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 ... -
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 ...
