Nanofiltration Performance of a Functionalized UiO-66 Membrane

Shangkum Yildun Goji*, Solomon Philip, Rotbe Gurumjib, Lawal Rabiat Abdullahi, Ranga Yusuf Garba, Gongden Joel Japhet, Yoila Dakup Kitgak, Simon Kwene Dangkat

This research investigates the design principle for metal organic frameworks (MOF) deposited composite membranes for  nanofiltration using functionalized/modified UiO-66 (UiO stands for University of Oslo) nanoparticles for the purpose of  exploring the importance of functional groups around the nanopores. The nanoparticles were synthesized using water as  modulator and characterized by XRD, FTIR,...

Potential of Manihot Esculenta (Cassava) Peels for Electricity and Heat Co-Generation in Nigeria

S. I. Kuye*, Oyeniran Timothy O, Adekunle Nurudeen Olatunde, Benedict Uche Anyanwu, Olamide O.O

Nigeria is the largest producer of cassava in the world and the peel accounts for between 5 -15% of the tuber. Cassava peel  is often left unattended in the country, making it a source of methane gas which is one of the culprits of global warming.  Agricultural residues are good sources of renewable energy. This study investigated the potential of electricity and heat  generation from cassava peel...
