Effect of kaolin pre-treatment method and NaOH levels on the structure and properties of kaolin-derived faujasite zeolites (2021)
Journal Article
Otieno, S., Kowenje, C., Kengara, F., & Mokaya, R. (2021). Effect of kaolin pre-treatment method and NaOH levels on the structure and properties of kaolin-derived faujasite zeolites. Materials Advances, 2(18), 5997-6010. https://doi.org/10.1039/d1ma00449b

Fusion with NaOH is considered effective in the conversion of kaolin to soluble aluminosilicates. However, to date, there is no consistency in the nature and type of zeolite structures prepared from kaolin via this approach, suggesting a lack of clar...

A Co-Crystallised Cobalt(II) Cluster of Pyridinedicarboxylic Acid (PDC) as a Luminescent Material for Selective Sensing of Methanol. Journal of Fluorescence, 31(4), 1177-1190. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10895-021-02746-9

A luminescent Cobalt(II) co-crystal [Co13(PDC)16(H2O)24.7H2O] 1 (where H2PDC = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid) have been prepared by oven-heating and slow evaporation of solvent. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis revealed that 1 is a m...

Potential of Bioenergy in Rural Ghana (2021)
Journal Article
Nelson, N., Darkwa, J., Calautit, J., Worall, M., Mokaya, R., Adjei, E., …Ahiekpor, J. (2021). Potential of Bioenergy in Rural Ghana. Sustainability, 13(1), Article 381. https://doi.org/10.3390/su13010381

Crop residues are common in rural Ghana due to the predominant role agriculture plays in livelihood activities in these communities. In this paper we investigate the prospects of exploiting agricultural crop residues for rural development in Ghana th... Read More about Potential of Bioenergy in Rural Ghana.
