Experimental and Computational Studies of Terminalia Catappa Exudate and its Corrosion Inhibition Potential for Improvised Implant for Medical Application

Abstract  Conventional weight loss and thermometric have investigated the inhibitory efficiency of Terminalia catappa on the  corrosion of improvised metallic implants. The improvised metallic implant from the fan guard can be employed as a  short-time profile implant item for the purpose of implantation and fixation in animals after a comparative ...

Determination of the physicochemical properties and radiation health hazard indices of ‘Nzu clay’ obtained from Azonogogo, Delta State and Uzella River in Edo State, Nigeria

Omoniyi K. I.*, Abechi S. E., Akpa R. U.

The studies investigate the physicochemical properties and concentration of radioactive elements present in the geophagious ‘Nzu clay’ samples obtained from Azonogogo, Delta State and Uzella River, Owan West LGA, Edo State. The mineral composition of the clay samples were investigated using XRD while the radioactive elements were determined by u...

An assessment of the metals accumulated in newly weaned mice after ingesting ‘Nzu clay’ using neutron activation analysis and atomic absorption spectroscopy

Omoniyi K. I.*, OKUNOLA O. J

Nzu clay’ is a geophagious clay consumed in Africa for some medicinal purposes. This study reports the level of accumulated metals in mice that ingested ‘Nzu clay’ for 14 days. Eight female mice (10 ± 2 g) were each fed 0.02 g of ‘Nzu’ mixed with Bendel Plc Feed per day. The ‘Nzu clay’ contained 2.900 mg/kg Pb and 2.143 mg/kg Cd, while the exper...

Physicochemical properties of terminalia avicennioides (ta) and anogeissus latifolia (al) gum

Omoniyi K. I.*, AMEH P. O, USMAN U

The work reports the physicochemical properties of gum exudates from two Combretaceae tree species (Terminalia avicennioides (TA) and Anogeissus latifolia (AL)) determined by standard methods. The gum exudates exhibited differences in physicochemical qualities. The physicochemical properties of the gum were in the following ranges: moisture (11....
