dc.description.abstract',:: o analytical Studies of some Building Materials such as soils fro.?. Birinin Kebbi, Zaria and Makurdi; clay from Tsambe, Scioto, Ogbcl'iri.!Itak Ikot p.nd Durumi; Limestcns from Ifon; and marble from Jakuru, have been carried out to study their chemical composition* The analysis of the samples included the determination of loss on ignition and the determination of SiO , Alo0^, FGCV, CaO, MgO, KO, Na,0, Lio0, Ti^O, Po0_ and MnO^ (or Mn,.Oo in ii & a J- £ 5 * '' J case of cement samples). In addition, the insoluble residue and sulphur trioxide* SO , were determined in case of the cement Samples, Loss on ignition, insoluble residue, sulphur trioxide, and th© main silica were determined gravimetrically; Alo0 , CaO and MgO titrimetricallyj rec? dual silica, Fe 0 . Ti^O, Po0 and 23 ?. ?, 5 IIn0o (or IJi 0 ) spectrophotometrically; v/hile the alkali oxides ucro determined flame photometrically. j?ho sa;. lo solutions used for the determination of all the oi'-idos [except for the sulphur trioxide and the alkali oxides), ./ore prepared by tv/o decomposition methods, viz: the alkali fusion (l'oC0 /u^CO ) followed by dissolution of the melt in :.y:".roc':Ioric acid for soils, clays, limestones and marble; and acid decomposition (HC1) for cements. **ie sample solutions used for the determination of alkali oxides (i:o0, Na 0, Lio0) were separately prepared by the acid decomposition methods: nitric acid/sulphuric acid/hydrofluoricen_US
