  Experimental-based Study of Justicia carnea and Moringa oleifera Extract on Crude oil Remediation of Contaminated Loamy Soil

  By Ukpaka C. P., Obuge. A. M., Amadi S. A., Puyate Y. T.

  Abstract: This study was carried out to investigate the comparison of the performance of Justicia carnea and Moringa oleifera plants extract treated with direct sunlight and the absence of sunlight on the bioremediation process of crude oil contaminated loamy soil. Total petroleum hydrocarbon degraded,total microbial count, pH, amount of nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium, soil total organic carbon, total soil organic matter were examined. Twenty one (21) batch reactors were used for …

  Investigation on Catalyst Selection for Polymerization Processes in Petrochemical Industries

  By Ukpaka C. P.

  Abstract: Organic polymers are long-chain compounds made of several repeating units. These polymers are either natural, such as protein, cellulose, starch or synthetic, such as polyethylene (a plastic), polyesters and polyamides (plastics and fibers) and polybutadiene (rubber).Many organic compounds possessing multiple bonds have the tendency to polymerize in the presence of an initiator. Polymerization of these compounds can either be affected by the use of chemical initiators such as free radicals …
