MACRO MINERALS CONTENTS OF RIND (SKIN) OF JACKFRUIT

DETERMINATION OF THE MACRO MINERALS CONTENTS OF RIND (SKIN, PEEL) OF JACKFRUIT (Artocarpus heterophyllus)

ABSTRACT Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is the largest known edible fruit which utilized parts are the bulb and seed while unutilized parts are the peels, core, and fibre. It weighs about 3.5-10kg and sometimes up to 25kg. The analysis of macro-mineral of jackfruit was carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. From the result, it was observed […]

CORROSION INHIBITIVE POTENTIAL OF ALLOXAZINE

CORROSION INHIBITIVE POTENTIAL OF ALLOXAZINE +KI ON MILD STEEL IN ACIDIC MEDIA

ABSTRACT The inhibition of mild steel in 0.1M HCl solution using gravimetric method. The result obtained showed that alloxazine +KI is a good inhibitive of mild steel corrosion in HCl solution. The inhibition efficiency increased by 49% with increase in the inhibitor concentration of 10 x104MmKI. Physical absorption has been proposed for the absorption of
