Article Synopsis
- The review examines how Arachis hypogaea (groundnut) residues can be transformed into valuable products like biofuels and nanomaterials through methods such as pyrolysis and gasification.
- Optimization techniques like Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have significantly improved the yields of these bioproducts.
- The study highlights the environmental and economic advantages of valorizing groundnut residues and calls for supportive policies and further research to enhance sustainability in utilizing these resources.
SD-Bioline malaria rapid diagnostic test performance and time to become negative after treatment of malaria infection in Southwest Nigerian Children.
Ann Afr Med
February 2024
Context And Aim: Given the challenges of microscopy, we compared its performance with SD-Bioline malaria rapid diagnostic test (MRDT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and evaluated the time it took for positive results to become negative after treatment of children with acute uncomplicated malaria.
Subjects And Methods: We present the report of 485 participants with complete MRDT, microscopy, and PCR data out of 511 febrile children aged 3-59 months who participated in a cohort study over a 12-month period in rural and urban areas of Ibadan, Nigeria. MRDT-positive children received antimalaria and tested at every visit over 28 days.
Bio-sorptive remediation of crude oil polluted sea water using plantain () leaves as bio-based sorbent: Parametric optimization by Taguchi technique, equilibrium isotherm and kinetic modelling studies.
Heliyon
November 2023
This study investigated the potential of employing plantain leaves as a natural bio-based sorbent for crude oil spill polluted seawater remediation. Type L(3) Taguchi orthogonal array technique was used to evaluate the effect of four independent bio-sorption factors at three different levels (crude oil initial concentration (X 7.8, 11.

Therefore, this study incorporates zirconium ferrite (ZrFeO) into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) to form ZrFeO@ZIF-8. The ZrFeO@ZIF-8 is a photocatalyst for removing dopamine (DOP) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from an aqueous solution.
