SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION OF SURFACTANT AND BIODIESEL FROM SESAME OIL
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
The search for alternative biodegradable and sustainable raw materials from renewable sources for industrial chemicals to replace the depleted commercially available petrochemicals raw materials has become an area of great ...
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 ...
BIOSORPTION OF SELECTED HEAVY METAL IONS FROM TEST SOLUTIONS USING GREEN ALGAE BIOSORBENT
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
Human activities such as agricultural and industrial operations have led to the accumulation of pollutants for example, heavy metals in the environment since they do not break down. When this occurs over a long period of ...
THE EFFECTS OF AMENDED MOLASSES WASTEWATER ON THE GROWTH PROGRESS, NUTRITION AND YIELD OF Capsicuum annuum ON ACIDIC SOILS OF KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
Little research work has been done especially on increasing effects of soil acidity on crop production due to long periods of chemical fertilizer use in North Rift region especially Uasin Gishu and Nandi Counties. Moreover, ...
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 ...
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF ATTRACTIVE BLENDS IN SELECTED OCIMUM SPECIES TRADITIONALLY USED TO LURE HONEY BEES
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
The success of sustainable beekeeping depends on possibility of establishing a bee colony. Low hive occupation rate has been identified as one of the prominent challenges facing beekeeping sector in addition to pest attacks, ...
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 ...
DETERMINATION OF LEVELS OF AFLATOXIN IN MAIZE SAMPLES: A CASE STUDY OF UASIN GISHU COUNTY
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
The determination of levels of aflatoxins was done in Uasin Gishu County Kenya. Aflatoxins are compound produced by the two fungi; aspergillus flavus and aspergillus parasiticus. The main aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 have ...
