Synthesis of nano-hydroxyapatite from a biogenic waste for the removal of manganese from wastewater

Amuda O.S., Sanni K.A., Kolawole L.L., Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, NG

A novel Hydroxyapatite nanopowder prepared from a biogenic waste, shell of a gastropod, by hydrothermal method was used for adsorption of manganese ion in wastewater. The nano-Hap produced was characterized using XRD, FTIR and SEM. [...]

Strain gradients in poly-SiGe nanocantilevers: experimental and finite element modeling studies

Asafa T.B., Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, NG

One of the fundamental structural requirements for successful performance of N/MEM devices such as nanoswitches, nanoresonators and biosensors is low strain gradient. Excessive strain gradient leads to unwanted deflection, which consequently alters the dynamic and [...]

A Comparative Study on Sorption of As (V) ions on Hematite, Goethite and Magnetite Nanoparticles

Adegoke H.I., Adekola F.A., Fatoki O.S., Ximba B.J., University of Ilorin, NG

Hematite (-Fe2O3), magnetite (Fe3O4) and goethite (-FeOOH) nanoparticles were synthesized by transformation of ferrihydrite and precipitation methods, this materials were used for the removal of arsenic (V) ions from aqueous solution. The synthesized nanoparticles were [...]
