ASSESSMENT OF CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) LEVEL IN ENUGU METROPOLIS MONITORING INDUSTRIAL AND RESIDENTIAL AREA

ABSTRACT Air pollutions pollutant showed that the extent of spreading depends on the motor vehicle traffic population of the area. This pollution strongly generated through combustion of fossil fuels presents difficult environmental challenge to societies as it could degrade the environment and affect human health and quality of life. Vehicular emissions are major contributors to air pollution in urban areas as they contain harmful gases. The levels of carbon monoxide has been investigated in...

PRODUCTION OF A HIGH QUALITY BAR SOAP AND COMPARE WITH DETERGENT.

ABSTRACT. The sole aim of this research work is to produce a high quality of bar soaps and compare with detergent. The major aspects of this projects deals with quality control processes in the production of a high quality bar soaps. In soap production, cold process was used and this was found out to be the most effective means of production considering several factors. In the production of bar soaps, palm kernel oil was used instead of fallow or grease. This is because palm kernel has a low...

PRODUCTION OF EMULSION POINT WITH THE AVAILABLE MATERIAL

ABSTRACT This project is on the production of paint from the available materials.  The first process involved was the sourcing of the available material which include calcium carbonate (dotonute) water etc.  the next step is the proper production procedure.  The  same product patterns was employed while the production was valued with a view to obtain a high quality paint.From the result obtained, it was observed that high quality paint was produced in production category C(3), consisting ...

PRODUCTION OF LOQUID AND VAPOURIZED PERFUME

ABSTRACT This research project was carried out principally for the production of liquid and vapourized perfumes from local raw materials.  The local raw material were subjected to various processing conditions in order to obtain purified perfume.  The methods generally used in this work include expression steam distillation and solvent extraction. During the production of vapourized and liquid perfume the modern solvent for blending and holding perfume materials is highly refined ethanol m...

ALTERNATIVE RAW MATERIAL SOURES FOR CEMENT PRODUCTION

ABSTRACT It is generally known that cement id produced from limestone, mar/clay and gypsum by the following three basic process- wet semi- wet aid dry process. The cost of exploiting the limestone: the major raw material constitute about 50% of the production cost which results in the high cost of cement.  It therefore becomes imperative to bring down the cost of cement by investigating into alternative source of raw material for cement production and hence this project. From literature, r...

PRODUCTION OF CASSAVA OF STARCH FROM CASSAVA

ABSTRACT The fresh cassava were sources from Idodo in Nkanu Local Government of Enugu state. The weight of the cassava tuber were taken to be 31.50kg. After peeling and washing, it was divided into two equal parts which was 21.13kg for production of sample A and sample B respectively (edible and textile starch) which weighed 13.1kg. During this process, the temperature were obtained at 700c (617.4R). And the other properties of the cassava samples were carried out, such as moisture content o...

FORMULATION OF ARTIST PAINT

ABSTRACT  This study was carried out principally for the formulation of artist paint using available raw materials. Paint simplified is a material which may be applied to surfaces in relatively thin layers and which changes to a solid and may occur by evaporation of solvents, by chemical reaction or by combination of the two. Artist paint is the paint used by artists to do their paintings. These paints comprises of the water color paint, poster color paint, oil paint, acrylic paint and so on...

REFINING OF VEGETABLE OIL WITH ENUGU COAL

ABSTRACT This project was carried out using acid activated coal from Enugu coal and the production of ve4getablew oil was monitored using spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance. It was also perform to check the suitability of activated Enugu coal as a bleaching agent for palm oil. The Enugu coal samples were collected, size reduced, carbonized and activated with acid (phosphoric Acid) before being used for the bleaching process. The bleaching process lasted for 40minutes and it was absor...

CONSTRUCTION OF A STELL CUPBOARD

ABSTRACT The aim of this project was to construct a steel cupboard in order to help us acquire the knowledge of fabrication of a modern cupboard and the essence of it. Also to enable us (the students of chemical Engineering) to know how to construct as future engineers. The construction of steel cupboard was done using a square pipe of 1.5mm thickness and the mild steel having a thickness of 1.5mm. it was mark out cut, welded, filled and painted. The  cupboard has length and height of 1150mm...

THE CONSTRUCTION OF SIEVE EQUIPMENT

ABSTRACT The sets of seizes with shocker which was fabricated and assembled in the chemical engineering pilot plant was aimed at providing the students with a machine that will aid them in practical involving the separation of solid particles. Besides this, it was also fabricated sizes or diameter of the solid particles of a substance by allowing it pass through the pores or aperture of the sieve plates. The process of operation involved the following: marking out of the sieve plate using di...

CONSTRUCTION OF PACKED DISTILLATION COLUMN

ABSTRACT This is an abstract on the construction of a packed distillation column. A packed distillation column is used in the separating process distillation that is the separation of two miscible liquids.  It was constructed by marking out the dimension of the column, condenser, pot, using steel rule scriber, oxyacetylene flame was used for cutting after which the work piece were center punched and drilled using the drilling machine. At last they were folded, shaped, welded tested, finishe...

THE FABRICATION FOR A SET OF SIEVES AND SAKER

ABSRACT The fabrication of a set of sieves and shaker was carried out in paliton workshop, Enugu. After a thorough analysis on the suitable materials to be used in fabrication, galvanized steel was chosen due to its advantages over materials of fabrication. The fabrication was carried out in order to analyze the sizes of particles. The component parts of the sets of sieve and their dimensions are as follows: Height of sieve 5.5cm Number of sieves 7 Diameter of sieve 13.5cm Shape of sieve cir...

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A WINDOW BASED FRONT-DESK INFORMATION SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF MAY FRESH SAVINGS AND LOAN LIMITED ONITSHA

ABSTRACT In account form analysis, a lot of discrepancies causes by manual aspect of the form such as: lost of form, inability to correct intakes, poor storage facilities have been a problem in the May fresh savings and loan limited account form. But in recent times, the computer has come to the aid of our banks, May fresh in particular.  The introduction of computer into the banking operation has to a great extent affected the mode of operation of banks in diverse ways. Computer has touche...

CONSTRUCTION OF TABLE TOP LIQUIDLIQUID EXTRACTION UNIT

ABSTRACT A table top liquid-liquid extraction unit was constructed.  The project also involved the repair and servicing of peristaltic suction pump, by painting it, replacing the connecting cord to the power supply, refilling of the work out suction plates, teeth and general servicing of the equipment.  The glass absorption columns were provided as well as two yards length of transparent, soft, translucent synthetic chemical rubber (hose).  The two ends of the pipe were connected to glass ...

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A REFRIGERATING UNIT

ABSTRACT The design and construction of s refrigerating unit is handled from the knowledge of the working principles of laws of thermodynamics. The size of the containing vessel i.e the case as established to be of 45cm by 32 cm in dimension. The Angle iron mild steel to used in the fabrication and welding.
