  By S. A. Osemeahon, E. A. Agala, A. M. Kolo, A. Akinterinwa

  Abstract: The membranes of Detarium microcarpum seeds (DMS) and Alfzelia africana seeds (AAS) were developed. The water uptake capacities for DMS and AAS were found to be 500% and 390% respectively. The percentage of water uptake by Detarium microcarpum membrane and Alfzelia africana membrane, both increased with increased in the concentration of DMS and AAS as well as pH. The effect of contact time on water uptake showed that the water …
