@all4naija, you are a clear example of an under achiever who is too worried about other people's achievements . Your choice of abusive and vain words is of a great worry to me. I am really worried about your upbringing. You are so mentally challenged to understand the fact that no PHD is granted without proper due diligence from the constituted body of knowledge. Do you think we are talking about BSc here. I am giving you the last warning. If you can not state your views without abusive words, you will be banned from this thread. Henceforth, I expect you to show respect to others on this thread. No form of abuse will be entertained from you again. State your views intelligently without portraying your self as a rascal. Thank you. 11 Likes |

wip7:many thanks @wip7. Yes, my thesis contributes to welfare on a National level. I'm working on adapting it for Africa at large or the entire globe. I'm also searching for contemporary issues bordering on welfare Economics-if I'm lucky to get any one of International gain, I'll pursue that instead of extending my MSc thesis...New grounds need be covered! |

all4naija: I am not open to replying people on a faceless forum like this but I think you need to shut up and focus your frustration on something else. I have been following this thread from page 1 and the only thing I notice is that you contribute unintelligently with vague criticism. From the look of things, I am beginning to guess that you are one of those frustrated element of the Nigerian university system who couldn't afford an ordinary "pass" certificate in the University so I can understand you ranting when you hear someone is doing a PhD. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Thanks husseinjnr. First, I saw a phd scholarship advert on scholarship-positions.com. Then, I emailed a lecturer whose research area interested me in the university concerned. He replied and we agreed on the area I will research. Second, I developed (with help from the lecturer) a research proposal. After which I applied for admission online. In just about a week or so, I got my admission letter. Truth is that it wasn't as easy as it may sound. The hardest part of the whole thing was the proposal. Reading carefully through guides provided on research proposal writing on the school's website really helped. In fact, that was the first research proposal I have written! 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Now this is where one belongs. An introduction, however: I am an academic, a lecturer in one of the Northern Universities. I earned a BSc in Chemistry (UDUSok), MSc Petroleum Chemistry (UDUSok), MSc Environmental Technology, with a specialty in Landfill Engineering (Wolverhampton, UK) and PhD (in view) (UDUSok). My PhD research area is Environmental Geochemistry. We are trying to develop a model that could/would make it possible to predict the time and extent of groundwater contamination by the natural attenuation of (landfill) leachate in the city of Sokoto. Hopefully, we will be through by late 2015 8 Likes 1 Share |

wip7: Great deal of research. I love it. We (I and my project student) recently produced biodiesel (FAEE) from castor and water melon seed oils using bioethanol (which we also produced ourselves). We used heterogeneous catalyst (BaO.MgO.CaO/Al2O3). It was the first biofuels project I supervised (as I'm more into environmental chemistry and anthropogenic pollution and prefer working in the area) but I had to seek the help of a colleague who specializes in fuels catalysis. It was fun. I think I'll do it again. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 2:41pm On Jan 04, 2015 |
effyzie01: That is great to hear about this. Wow environmental chem is actually a great area. I have extensive knowledge of that and i have developed robust system for single to multiple stage treatment of industrial water, hospital wastewater, emerging pollutants like antibiotics, phenolic compounds like p-nitrophenol etc. You may try Chicken Eggshell/duck eggshells as Heterogeneous catalyst... Your bioethanol: How do you classify it? is it Ethanol or methanol? cos with Ethanol, you will get low product yield due to the chain conformation...methanol is perfect! I have a recently submitted works on the following and how does that relate to your region: 1. Geostatistical modeling and fractal simulation for mineral resource classification in Landfill sites 2. Evaluation and Characterization of vertical distribution of geochemical data in samsun gold deposit using fractal models 3 Likes |

wip7: Wow! This is wonderful. I would love to know more of your works. Aside my PhD research, I have also submitted a proposal for 'Analysis of Toxic Chemicals in Incinerated Medical Waste Bottom Ash'. This will cover Zamfara, Sokoto and Kebbi states. Yes, there was a low yield of biodiesel produced using the bioethanol. My idea was to use a different catalyst from the traditional NaOH/KOH we are using in Nigeria to see if we can achieve, even marginally, higher yield than is obtainable from the literature. It backfired. I will definitely try chicken/duck eggshells as a heterogeneous catalyst in the future. It is cheaper and readily available. There are works in the natural attenuation of leachates from landfills in the tropics, my work entails studying effects of seasonal dynamics on the leachate production and monitoring its attenuation combined with biogeochemical analysis and develop a model that will enable us determine how it affects groundwater. I think your works would be very useful in such a way that it will add to our insight in the use of geostatistical data (which we will not be using), to further test our model and make a case for the state government (by the way, they are the sponsors of the work) to embark on landfill construction I don't know if your research area have the same climatic and, by extension, geochemical characteristics as my own. But I'm sure your works will be of help. Would love to read them. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 4:03pm On Jan 04, 2015 |
effyzie01: Yes the Geo-statistical simulation and modeling will help a lot for spatial data exploration and surface generation. Unfortunately, our climatic and geochemical features differs although is adaptable work. Am working in the Mediterranean region and those particular studies are designed for Turkey and North Cyprus region. There is a researcher in Bostwana working on goldmine and copper deposit that i met in California recently that hopes to work on " optimization and modeling of natural attenuation parameters of leachates from landfill in Bostwana" ..i feel you guys work wiill be very close due to similar geoclimatic conditions. Which mechanisms by which landfill leachate is attenuated by soil are you conversant with? .....(adsorption, biological action, ion-exchange reactions, dilution, filtration, and precipitation reactions) The Medical Waste Bottom Ash: What will you do with it after spent? Do you know you can use it as adsorbent again for heavy metal remediation? 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by effyzie01(m): 4:24pm On Jan 04, 2015 |
wip7: I feel the theme of my work is similar to the Bostwana guy. If you can help, I would want to be in touch with him. Attenuation mechanism? I am conversant with all (from my readings of the literature) but focused on, for my work, on sorption, redox reactions, ion exchange, precipitation and degradation processes. Yes, exactly! Zamfara government is still spending a lot of money for remediation of the sites (villages, actually) of recent lead poisoning. I made a proposal to the effect that we can use the bottom ash as an adsorbent for the remediation exercise (the government's chief consultant is my supervisor). The consultant argued that we have to study the bottom ash for traces of toxic chemicals before using it as an adsorbent and I was commissioned to do it. 3 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 4:41pm On Jan 04, 2015 |
effyzie01: Okay, around June i have conference in USA i shall meet the Bostwana researcher and discussed with him cos he is currently undergoing analytical training on spatial exploration and biogeochemical characterizations in Berkeley Lab Earth Sciences Division. The consultant argument was right, most of the medical wastes may contain toxic components that are recalcitrant. But am sure you can easily use the spent bottom ash very well. I have tried that very well in lab scale and i did the economics as well. With just 20gr bottom ash in Up-flow column system i was able to recover and treat copper infected industrial water....saved almost 65% cost using alternative and cost-benefit models. hmmmmm I used to know about the lead leach in Zamfara, i thought they have been able to clear that? There are lots of projects in Zamfara but i dont know how willing they like to execute them. 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by effyzie01(m): 6:05pm On Jan 04, 2015 |
wip7: I'll appreciate getting access to him. The government was a bit reluctant to commit to the remediation exercise, leaving it, first, to doctors without borders. Recently, there is a renewed interest. Yes, we will be able to use the spent bottom ash for the exercise. We'll definitely save the government some money. The government is recently, is showing renewed interest in research studies. There are several going on. It will be a good idea to try. I would love to be one of your research assistants, sir. 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 6:23pm On Jan 04, 2015 |
effyzie01: Thats fine, i will love to hear more on how your work goes in that region. Really, if the Govt show interest in the remediation work, i think it will benefit the researcher a lot. Try to demonstrate the use of the adsorbent for them in Lab or small scale industry-type system. See what you can use the recovered Pb to do. You have to ensure that your adsorbent desorption capability and desorption rate is rapid and high that way you can spend less adsorbent and still remediate high capacity. May i ask, how do you intend to destroy underlying gases in the Landfill since your adsorbent may likely take only adsorbates like Pb, Cu etc not gases. 2 Likes 1 Share |
