Project Title: Corn ash - The undiscovered facts

Project Abstract:   Corncob ash is used in Kenya as a meat and vegetable tenderizer in filtered liquid form. Moreover, in my previous project, the ash also revealed its fire extinguishing characteristic. Thus, this experiment is to determent the contents of corn ash using Inductively Coupled Plasma  (ICP), a scanning electron microscope and other chemical reagents; and to test its fire extinguishing capacity compared to other commercial fire extinguishers.
