Abstract

Energy is crucial to critical development of any nation. It is a major determinant of economy power. Unfortunately, fossil fuel which has served as a major means of energy remain unsustainable and has detrimental effect on the environment. Renewable source of energy such as biomass promising a better replacement since it is ecofriendly and sourced from unlimited feedstock. Briquette is one of the alternative sources of energy derived from biomass. It has the potency of replacing wood fuel with good heating value and substantial heating time. It is eco-friendly and sustainable. it is majorly produced from waste residue of agricultural process and production which make it more susceptible as an alternative source of heating energy in sub-Sahara Africa, especially, Nigeria which was referred to as agricultural nation. Nigeria has many crop residues including groundnut- shells and straw; rice- straw and husk, maize-Stalk, cob and husk; cassava- stalks and peelings, soybean- straw and pods, sugar cane-bagasse and tops/leaves, cotton-stalk, millet- straw, sorghum-straw, and cowpea's shell which could serve as a good raw material for briquette production. Despite the huge availability of feedstock, manpower and technical how, briquette formulation merely exists in the nation. The commercialization of briquette in the country has failed woefully. Thus, a need for comprehensive studies on the missing links on why briquette does not thrive like other Africa nations such as Uganda and Kenya. This study reviewed; challenges; implications and way out associated with briquette technology in Nigeria.

Abstract

The need for industrial sustainability necessitates the development of bio-based feedstock. The persea americana seed was prepared and oil was subsequently extracted using Soxhlet extractor. The result of the physicochemical properties conformed with the literature. Further alcoholysis-modified alkyd process was carried out on the persea americana seed oil (PASO) to form persea americana seed oil modified alkyd resin (PASOM). The FTIR analysis of the PASOM revealed crucial peaks associated with alkyd resin. This shows that the novel PASOM resin was successfully synthesized. The PASOM resin also shows better resistance with chemical attacks. The characterisation of the solvent-based paint producing using PASOM resin conforms with the standard and shows better performance with chemical media. The PASOM exhibit better performance with adhesion, thereby reduces paint peeling when used.
