“…After being blended with the dung of the cow, the swine dung (SD) and poultry droppings (PD) mean yield of flammable biogas was 5.65 ± 2.62 L /overall mass of slurry and 4.88 ± 1.73, 5.55 ± 2.17, respectively. According to the overall results, the biogas production via cassava peels can be increased to a considerable extent if it is combined with the wastes of animal . According to Oladipo et al cassava peeling ash (CPA) is used in cement for the concrete work.…”

Cassava is a type of plant which has different purposes of use. It is used to produce various foods, biofibers, bio-composites, and bio-polymers. Besides, it is now used as renewable energy source of starch. The intention of the paper is to focus on the importance of cassava fibers, polymers, and composites as well as its potential applications, another focus point of this research is the biodegradable polymer development which is taken out from cassava starch. Moreover, this work gives a comprehensive review about surface treatments as well as the most recent developments of cassava polymer/fiber based bio-composites and the summary of main result presented in the literature, focusing on properties of cassava composite and applications. These applications were related to various industrial application as well as others such as the production of xylenes, ethanol and bio-fuel, food, food packaging and cassava foam. POLYM.

“…This quality derives from the fact that amylases from fermented cassava waste water are active at wide temperature and pH ranges. In another study, Ofoefule et al (2011) report that cassava waste-water processing could not lead to flammable gas on its own, but when mixed at the appropriate proportion with other biogas sources could be made flammable. So processing the waste water from cassava could also become a good energy source for frying the processed cassava into granules and flour called garri.…”

“…This biomass was then mixed with ground cassava peels to formulate feed for pigs. From palm oil processing, Ofoefule et al (2011) report that even though palm oil sludge could not produce quantifiable gas, however, when combined with other agro-based wastes [brewery spent grain (SG), carbonated soft drink sludge (SL) and cassava waste water], reasonable quantities of biogas were produced, which flamed after some lag.…”

In rural Nigeria, food processing is mostly engaged in by women and children. Most of these processes are done using outdated technologies that make use of traditional woodstoves. This article presents the health and environmental implications of the rural female entrepreneurs involved in food processing and proffer means of bettering the lot of these women to handle these hazards. A partially structured questionnaire and focus group discussion was used to capture data from respondents. The study revealed that about 73 % of women involved in direct production of garri and palm oil processing could be at risk of early death or disability-adjusted life years from the mentioned diseases. The article concludes that the rural female entrepreneur needs to be better positioned to handle these hazards, for her health, that of her children, as well as for the environment.

“…Treated waste water can also be used for drinking purposes as well, however many illness causing pathogens still exist in waste water. The 150 pathogens have been reported which may present in waste water however, with the passage of time more are being discovered [2]. There are biological, physical and chemical methods to treat waste water.…”

Abstract-An electrochemical oxidation technique was used for mineralizing the methylene blue dye dissolved in water. For this purpose, an electrochemical cell was used consisting of electrodes made from stainless steel and graphite. The effect of various factors on dye removal was studied such as current density, treatment time and initial concentration of dye solution. A substantial increase in dye removal was found to be in direct proportion with initial dye concentration. However, the dye removal was found to be increased with an increase of treatment time up to 30-40 min and current density up to 0.06 A cm -2 .
