The high cost and complexity of existing techniques used to remove heavy metal ions from water have necessitated developing and implementing cost-effective and socially acceptable options that can be applied at the household level. This work examined the ability of ceramic water...
The effects of Enantia chlorantha (ET) stem bark ethanoic extract on the corrosion of Mild steel in acids environment and acid basicity to concentration ratio on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of Enantia chlorantha on mild steel in acid environments was studied using elec...
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nano particles were prepared using sol-gel auto combustion method from Zinc acetate dehydrate and sodium hydroxide. Their structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties were studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the film’s hexagonal wur...
Lead sulfide (PbS) thin films with different concentrations of ligand have been deposited on the glass substrate at room temperature using Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD) technique. The influence of ligand on the Optical, Solid State, Morphological and Electrical properties of the...
This research is based on the design and fabrication of an agricultural produce solar dryer for the drying of chili pepper. The solar dryer consists of a solar absorption chamber and a drying chamber. The solar absorption chamber has an opening for the inlet of air, a dark-walled...
High board and packaging material demands due to increased internet sales require the board and packaging manufacturing industry to increase production capabilities. Legislature actions require the utilization of environmentally friendly packaging materials as well as upgrade exi...
Metal rubber (MR), as a new hysteresis non-linear elastic material with unique properties, has been extensively used in recent years, especially in aviation, aerospace and harsh conditions while the relevant theoretical research is still in the initial stage. In this paper, an ef...
Much interest has risen in the use of natural dyes due to intensified awareness of the environmental and health hazards associated with synthetic dyes. This study fabricated a cost-effective dye extractor and dryer machines for optimal dye extraction process. The fabrication was...
Silica-based materials generate the highly reactive silanol against metallic trace elements in contact with aqueous solutions. Their use in electroanalysis allows the creation of electrochemical sensors for the regular control of matrices. Silicon, a material derived from silica,...
Some lesser used wood species from the forests in Ghana are non-durable and have low dimensional stability. These wood species can be modified to improve such properties. Thermal treatment of wood can improve wood properties such as resistance to wood-destroying fungi and dimensi...
The main objective of this study was to compare the reactivity and mechanical characteristics of unfilled epoxy resin with those which are modified using core-shell rubber. Detailed experimentation consisting of various mixtures of core-shell rubber with epoxy resin was carried o...
Whereas the strength properties, economic benefits, and comparative advantages the uses of geosynthetics have over traditional alternatives of soil improvement are known, little is known of studies that ascertain the level of awareness of the functional uses of geosynthetics amon...

The rise in Industrialization all over the world today has been matched with an equivalent rise in the amount of CO2 being released to the atmosphere. The deleterious effect of CO2 ranging from global warming, ocean acidification, sea-level rise, and climate change has inspired r...
This review discusses the work done in the last three decades in our laboratory which describes the use of some common and novel synthesized active methylene compounds as well as heterocycles having active methyl or methine in the syntheses of a wide variety of substituted and co...
The composition of beverage cartons also called aseptic packaging materials is paper, polyethylene, and aluminum to provide the packaged products with long shelf life without refrigeration or adding preservatives. Various recovery processes in the chemical, thermochemical and rep...
