Soap stock is a liquid waste obtained from soya bean oil industry from the neutralization process which has several environmental issues due to its high amount of organic and inorganic pollutants. Soap stock emerges from the refining process when oil is treated with a dilute alkali solution separating the FFAs as soaps. In this present study, an attempt was made at treating the wastewater using successive columns containing different types of solid state materials. The wastewater was passed through successive columns of fine sand, Zeolite and Zeolite/fine sand composite.. This treatment method decreased the toxic concentration of heavy metals assessed which include Pb, Cu, Zn, Ni and Cd by mean percentages of 96.60%, 100%, 62.0%, 16.10% and 96.60% respectively. Most contaminants were removed in the Zeolite/sand composite column possibly as a result of ion exchange capacity in addition to high sorption affinity of Zeolite on its active sites. This simple Zeolite based method enable us to obtain environmentally friendly treated soya bean oil water that can be safely used for irrigation purposes.

The results obtained showed that the moisture, ash, fat/lipid content, crude fibre, protein and carbohydrates of the hypocotyl had values at (7.17, 3.00, 3.35, 2.63, 11.25, 72.60 and 9.33, 2.67, 2.80, 4.03, 10.00 and 72.57) %. The Phytochemical analysis performed were Alkaloids (76.00 and 43.47) %, cyanogenic derivative (78.84% and 48.60%), tannins (19.97 and 19.96)%, and Phytate (1.19 and 0.07). The mineral composition; potassium, calcium, zinc and iron was determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry with values 633.70 and 452.27 mg/100 g, 148.65 and 120.78 mg/100g, 1.36 and 2.13 mg/100 g, 2.05 and 3.24 mg/100 g respectively. Furthermore, the result of the t-test analysis carried out showed that there is a significant difference between the raw and boiled sample of Palmyra palm. The quantitative phytochemical analysis of the Borassus aethiopum hypocotyls revealed a good percentage of phytochemicals such as alkaloids, Saponin, flavonoids, steroids, cyanogenic derivatives, tannins and phytate and hence can be used in pharmaceutical and medical science to produce drugs and supplements that can prevent diseases.","PeriodicalId":113806,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Chemistry and Pharmacy","volume":"186 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126786536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
