The increasing demand for cement due to urbanization growth in Africa countries may result in an upsurge of pollutants associated with its production. One major air pollutant in cement production is nitrogen oxides (NOx) and reported to cause serious damage to human health and the ecosystem. The operation of a cement rotary kiln NOx emission was studied with plant data using the ASPEN Plus software.

Incorporating chicken feather fibre (CFF) into natural based-nanocomposite comprising of glycerine plasticized-cassava starch binder with bentonite (BNT) as nanofiller, a thermal insulator (TIN) was synthesized. Central Composite Design (CCD) Response Surface Methodology was employed to carry out the experimental design using two factors (CFF and BNT) along with one response (thermal conductivity) to produce nine materials as insulators, comprising of 0%, 5%, and 10% BNT based on 8 g initial weight of CFF. A sample without CFF was used as the control.

The data in this article were obtained from a research designed to investigate the effects of choice of solvent, mixing speed, temperature and solvent to oil ratio on the treatment process of used lubricating oils using solvent extraction and adsorption method. Various data on the performance of the three solvents chosen were studied and compared based on certain parameters are presented and discussed. From the results obtained, it was observed that MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) had the best performance because it gave the highest sludge removal and closest properties to the fresh lubricating base stock.
