Fabrication and Characterisation of Aluminium Alloy/Rice Husk Ash Composites for Lightweight Automobile Wheels

Adamu M. A^*, Mijinyawa A. A, Hassan U, Okafor C. A, Abdullahi M. B

This study focuses on the development of an aluminium alloy composite reinforced with rice husk ash (RHA) for automobile wheel applications. Aluminium piston scrap was used as the base matrix, and RHA was introduced at 5%, 10%, and 15% weight fractions using the stir-casting method. The produced composites were subjected to hardness, tensile streng...

Investigation into the Bating Potential of Musa Accuminata (Banana) Peel in the Production of Leather

Bulus Habila^*, Tashi Umar Tijjani, Saidu Simon Moses, Uwanta Emaime Jimmy, Gaiya Jonathan Danladi, Shekarri Ninnas Tachye, Muazu Balarabe Babangida, Salim Ahmed Sule, Igbehinadun Olajide J., Adamu M. A

Increasing environmental pressures are forcing tanneries to reduce the level of nitrogenous compounds in generated effluents, due to strict regulations on effluent quality from various unit processes which bating plays a vital role. Bating imparts smoothness and stretchy effect to the resultant leather with the addition of proteolytic enzymes which...
