmful effects of corrosion on metals and their alloys. The thermodynamic and adsorption analysis of mild steel in 0.5M hydr... Show More
