Abstract
A mobile water treatment plant was designed, constructed and tested to provide potable drinking water from almost all-natural water sources during military operations and emergency situations. The treatment plant was designed to fit into a Tata LPTA 713/32 military grade truck with payload capacity of 2500kg.In order to design a plant to treat water from different sources, several water treatment methods were analyzed including existing mobile water treatment plants in the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) to give a combination of treatment processes that effectively treat 2.16 m3 of water per day serving 505 cadets their daily water requirements with no time lapse per treatment cycle within a short period of time. The treatment flow process majorly involves the use of ion exchange unit, filtration units, water softening unit and reverse osmosis as the main treatment unit. Autodesk inventor software was used in the design and analysis of the locally constructed components. After the selec.....

Abstract
The use of agricultural waste as reinforcement in metal matrix nanocomposites presents a promising avenue for sustainable materials development. The incorporation of agricultural waste materials in metal matrixes can enhance the mechanical properties and potentially reduce the environmental impact of composites. However, this approach also faces significant challenges, such as compatibility issues, interfacial bonding, dispersion, and processing techniques. This paper critically reviews the current state of research on agricultural waste-reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites, identifies key challenges, and proposes future perspectives to overcome these obstacles and unlock the full potential of these materials. Keywords: Agricultural waste, metal matrix composites, sustainability, interfacial bonding, dispersion, processing techniques...
