Briquette is a block of compressed materials suitable for burning. Briquettes can be made from low cost materials such as old newspaper, any bio mass wastes and agricultural residues. They can be used as fuel instead of charcoal, firewood or mineral coal and costs less. Depending on which materials were used to make the briquettes, they may burn... Continue Reading

Abstract A biofuel is a fuel that produced through contemporary biological processes such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes. It can be derived directly from plants or indirectly from agriculture or industrial waste. Bioethanol is an alcohol made by fermentation, it is produced from sugar or... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The use of ethanol in fuel blending has long been in use, and this help in controlling gas emissions but cannot be compared to bio-ethanol in control of greenhouse gas emissions. Bio-ethanol is known to adsorb CO 2 they emit; it also improves rural economy. A lot of materials especially starchy crops are used in the production of... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The production of bio-ethanol from Elephant grass ( Pennisetun purpureum)  stem was carried out using elephant grass stem as a feedstock and a combination of  Aspergillus   niger  at 0.2%(w/v) 0.4%(w/v), 0.6%(w/v), 0.8%(w/v) and 1%(w/v) concentrations and Saccharomyces cerevisiae  (brewer’s yeast) at 0.5% (w/v), 1%(w/v), 1.5%(w/v),...

ABSTRACT In the current study, coconut husk, a lignocellulosic biomass, was employed as the feedstock for production of bioethanol. The powderised coconut husks were subjected to thermal pretreatment, chemical pretreatment and microwave-assisted-alkaline (MAA) pretreatment... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This purpose of this experiment was to characterize wild strains of yeasts from different sources from north eastern Nigeria that have unique traits that will be applicable in the bioethanol production industry. The yeast characterization of these yeast strains were based on the yeast strain ability to grow at different temperature... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Groundnut (Arachis Hypogaea) shell and carpet grass (Axonopus flexuosus) were assessed for bioethanol production using dilute acid hydrolysis (10 %, 15 % and 20 % H2SO4) and fermentation using yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae). The percentage yields were determined to be 27.15 %, 19.69 % and 8.79 % for groundnut shell and 22.69 %, 13.92 %... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  Cassava  is  considered  as  a  potential  source  for  the  commercial  production  of  bioethanol because of its availability and low market price. It can be used as a basic source to support large-scale biological  production of  bioethanol using  microbial amylases. With  the progression  and advancement in... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  The growth and haematological response of growing rabbits to diets containing graded levels of sun dried bovine rumen content (SBRC) were studied. Five diets containing 0 (control), 10, 20, 30 and 40 % sun dried bovine rumen content coded as T1,T2,T3,T4 and T5, respectively, were compared. Twenty growing rabbits were randomly assigned...

ABSTRACT   The determination of some selected organochlorine pesticide residues in some vegetables grown within Gwagwalada Area Council were carried out using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometric Technique (GC/MS). Lindane, Dieldrin, Endosulfan and Heptachlor were determined in Telfairia occidentalis, Amaranthus hybridus and Talinum triangulare... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The high turn-over rate and quest for white meat have given more impetus to poultry production. The need to increase production and meet the demand for poultry meat has necessitated the use of veterinary drugs, especially antimicrobials, for therapeutic, prophylactic and growth promotion purposes in poultry farming. These drugs tend to... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Cocoa has been a major source of income for many Nigerians and a major source of foreign exchange earnings for the country. However its production has been experiencing a declining trend in recent times. Many factors have been implicated. One major factor is the inaccessibility of inputs.   The objective of this study therefore describes... Continue Reading
