This research investigates how the properties of the Nigerian crude residue can be improved on to enhance its local usage. Chemical treatment was carried out on Nigerian crude residue and its rheological properties were tested. The physiochemical propertiesspecific gravity cum viscosity measured after the treatment gave 12.44% improvement in specific gravity and 17.92 times improvement in visco...

Abstract—Soil samples were collected from and around Alkomos cement factory, Alkomos town, Libya. Soil physiochemical properties were determined. In addition, olive leaves were scanned for their fungal content. This work can conclude that the results obtained for the examined physiochemical characteristics of soil in the area studied prove that cement dust from the Alkomos cement factory in Lib...
