The primary goal of this study was to isolate hydrocarbon-degrading organisms and assess their ability to bioremediate petroleum-contaminated soil and water. Nigeria is one of the major oil producing countries and petroleum contamination is widespread in agricultural soil. Alcaligenes sp. strain 3k was isolated from a kerosene-polluted soil in Ilorin, Nigeria. We also assessed its ability to de...

Due to the increasing depletion of petroleum resources, production route non-oil-based aviation kerosene has been paid more and attention. In this regard, process preparing from syngas (CO H2) is one most promising industrial alternative fuel routes. The traditional syngas-to-aviation catalyst uses iron-based cobalt-based catalysts, which a complex with high cost. work, hierarchical Co/Beta met...

The surface integrity of machined components is considered to be an important part the quality matrix for high-performance applications in aviation industry. Therefore, close attention given made up hard-to-cut materials such as Ti6Al4V, which face processability challenges. In this regard, among non-conventional machining processes, electric discharge widely preferred cutting Ti6Al4V. study, p...

Methanolic extract of leaves of A. squamosa was tested for mosquitocidal effect against C. quinquefasciatus. A liquid mosquito insecticide formulation was prepared with the extract (1, 3 and 5 %w/w) using deodorized kerosene as solvent and investigated for its knock-down and 24 hr mortality. The extract formulation produced dose dependent activity, exhibited significantly shorter knock down KD5...

Ms M. a 13 years old class III student presented with one year history of petrol fumes inhalation dependence and six months history of kerosene inhalation dependence. She liked the smell of fumes getting pleasant feeling of well-being and increased confidence. She though fulfilled all the criteria of inherent dependence differed from typical cases described in published reports. Like male prepo...

Biochemical changes in the serum and liver of albino rats chronically exposed to rats administered 5gk , 7.5gk and 15gk of gasoline , kerosine and crude petroleum(bonny light) respectively were studied. The petroleum samples were administered intraperitoneally and the biochemical changes in the rat serum and the liver wree monitored over a three monthduration:Asparate amino transferase (AST) Al...
