Distinguishing kaolinites and smectite clays from Central and Eastern Uganda using acidity, pH, colour and composition
(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 quality and characteristics of cotton and sunflower oil bleached using clays from Iliri, in North Eastern Uganda
(European Centre for Research Training and Development UK, 2017)
Bleaching is known to alter the composition of edible oils as it removes
impurities and certain food nutrients. The characteristics of bleached oil are strongly related
to type bleaching medium, temperature at which ...
Adsorption behavior of acid-leached clays in bleaching of oil
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015)
The available data have shown that acid-leached clays had sites for adsorption of impurities in oils.
Data obtained on residual impurities in cotton and sunflower-seed oils bleached with the same
clay materials produced ...
Using trace metals, peroxide, acid and iodine values to characterize oils bleached using clays from Central and Eastern Uganda
(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 ...
Upgrading and characterization of smectite from selected volcanic sediments of Eastern Uganda
(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 ...
The elemental, mineralogical, IR, DTA and XRD analyses characterized clays and clay minerals of Central and Eastern Uganda
(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 ...
