This paper investigated the possibility of using clay characterization as a major tool to
predict its suitability for bleaching of vegetable oil, namely, palm oil. The clay sample …

In this work, a strategy was used to combine Mg (OH) 2 nanoparticles (MDH), the bentonite
nano‐sheets, and melamine cyanurate (MC) to prepare dioctyl phthalate (DOP) plasticized …

The kinetics of colour pigment removal from palm oil using acid activated clay from Nteje has
been investigated. To determine the equilibrium adsorption capacity, the effects of …

The performance of raw Ceiba pentandra (L.) Gaertn (raw kapok fibers (RKF)) for oil sorption
and palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment was compared with structurally modified kapok …

Background Transfer of pesticides from environment to animal products is inevitable, so the
purpose of the present work was to evaluate phosalone consumption via feeding with or …

Kirfi Kaolin clay sample obtained from Kirfi village in Bauchi state, Nigeria using sulfuric
acid. The raw clay and the prepared adsorbents were characterized for their physical …

The bentonite was treated in different ways and the changes in structure were monitored.
Acid activation with sulphuric acid of investigated bentonite caused the increase in specific …

The aim of this study was to investigate the optimum operating process parameters during
the adsorption of color pigments from palm oil onto activated Ukpor clay using Response …

High cost of importation of bleaching earths has necessitated for their alternative source
from locally abundant clay minerals. Ukpor clay was chosen due to its abundant nature. It …

The physicochemical properties of Ughelli bentonite was modified by nitric acid activation to
improve its performance. The bentonite mineral was reacted with different concentrations of …
