    Abstract: Soil samples were analysed to determine the heavy metals (pH, Cd, Zn, Ar, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, Fe and Ni) at Kataeregi mining site, Niger State, Nigeria. Ten soil samples were collected from four soil pits and control site were collected 100 m away from mining site. The results of the analysed soil samples are as follows: Soil pH values of various locat... Show More

    Abstract: The process of using mining rock waste as raw material to synthesis zeolite species is a viable alternative. Such process is minimizing serious impact of mining wastes on the environment and solving environmental problems such as water purification. In the present study, faujasite (NaX) and sodalite – cancrinite (sod-can) zeolites were successfully... Show More
