    Data on the corrosion Inhibition Property of Rosemary on High Carbon Steel in dilute sulphuric acid, citric acid and sodium chloride solution
    (Chemical Data Collections (Chemical Data Collections ), 2021) Odunlami, Olayemi; Loto, R. T.; Fajobi, Michael Ayobami; Olomukoro, O. T.; Akande, I. G.; Oke, M. A.; Oladimeji, Temitayo E
    The data of electrochemical analysis of Rosmarinus officinalis (RO) essential oil effect on high carbon steel (HCS) in three different corrosive environment of sodium chloride, sul- phuric acid and citric acid solution was achieved via weight loss method. Results revealed that Rosmarinus officinalis (RO) organic compound performed excellent well on high carbon steel samples with the optimum inhibition value occurring in NaCl solution with 97.87% after 504 h. The corrosion rate values were significantly high at 0 ml RO organic com- pound for all the three (3) corrosive environments as the time of immersion moves down to 504 h. It was clearly observed that time of immersion and concentrations of RO are the main determinant factor for the excellent adsorption performance of RO organic compound within the range of 504 h. Also, Rosmarinus officinalis (RO) organic compound retarded the severe corrosion rate of high carbon steel samples in other corrosive solutions with aver- age range inhibition values between 40 and 78% after 504 h.

    Production of Adhesive from Cassava Starch
    (International Conference on Engineering for Sustainable World, 2019) Ayoola, Ayodeji Ayodele; Fayomi, O. S. I.; Akande, I. G.; Adeeyo, O. A.; Obanla, O. R.; Abatan, O. G.; Babatunde, D. E.; Olawepo, V. A.; Fagbiele, O. O.; Olomo, V. D.
    The research work investigated the production of adhesive from cassava starch. Cassava tubers were processed into starch-based adhesives, using two different gelatinization enhancers (that is HCl and NaOH) which were introduced separately. The adhesives were produced by considering two varied process parameters, namely percentage weight of borax in starch solution (8 – 20%) and reaction temperature (65 – 850C). Comparative analysis of the adhesive obtained (using HCl and NaOH as gelatinization enhancers) include the determination of its bond strength, viscosity, drying time, pH and density. As the borax weight percent increases up to 14 % and reaction temperature reduces (using NaOH) the drying time increases, while the drying time reduces as both the borax weight percent and temperature reduce (using HCl). The results of the adhesive physical properties fall within the standard range for each of the properties and this implied that the adhesive produced was of high quality.
