Kinds of olive oil are collected under four basic groups by their production methods: Virgin Olive Oil Obtained from olives solely through mechanical or physical processes such as washing, draining, centrifuge and filtration so that there will be no alteration in their natural characteristic, no additives are added to the olive oil included in this group. Virgin olive oil is divided into three according to the Turkish Food Codex: Extra Virgin: Oleic acid of maximum 0.8%. Virgin: Oleic acid of maximum 2%. Ordinary Virgin: Oleic acid of maximum 3.3%.

E-mail: tajayi@unilag.edu.ng Received: May 22, 2012 Accepted: June 16, 2012 Online Published: June 25, 2012 doi:10.5539/jsd.v5n7p80 Abstract Small and medium scale industries in Nigeria play a major role in polluting water bodies, and key among these pollutants are suspended solids, biological oxygen demand and heavy metals contamination. Conventional methods of treatment, such as chemical precipitation, do not provide sustainable solutions as the pollutants are merely transferred from the waste water to a sludge residue which is disposed of by land-filling. The pollutants eventually find their way to freshwater supplies thereby contaminating it. Water hyacinth is a noxious weed that has a rapid growth rate and easily congests the water ways in Lagos, a coastal city in Nigeria, thereby creating serious problems in navigation, and irrigation. This can be harvested, and in line with the golden rules of sustainable development, used for the sustainable...
