Refining of edible oils using recycled spent bleaching earth.
(Makerere University., 2022-11-04)
Spent bleaching earth (SBE), a solid waste generated from the oil refinery, may be recycled rather than being simply disposed of in landfills. The aim of this research was to investigate the recycling of SBE and to evaluate ...
Experimental investigation on heat storage tank for thermal energy storage
(Makerere University, 2022-01-19)
A heat storage tank is a system designed to store heat energy used for heating and cooking. It was designed by a PhD student Mr. Jimmy Chicaga. It was designed to work on solar energy but during our experimentation we use ...
Development of a nanotechnology-based preservative for shelf life extension of fruits
(Makerere University, 2022-11-14)
This work aims to develop a fruit preservative using banana starch, chitosan nano particles and thymol (BS/CNP/Thy) so as to enhance the shelf life of fruits. The preservatives were prepared using different concentrations ...
Production of Cardboard from waste bagasse by chemical pulping
(Makerere University, 2022-10-23)
This experimentation was carried out in an effort to search an alternative use of bagasse waste to reduce its accumulation in different sugar processing industries and to mitigate the later effects of the waste in Uganda ...
