Treatment of Textile Liquid Effluents Using Activated Carbon from Palm Kernel Shells

ILIYA E. B*

Effluents from the primary discharge points of two textile industries were subjected to analysis  and subsequent purification utilizing particulate substrates derived from palm kernel shells. The  shells underwent cleaning, milling, and sieving to produce four distinct particle size fractions.  Five-gram aliquots of raw, carbonized, and chemically activated (using FeCl3, CaCl2, and a 2:1  ZnCl2:Fe...

Synergizing the Electrical Conductivity of Functionalized Woven Polyester (PET) with In-Situ Polymerization of Aniline

ILIYA E. B*

Polyester fabric (100%) was electrically functionalized by dyeing in pristine multi-walled carbon  nanotubes in Miranol at different shades (0.1 - 6.0) % (owf). Aniline was then polymerized within each  of the fabric samples using Sulphuric acid and Potassium peroxydisulphate at oxidant: monomer ratio  1.25 and LR 40:1. After polymerization, the conductivity percolation threshold reduced from 1.0 ...
