Distinguishing kaolinites and smectite clays from Central and Eastern Uganda using acidity, pH, colour and composition
Mukasa-Tebandeke, I.Z.; Ssebuwufu, P.J.M.; Nyanzi, S.A.; Schumann, A.; Ntale, M.; Nyakairu, G.W.; Lugolobi, F. (Scientific Research Publishing, 2015)The Langmuir isotherms of 1-aminobutane in isohexane slurries showed increase in clay acidity with increase in concentration of mineral acid used to leach the clay as well as the temperature at which the clay was thermally ... -
The elemental, mineralogical, IR, DTA and XRD analyses characterized clays and clay minerals of Central and Eastern Uganda
Mukasa-Tebandeke, I. Z.; Ssebuwufu, P.J.M.; Nyanzi, S.A.; Schumann, A.; Nyakairu, G.W.A.; Ntale, M.; Lugolobi, F. (Scientific Research Publishing, 2015)The results on the elemental and mineralogical compositions of clays from Central Uganda differed from those from the volcanic sediments of the Mt. Elgon in Eastern Uganda. Utilisation of the two types of clays should ... -
How variation of turbidity of bleached oils characterizes purity oil and bleaching processes
Mukasa-Tebandeke, I.Z.; Wasajja-Navayojo, Z.H.; Ssebuwufu, P.J.M.; Wasswa, J; Nankinga, R; Lugolobi, F; Schumann, A (ARC, 2017)Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms have always been developed using changes in absorbance of oils. In this study we have investigated use of changes in turbidity of oils to assess bleaching efficiency and develop Freundlich ... -
Upgrading and characterization of smectite from selected volcanic sediments of Eastern Uganda
Mukasa-Tebandeke, I.Z; Ssebuwufu, P.J.M.; Schumann, A.; Ntale, M; Lugolobi, F. (2015)Natural clays occur as mixtures of many clay minerals and remains of the rocks that underwent diagenesis to yield the clays. As weathering of clay soils never ceases it may not be possible to mine single clay minerals. The ... -
Using trace metals, peroxide, acid and iodine values to characterize oils bleached using clays from Central and Eastern Uganda
Mukasa-Tebandeke, I.Z.; Ssebuwufu, P.J.M.; Nyanzi, S.A.; Schumann, A.; Nyakairu, G.W.; Lugolobi, F. (2014)The decrease in content of iron in the bleached oils was highest for all oils bleached. The content of copper showed the smallest change. The decrease in copper content for palm oils decreased from 0.2ppm to 0.1ppm when ...
