    This study investigates the densification of sawdust from a mahogany tree (Khaya ivorensis) into briquettes for energy applications. The researchers used starch as a binder and four blends of sawdust and starch were prepared with varying proportions of the starch (60 - 75 g) while the mass of sawdust was constant at 60 g. The results showed that the 70 g starch binder briquette had the highest dry density (0.77 g/cm3) and water resistance (33.36%), while the 60 g binder briquette had the highest impact resistance index (250) and drop-to-fracture (15). The 65 g starch binder briquette had the highest compressive strength (519.7 kPa). The dry density and water resistance of briquettes increase with the increase in binder content, while impact resistance decreases. The briquettes can withstand adverse transportation and storage conditions. This research highlights the potential of woody biomass briquettes for energy applications.

    Management of waste materials is a serious concern to researchers and scientists. Waste materials cause health and environmental hazards. Hence, they should be properly managed. The aim of this study is to develop a grinding disc using agricultural wastes (palm kernel shell and snail shell), granite, aluminium oxide, and polyester resin. The particles of snail shell, palm kernel shell, aluminium oxide (abrasive) and granite (friction modifier) were measured in percentages varying between 8 - 29 wt. % and were mixed with 27 wt. % polyester resin (binder), 3 wt. % methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (hardener) and 3 wt. % cobalt naphthalene (accelerator) to produce a grinding disc. The micrograph, hardness, wear rate, and water absorption tests were carried out on the grinding disc samples. The result showed that the composition with the highest palm kernel shell particle content (29 wt. %) had the best values for hardness and wear resistance, making it the most suitable material for grinding discs. The environmentally-friendly palm kernel shell-based discs could be used for soft metals, wood grinding and finishing processes.

    IEEE
    This research looks into designing and developing a wireless eight-legged walking robot that can traverse all terrain using the Klann mechanism. The Klann mechanism is beneficial for advanced walking vehicles. It can travel in areas that are currently not accessible with wheels. The most crucial benefit of this mechanism is that it does not require many actuators. In this mechanism, pivot joints of the interconnected links convert the rotating motion of the crank into the movement of the foot, similar to that of animal walking. At the end of this work, a wireless walking robot was developed with a communication range of 10 m to 100 m, stride length of 90 mm (75% of the proposed length), approximate speed of 1 stride/s, and 92 % step height. In addition, the robot could move in all directions on even and uneven terrains. The results have shown that this wireless walking robot can find applications in national emergency services, military intelligence work, and other areas of national interest without terrain restriction.

    IEEE
    Slider-crank mechanism (SCM) was developed with digital read-outs in this study to make the reading of experimental results more accurate. They are connected by joints and force elements for the conversion of reciprocating motion into rotary motion or vice-versa. A digital protractor (accuracy = ±0.2) and a digital vernier caliper (accuracy = +0.02 mm) were incorporated as the crank and the slider respectively, while a stainless-steel plate was made the connecting link. The deviation of the slider (displacement) values from the corresponding theoretical values at various angles was determined. The simple harmonic ratio of the analogue mechanism is higher than that of the digital mechanism but the deviations of the slider (displacement) values of the digital mechanism from the theoretical values are quite negligible. The deviations of the analogue system from its corresponding theoretical values are far higher. Based on the result obtained, the digital system is more precise and accurate for experimental studies than the analogue system.

    SciCell
    The use of natural particles as reinforcement in polymers has been a growing research area. This study aims to explore the use of cassava back peel (CCBP) and iron-fillings (IF), as reinforcement material in epoxy resin-based composite. Composite plates were prepared for the casting of the epoxy resin reinforced with CCBP and IF composites using a hand lay-up technique. The percentage compositions by weight of the CCBP varied between 0%-10 %, while that of IF was kept constant (5%). The physico-mechanical behaviours of CCBP-reinforced epoxy polymer composites were studied using ASTM standards. The density of the epoxy resin was improved by the reinforcements. The maximum density obtained was 1270 kg/cm3 for 5%CCBP epoxy composite. The percentage of water absorption improved by the addition of the filler with 5%IF10CCBP epoxy hybrid composite recording 30% water absorption. Conversely, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and breaking strength (BS) varied with the addition of the filler materials. 5%CCBP epoxy composite recorded 41.26 MPa for both UTS and BS. Meanwhile, percentage elongation decreased with the addition of the fillers showing that the composites became less ductile. The HBN of epoxy was improved with the addition of fillers. The composites can be applied to automobile dashboards.

    EDP Sciences
    Hydroxyapatite (HAp) production from eggshells for dental implant purposes involved a novel approach utilizing a wet chemical precipitation technique. The eggshells, finely ground to a size below 250 µm, underwent calcination at a high temperature of 900°C for 2 hours. This thermal treatment facilitated the conversion of calcium carbonate into calcium oxide (CaO) while eliminating any organic components in the eggshell. To initiate the synthesis of HAp, a solution comprising 0.6 M phosphoric acid was added to the CaO dispersed in water. The resulting mixture was allowed to undergo aging at different time intervals ranging from 0 to 24 hours, promoting the formation of HAp. Subsequently, the HAp particles were oven-dried at 100°C for 2 hours to remove residual moisture. Finally, the dried particles were sintered at 1200°C in a muffle furnace to achieve the desired properties for dental implant applications. XRD peaks at 25, 33, 40, and 50° confirm the synthesized material as HAp. Vibrational modes of phosphate (PO43-), hydroxyl (OH-), and carbonate (CO32-) groups indicate carbonated HAp. Synthesized HAp holds potential for biomedical applications.

    The overwhelming cost of conventional lubricants has instigated the need for alternatives in the engineering industry. This study identified the physicochemical properties of Shea butter made from the shea nut and their application as a bio-grease in the food processing and industrial sectors. Some preliminary tests were conducted to ascertain the combination of materials that will produce grease with the right consistency as the commercial product. Results on its physicochemical properties showed that shea butter was suitable for use as lube base oil. Best bio-grease was obtained with mass combinations of 80.0 g of Shea butter, 0.5 g of resin, 1.0 g of P.K.O, 1.5 g of calcium hydroxide, 8 g of stearic acid, 1.5 g of silicate, 1.5 g of sodium carbonate, 4 g of biochar, and 2 g of cellulose. The physicochemical properties observed were evaporation loss (1.2%), ash content (4%), moisture content (0%), flash point (146.5℃), fire point (155℃), pour point (25.9℃), and density (0.97 g/cm3). Most of the properties of the bio-grease were found to be comparable with conventional grease. In addition, since the bio-grease was produced from majorly edible sources and based on its properties, it could be classified as H3 food-grade grease.

    Adekunle Adeleke, Jamiu Odusote, Peter Ikubanni, and Abdullahi Lawal
    IEEE
    Aluminium matrix composite has been a subject of consideration and research by numerous researchers due to the expanding need for improved AMCs in the production and engineering field. However, due to their low strength, conventional aluminium cannot satisfy the demand of the modern industry. Hence, particulate reinforcement is required to enhance its physical and mechanical properties. This study analyzed the physicomechanical properties of A16063 reinforced with different weight fraction (2%, 4%, and 6%) of incinerated waste cardboard paper ash via the stir casting method. Properties such as density, percentage porosity, hardness and tensile test were compared to the unreinforced Al 6063. Results showed that the percentage porosity, hardness and tensile strength of the reinforced composites increased as the weight fractions of the reinforcement increased, while the density of the composites reduced as compared to the unreinforced matrix. The physicomechanical properties of the A16063 reinforced with incinerated waste cardboard paper ash reinforced Al 6063 suggested that they are suitable for utilization in lightweight engineering application.

    SciCell
    Composite are multi-phase materials made up of matrix and reinforcement. This paper assesses the tribological property of Al6063 alloy (AMCs) reinforced with Okaba coal ash (OCA) using the stir casting method. By using a constant speed of 1000 rpm and two different loads (250 g and 750 g) on Taber wear apparatus, the tribological properties of the produced composite are contrasted with those of an unreinforced Al6063 alloy. The results show a reduction in wear index and the highest abrasion resistance at 4 wt.% coal ash at 500 g and 1000 rpm, as well as at 0, 2, and 6 wt.% with 8.688, 5.878, and 5.813 at 500g and 8.688, 5.878, 4.125, and 5.813 at 750g, respectively. Therefore, for all composite products compared to metal, there is an increase in abrasion resistance with a decrease in wear index, but this decreases when the load is increased to 750g, showing that the higher the load, the higher the wear index, which results in a reduction in abrasion resistance. Load is taken into greater consideration when using the AMCs manufactured in engineering applications. Additionally, SEM images revealed uniform distribution of the OCA reinforcement in the matrix alloy; thereby, improving its wear resistance.

    Springer Science and Business Media LLC
    AbstractThe use of inorganic binder for briquetting of subbituminous coal and torrefied biomass for energy generation is scarce. The present study focuses on the physicomechanical durability and energy content of briquettes produced from subbituminous coal (SubC) and torrefied biomass (TM) using bentonite as binder. Briquettes were produced using 95% SubC and 5% TM. Bentonite was varied at 2–10% of the total SubC and TM weight. The briquettes were produced with a constant pressure (28 MPa) in a hydraulic press. The briquettes were primarily cured at room temperature and then at 300 $$^\\circ{\\rm C}$$ ∘ C in a tubular furnace under an inert condition for 60 min. The density and water resistance (WRI) of the briquettes were evaluated. Drop to fracture (DF), impact resistance index (IRI), cold crushing strength (CCS) and tumbling strength index (TSI+3 mm) of the briquette were obtained. The reactivity index (RI), proximate, ultimate and calorific values analyses were assessed based on different ASTM standards. Microstructural studies and elemental mapping were carried out using scanning electron microscope equipped with EDS and electron probe microanalyzer. The density increased with increment in bentonite content. The WRI decreased with increase in bentonite while the least (95.21%) was obtained at 10% binder content. The DF and IRI ranges from 100 to 150 and 2000–3000, respectively. The CCS were in the range of 19.71 to 40.23 MPa. The RI varies from 34 to 50%. Fixed carbon, carbon and calorific values were impaired as the bentonite content in the briquette increases. Oxygen and silica bridges with mechanical interlocking were observed on the micrographs of the briquettes. The briquettes produced with 2% bentonite content have better physicomechanical durability with equivalent energy content. It is recommended as feedstock for thermal and metallurgical applications.

    Teak wood is one of the prominently used raw material in the construction industry, thus contributing extremely to the biomass waste available in Nigeria. These wastes are usually used for energy generation that requires upgrade into better fuel before application. Hence, the present study evaluates the non-isothermal kinetic parameters for pyrolysis of teak wood using model-fitting techniques. Teak wood dust was subjected to proximate, ultimate and calorific value analyses based on different ASTM standards. The thermal degradation and decomposition behaviour of the teak wood dust was examined using a thermogravimetric analyzer. Pulverized teak (6.5 mg) was heated from 30 to 800 ºC at varying heating rates (5, 10 and 15 ºC) in an environment where 100 mL/min of nitrogen gas was charged in continuously to maintain an inert condition. Avrami-Erofeev, Ginstling-Broushtein (GB) and Mampel models were used to evaluate the kinetic parameters of the pyrolysis of teak wood dust. The teak wood dust contained 7.25 % moisture, 79.26 % volatile matter (VM), 1.74 % ash and 11.75 % fixed carbon. The calorific value of the wood dust was 18.72 MJ/kg. The results of the thermogravimetric analyses depicted that heating rate has no effect on weight loss during the reactive drying zone. However, as the thermal treatment progressed into the active pyrolysis and passive pyrolysis zones, the weight loss decreased with increase in heating rate.  The devolatilization parameters also increased with heating rates except for the maximum conversion. The results of the kinetic parameters evaluation revealed that the GB model was best fit to evaluate the kinetic parameters of teak in the active pyrolysis zone while GB and Mampel models were considered most appropriate for the evaluation of the kinetic parameters in the passive pyrolysis zone. Model-fitting method has the capacity to capture a wide range of fractional conversion at a glance.
 HIGHLIGHTS
 
 Arrhenius parameters in terms of activation energy and pre-exponential factor for the pyrolysis of teak wood while comparing 4 different model-fitting techniques were obtained
 The α-temperature plot for solid state reaction of teak wood dust was a bell-shape (sigmoidal model)
 The Avrami-Erofeev and SSS models were unable to capture the overlapping multiple reactions that took place simultaneously at the active pyrolysis zone
 Higher energy input is needed for devolatilization of teak wood dust to give 10 - 80 % conversion due to higher activation energy at the active pyrolysis zone
 Ginstling-Broushtein was found to be the best model for evaluating the kinetic parameters at the active pyrolysis zone as it had the highest R2 value
