Valorization of greenhouse carbon dioxide emissions into value-added products by catalytic processes

Abstract: Complete oxidation or combustion of any carbon-based organic matter produces CO 2 , which is known to cause global warming and climate changes To mitigate the concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere various strategies have been implemented such as separation, storage, and valorization of CO 2 The focus of this review was on the catalytic processes of the chemistries involved in the conversion of CO 2 into value-added products The various valorization technologies which include conversion of CO 2 into fuel, valorization of CO 2 as a feedstock for chemicals were discussed Also, an overview regarding the challenges and opportunities for future research in CO 2 valorization was provided

Water Quality Assessment of Osun River: Studies on Inorganic Nutrients

Abstract: The present investigation provides data of some ions, namely Na+, Ca2+, NH4+, Cl-, NO3-, CN- and PO4(3-) on water samples of river Osun, selected rivers in the region and groundwaters. The pH, temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH) and total carbon (IV) oxide (TCO2) have also been determined to asses the chemical status and pollution levels of these water sources. The higher values of certain parameters with respect to the acceptable standard limits for drinking water indicate the pollution in both groundwater and river water samples of the study area, and make the waters unsuitable for various applications. The high pollution river water source showed higher levels of phosphate, nitrate and ammonium ions (P < 0.05). There is no significant difference (P < 0.05) between the mean concentrations of other inorganic nutrients in the high and low pollution water source types. The correlation coefficient between quality parameter pairs of river water and groundwater samples are determined and the significance of these parameters in both types of water sources are discussed.
