TL;DR: In this article, some recent synthetic methods for the preparation of MOFs are discussed, especially those that are applicable to CO2 adsorption, with a view to addressing some of the challenges faced by the current technology of CO2 conversion which tend to be very energy intensive processes with high level of waste emission and cost.
Abstract: Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have received special attention in recent years as a result of their attractive and unique properties such as structure flexibility, high surface area, tunable pore size and functionalizable organic linkers and metal centres which have led to vast array of promising applications. Their properties can be improved to further enhance their performance by functionalization of the organic linkers, postsyntheic modification, and doping of nanomaterials into their frameworks. In this review, some recent synthetic methods for the preparation of MOFs are discussed, especially those that are applicable to CO2 adsorption. The second part of this paper discusses the applications of MOFs as heterogeneous catalyst for various CO2 conversion processes, with a view to address some of the challenges faced by the current technology of CO2 conversion which tend to be very energy intensive processes with high level of waste emission and cost. The current state of MOF commercialization for niche markets is also discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the concentrations of heavy metals were determined in roadside soil and grass from different locations in Ibadan metropolis and two highways and the levels found (in μg g−1) were: Cr - 20.6-104; Mn - 86.2-355; Fe - 1737-4455; Ni - 10.9-115; Cu - 8.94-80.5; Zn - 43.5-213; Cd - 0.18-2.70; and Pb - 205-730.

TL;DR: In-vivo assays showed that twice-daily administration of J. regia L. leaf resulted in weight gain, glycaemic control, reversal of dyslipidaemia and biochemical evidences of liver/kidney injury, and protection against pancreas, liver and kidney tissue injury.

TL;DR: An assessment of the potential availability of selected residues from maize, cassava, millet, plantain, groundnuts, sorghum, oil palm, palm kernel, and cowpeas for possible conversion to renewable energy in Nigeria has been made.
Abstract: An assessment of the potential availability of selected residues from maize, cassava, millet, plantain, groundnuts, sorghum, oil palm, palm kernel, and cowpeas for possible conversion to renewable energy in Nigeria has been made. It is estimated that nearly 58 million tonnes of these residues were potentially available in the year 2004 with energy potential of about 20.8 million tonnes oil equivalents. The residue availability for 2010 is projected to be about 80 million tonnes. These residues, when converted to energetically usable forms, can substitute or complement the fossil energy sources in Nigeria by more than 80%.
