Reshaping Tomorrow through Green Governance and Circular Economy: An Emerging Paradigm

Circular economy and green governance are gaining momentum and traction with industry and policymakers. The circular economy is viewed as a restoration and regeneration system in which resources, energy usage, and greenhouse gases are minimized. At the same time, the Green Governance structure is a good transition to a circular economy and helps enterprises to move toward sustainable development. This study’s objective is to explore the hidden possible relationship that exists between the Green Governance of companies and the much-anticipated Circular Economy for low waste and carbon society. Furthermore, an extensive literature review was undertaken to create the first green governance circular economy framework (GGCE) for businesses to integrate the proposed model into their operational activities. This GGCE framework will be developed by exploring the similarities between green governance and circular economy. This study has three expected findings; firstly, the proposed framework will help firms to change their business approach to addressing climate change. Secondly, the GGCE framework will help policymakers to develop policies for circular economy governance. Lastly, it will be the point of reference to the academician for further extension of the GGCE framework. Keywords: green governance, circular economy, GGCE framework, Nigeria oil and gas secto

Investigation of corrosion behaviour of iron in four different organic acids

The corrosion behaviour of iron in four different organic acid have been investigated using weight loss method. The acids used includes succinic, formic, maleic and citric acid. The results of the corrosion rates of iron in C4H4O4, C4H6O4, HCOOH and C6H8O7 are 1.125, 1.100, 0.800 and 0.500 mg cm-2h-1 respectively. The rate of corrosion increases with increasing concentration of acid and with increase in temperature. The study shows that the rate of corrosion follows the order of reactivity C4H4O4 > C4H6O4 > HCOOH > C6H8O7.Keyword: Iron, weight loss, corrosion rate
