Production and Characterization of the Properties of Soap using Alkali from Agricultural Waste
This study evaluated the potential of agricultural wastes, namely yam (Dioscorea rotundata), cassava (Manihot esculenta), and plantain (Musa paradisiaca) peels, as sustainable sources of alkali for soap production. The peels were dried, calcined, and subjected to aqueous extraction to obtain alkali-rich solutions for s...
