Optimisation of Activated Carbon Production from Baobab Fruit Shells by Chemical Activation with Koh for the Removal of Phenol
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Activated carbons (ACs) were produced from baobab fruit shell (BFS) by varying the operating parameters of activation temperatures, activation times, and impregnation ratios using response surface methodology (RSM). Adsorption tests on an aqueous solution of phenol were used to determine the optimum conditions for BF-ACs produced and central compos

Biomechanical Analysis of Bone Graft Treated with Pasteurization or Cryotherapy Using Liquid Nitrogen: a Study Using Sheep Bone Model
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Osteosarcoma is a common primary malignancy of the bone. Osteosarcoma prognosis improves tremendously when chemotherapy is given in adjunct to surgical intervention. Limb reconstruction with sterilized autologous bone graft stabilized by orthopaedics implants has become a choice of treatment, but the biomechanical property of the bone treated with

Concrete Characteristics Modelling for Minimal Cost and Optimum Performance of Abuja Housing Infrastructures
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Abuja has experienced phenomenal infrastructural growth in the last two decades and concrete is at the heart of it. The cost of concrete has increased over the years due to the increased costs of its constituents like aggregates and cement. Many housing projects have slowed down due to the skyrocketing costs. A scientific approach in reducing concr

Statistical Optimization of Adsorption Processes for the Removal of Phenol by AC Derived from Baobab Fruit Shell
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Baobab fruit shell (BFS) biomass was used as an alternative precursor for producing high surface area and microporous baobab fruit shell activated carbon (BFS-AC) by chemical activation using KOH. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was performed for the characterization of baobab fruit shell activated carbon. The adsorption property of BFS-AC for t
