CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Biofuel is the name given to fuel for Diesel engines created by the chemical conversion of animal fats or vegetable oils. Pure vegetable oil works well as a fuel for Diesel engines itself, as Rudolf Diesel demonstrated in his engine at the 1900 world’s fair with peanut oil as the fuel. The United State Fuelling stations make biodiesel readily available to consumers across Europe and increasingly in the USA and Canada. This is an indication that biodiesel can operates in compression
pellets), or liquids (e.g. ethanol, biodiesel, butanol, pyrolysis oils and bio-oil), or gases (e.g. biogas, synthesis gas, methane and hydrogen) (Nigam & Singh, 2011). The secondary biofuels can be segregated into first, second and third-generation biofuels based on the substrate availability, technology maturity and GHG gas emission balance. (Bharathidasan et al. 2011). Research has provided more progressive and productive conversion technologies for the extraction of biofuels in solid, liquid and gaseous
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), fuel oil, gasoline, kerosene and the like. These products are highly consumed by humans. Reports revealed that people staggered almost 90 million barrels of petroleum every day (Adair, 2015). The over-extraction and over-used of rock-oil have caused negative effects and damaged the Earth’s biosphere that resulted in the pollution of air, land, and water that contribute to climate change. Although there is a newly-alternative fossil fuel that is formed from natural processes
The oil spill is a term use to describe a form of pollution. The term can also be applied to marine oil spills that refer to the release of the petroleum-related products into the sea/ocean or coastal waters. Oils spills include the release of petroleum-related product from offshore platforms, tankers, drilling wells and rigs. Also, spill of refined petroleum related products such as petrol, diesel, gasoline and their by-products. Petroleum by-products
extracts of purified bioactive components. Since nutraceuticals have broad application areas in various fields, it creates unlimited scope for exploring them in research. The undisputed efficacy of phytochemicals has drawn attention towards their extraction and separation from their natural origin to derive drugs. Table 1.1 gives a representative list of natural products and their therapeutic

Nigeria is basically an agrarian society with the largest percentage of the populace living in the rural areas. A great proportion of the farming population especially in the northern part of the country depends on animal agriculture with ruminant production very predominant. Ruminants that comprises of sheep, goats and cattle, are largely reared by farm families in the country’s agricultural system. Nigeria has population of 34.5million goats, 22.1million sheep and 13.9million cattle (Lawal-Adebowale
Literature Review History Tuberculosis, a disease caused by several species of mycobacteria that are spread from person to person through the air. It has plagued humankind for many thousands of years. TB usually attacks the lungs, but it can also attack and damage any part of the body, such as the brain, kidneys, or spine. It is a worldwide disease and in many countries is a major cause of death. After declining in incidence for a number of years, it has begun to increase in frequency, especially
