The performance of a mixture of a forest bye product and cement for the production of storage structure for harvested rainwater
was assessed. Three mix ratios of Cement: Gmelina arborea sawdust 3.0:1.0 (specimen A), 2.5:1.0 (specimen B) and 2.0:1.0 (specimen C) were considered. Engineering properties and dimensional
stability of the different mix-ratios were monitored from prototypes cylindrical pots and test billet specimens. Possible
change in quality of stored rainwater, with time was monitored in all the three cases. Water quality parameters monitored
include pH, hardness, total suspended solids, alkalinity, acidity and total dissolved CO2. The tensile stress obtained were 110, 104, and 95 N/mm2, while the compressive strength were 5,000, 3,000, and 2,000 kN for specimens A, B and C respectively. Accelerated aging
test showed that sample A were more resistant to deformation, while specimen C were more susceptible to change in structure
over time. Similarly, the values of tensile and compressive strength after accelerated aging test increased in the order of
specimen A > B > C. Except in specimen C where significant differences in alkalinity and acidity were observed, there were
no significant differences in quality of the water stored in the pots after 2 months of storage. The results indicate the
suitability of the Gmelina arborea waste as an alternative in constructing water storage structures in rural communities. 相似文献

Samples of compost-amended soil from waste dumping sites in Lagos Metropolis were extracted with dichloromethane (3 × 20 cm3) and the extract was evaporated at 35 °>C. The residue was extracted with 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, and portions of the solution were applied to a column containing silica gel from which aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons were eluted with n-hexane and toluene respectively. Analysis of the n-hexane fraction using gas chromatography showed the presence of a mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons, ranging from C9 to C25, while ultraviolet analysis of the toluene fraction suggested 1,2-benzanthracene; 2,3-benzphenanthrene, chrysene and pyrene as polyaromatic compounds present in samples analyzed. The crude extracts were highly coloured and viscous. Total extractable organic residues in the 2,2,4-trimethylpentane extracts ranged from 36 to 89 mg g-1 of soil. 相似文献

The ability of ackee apple (AA) seeds to remove Congo Red (CR) dye from aqueous solution was investigated. AA was characterised using thermo gravimetric analyser, scanning electron microscopy, Braunauer Emmett Teller, pHpzc, elemental analysis and Boehm titration. The effects of operational parameters such as adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial dye concentration and solution pH were studied in a batch system. pH has a profound influence on the adsorption process. Maximum dye adsorption was observed at pH 3.0. The reaction was fast, reaching equilibrium in 90 min. Adsorption data were best described by Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with a maximum monolayer coverage of 161.89 mg·g?1. Both boundary layer and intraparticle diffusion mechanisms were found to govern the adsorption process. Thermodynamic parameters such as standard free energy change (Δ G 0), standard enthalpy change (Δ H 0), and standard entropy change (Δ S 0) were studied. Values of Δ G 0 varied between?30.94 and?36.56 kJ·mol?1, Δ H 0 was 25.61 kJ·mol?1, and Δ S 0 was 74.84 kJ·mol?1·K?1, indicating that the removal of CR from aqueous solution by AA was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. Regeneration and reusability studies were carried out using different eluents. AA gave the highest adsorption efficiency up to four cycles when treated with 0.3 M HCl. AA was found to be an effective adsorbent for the removal of CR dye from aqueous solution. 相似文献

The distribution of environmental pollutant, sulphur, over Kano municipality was monitored on the basis of the chemical analysis of Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) needles collected from randomly selected sampling points over the period 1995–1996. Of the five zones in which the municipal area was subdivided, two could be regarded as least polluted, two as moderately polluted and one zone as heavily polluted. The mean value of all measurements in the metropolis amounted to 1940 gg–1 S with a co-efficient of variation of 38 percent. 相似文献

A knowledge of the total content of trace metals is not enoughto fully assess the environmental impact of polluted soils. Forthis reason, the determination of metal species in solution isimportant to evaluate their behaviour in the environment andtheir mobilization capacity. Sequential extraction procedure wasused to speciate five heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni and Zn) fromfour contaminated soils of Southern Nigeria into sixoperationally defined geochemical species: water soluble,enchangeable, carbonates, Fe-Mn oxide, organic and residual.Metal recoveries were within ± 10% of the independentlydetermined total Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni and Zn concentrations. The highest amount of Cd (avg. 30%) in the nonresidual fractionswas found in the exchangeable fraction, while Cu and Zn weresignificantly associated with the organic fraction. Thecarbonate fraction contained on average 14, 18.6, 12.6, 13 and11% and the residual fraction contained on average 47, 18, 33,50 and 25% of Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni and Zn respectively. Assuming thatmobility and bioavailability of these metals are related to thesolubility of the geochemical form of the metals, and that theydecrease in the order of extraction sequence, the apparentmobility and potential bioavailability for these five metals inthe soil were: Pb > Zn > Cu > Ni > Cd. The mobility indexes ofcopper and nickel correlated positively and significantly withthe total content of metals, while mobility indexes of cadmiumand zinc correlated negatively and significantly with the totalcontent of metals. 相似文献
