    Assessment of radiogenic heat generation in a flood plain of crystalline Basement rocks
    (IOP Publishing, 2019-08) Adagunodo, T. A.; Sunmonu, L. A.; Adabanija, Moruffdeen A.; Omidiora, J. O.; Emetere, M. E.; Joel, E. S.; Ijeh, Victor; Esse, Ugwunwa C.
    Concentrations of radioelements in a flood plain of Crystalline Basement Complex are determined, with the aim of assessing the radiogenic heat produced in the study area. Ten soil samples are collected for analysis using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry technique from ACME Laboratories. The radiogenic heat contributions by each radioelement in the flood plain varied from 95.70 to 393.37 ρw/kg; 71.68 to 642.56 ρw/kg; and 0.0088 to 0.0188 ρw/kg for uranium, thorium and potassium respectively. However, the total radiogenic heat production varied from 167.39 to 1034.9 ρw/kg, with thorium being the major contributor to the total heat generated in the study area. Nine locations in the study area are characterized by Low Heat Potential (LHP), while the remaining one is characterized by Moderate Heat Potential. On average, the study area could be classified as LHP, which is in agreement with some of the studies in crystalline terrain of Nigeria.

    Bio- Agro Waste Valorization and its Sustainability in the Industry: A Review
    (International Conference on Engineering for Sustainable World (ICESW 2020), 2021-03) Afolalu, S. A.; Salawu, E.Y.; Ogedengbe, T.S.; Joseph, O. O.; Okwilagwe, Osise; Emetere, M. E.; Yusuf, O. O.; Noiki, A.A; Akinlabi, S.A
    The application of bio-agro waste in industrial production has become extensive. Many industries have embarked in large scale production due to the broadness in the application of the bio-agro waste. This study vividly and succinctly surveyed the different bio-agro waste, its areas of application and its sustainability in industrial production. Several examples of bio-agro waste have been reported. Their relevance in bio-ethanol production has equally been discussed. More so, current research and development in harnessing the bio-agro waste were equally reported, to achieve better economic sustainability. Thus, the study has provided a new circular economic method for addressing the problems associated with bio-agro waste.
