Research:
(a) Completed:
(i)
Determination of levels of toxic metals in environmental samples:
I have in collaboration with others completed the determination of levels
of selected toxic metals in various environmental samples such as soil,
water, plants and fishes. Results from these studies have been published in
papers 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.
(ii)
Preparation and use of a novel hybrid biosorbent in adsorption studies:
I have also in collaboration with others completed the preparation of a
novel hybrid biosorbent (defatted Carica papaya seeds) and the subsequent
use of it in adsorption studies to remove toxic metals and methylene blue
dye from simulated wastewater. The results have also been published as
shown in papers 4 and 6.
(iii)
Studies on ‘waste-to-wealth initiative’ success stories:
I have also worked with others on ‘waste – to- wealth initiative’ success
stories. The two major achievements were on characterization and
recycling of waste auto-battery manufacturing slag in burnt building bricks
and recycling of waste defatted Carica papaya seeds biosorbent also in
burnt building bricks. The outcomes have been published in papers 8 and
10.
(iv)
Characterization of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
components for toxic and precious metal levels:
I with other colleagues recently completed studies on the characterization
of different WEEE components for precious and toxic metal levels. Some
of the results have been published in papers 12 and 13.One manuscript on
this research is currently under consideration for publication.
(b) In progress:
(i)
Characterization and recycling of cathode ray tubes (CRT) glass of
televisions:
I am currently carrying out research with my postgraduate students on the
characterization, toxicity testing and recycling of CRT glass of televisions
into value added products like construction materials. Television CRTs
globally are being faced out because of the advent of high resolution flat
screen televisions which have better resolutions and conserve more energy.
There is currently a big challenge of disposing the high leaded CRT glass.
We have successfully characterized and carried out toxicity tests on
television CRT glass using standard methods. A test run on recycling of
different particle sizes of the CRT glass into burnt building bricks has been
done. The suitability of CRT glass of a particular particle size being used
as a cementitious material is under investigation.

(ii)
Investigations on the fate of emerging pharmaceutical pollutants in the
environment:
Un-metabolized drugs like antibiotics that are ejected into environmental
media by humans, improper disposal of the leftovers and wastes accruing
from their production have been identified as sources of emerging
pharmaceutical pollutants. These drugs now as pollutants have deleterious
effects on humans and other lower animals when ingested. I am currently
working with my Ph.D. student on a proposal to investigate the fate of
selected pollutants originating from drugs in surface and underground
water sources, sediments and aquatic organisms.
