PHASE BEHAVIOUR OF L62 AND P104 IN WATER AND BENZYL ALCOHOL MIXTURES AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF L62, P104 and BRIJ-78 AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
The isothermal ternary phase and aggregation behaviour of amphiphilic co-polymer-water-benzyl alcohol systems was investigated for the two non-ionic surfactant systems: L-62 and P104 at 25 C. The phase boundaries were ...
SYNTHESIS, SPECTRAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL STUDIES OF HETEROBIMETALLIC COMPLEXES CONTAINING MOLYBDENUM (V) LINKED TO NICKEL AND COBALT SCHIFF BASE COMPLEXES
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
In this thesis, the synthesis, characterization and electrochemical studies of monometallic and bimetallic complexes of schiff base ligands have been undertaken. Synthesis of bimetallic complexes initially involved preparation ...
SOLID-STATE THERMAL DESOLVATION AND STRUCTURAL STUDIES OF OXALIC ACID DIHYDRATE, ZINC ACETATE DIHYDRATE, COPPER (II) SULFATE PENTAHYDRATE AND NICKEL (II) SULFATE HEXAHYDRATE
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
For many years it has been widely accepted that crystal dehydration can be related to internal crystal structure. However, there is very little empirical data or experiments on this work. This work makes an attempt to use ...
ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NEW COMPOUNDS FROM Strychnos henningsii AND THEIR ANTI-MALARIAL ACTIVITIES
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Traditional medicines play an important role in the management of common fever associated with malarial symptoms, particularly in the rural Africa. However, their potential use as sources of medicines has not been fully ...
INVESTIGATION OF POLLUTANT LEVELS AND EFFICIENCY OF HEAVY METAL REMOVAL USING BROWN ALGAE (Sargassum sp) BIOSORBENT: A CASE STUDY OF MIGORI RIVER, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
ABSTRACT
An increase in population initiating rapid industrialization has been found to consequently increase the effluents and domestic wastewater into the aquatic system. This has resulted in heavy metal pollution which ...
EFFECT OF LIMING ON LEVELS OF POLLUTANT HEAVY METALS IN SOILS AND THEIR UPTAKE BY MAIZE IN UASIN GISHU AND TRANS-NZOIA COUNTIES, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Soil contaminated with heavy metals from agricultural and industrial sources leads to unhealthy food. The metals enter the food chain and are consumed by humans. Phosphate fertilizers too contain undetermined amounts of ...
SYNTHESIS OF A PHENYLETHYLTHIOUREA DERIVATIVE AS A POTENTIAL NON-NUCLEOSIDE INHIBITOR OF HIV-1 REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
The emergence of resistant strains of HIV-1 towards existing drugs has prompted a search for new compounds with good antiviral activity and favourable toxicological profile. This work reports the synthesis of a PETT ...
SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIATIONS IN PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS, NUTRIENTS AND HEAVY METALS ALONG A GRADIENT OF ANTHROPOGENIC ACTIVITIES WITHIN KAPSABET RIVER, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Increased human activities have led to water pollution, especially metals and nutrients. Therefore, prudent management of aquatic environments require information on their quality status that can be estimated by monitoring ...
DETERMINATION OF DIFFUSION COEFFICIENTS OF FOOD ADDITIVES IN DIFFERENT MEDIA AT 25˚C
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Food additives play a vital role in today’s bountiful and nutritious food supply and their transportation in water is a diffusion process governed by Fickian diffusion laws. The study looks into the rate of diffusion of ...
ab-initio STUDIES OF MAGNESIUM HYDRIDE AND LITHIUM HYDRIDE FOR HYDROGEN STORAGE APPLICATIONS: A DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY STUDY
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Due to the imminent exhaustion of fossil fuels, related pollution and high cost involved
in conventional sources of energy, a search for renewable, environmentally
friendly, cheaper and more e cient energy sources has ...
