(IWA Publishing, 2023-05-17)Effluents resulting from the frequent use of industrial azo dyes in textile operations have posed great toxicological impacts on man and the environment. The limitations of conventional treatment infrastructure necessitate ... -
Performance investigation of the slaughterhouse wastewater treatment facility: a case of Mwanza City Slaughterhouse, Tanzania
(Water Practice & Technology, 2020-09-28)The present study engaged onsite operations and laboratory analysis for Mwanza City Slaughterhouse (MCS) wastewater to improve the efficiency of wastewater treatment of a newly installed facility. The MCS wastewater treatment ... -
Performance of constructed wetland integrated with sand filters for treating high turbid water for drinking
(IWA Publishing, 2017-03)The feasibility of constructed wetland integrated with sand filters (CW-SFs) for treating high turbid water for drinking was investigated. Turbid water of .1,000 NTU from Nadosaito dam in Monduli District, Tanzania was ... -
Performance of inclined plates settler integrated with constructed wetland for high turbidity water treatment
(IWA Publishing, 2021)The purpose of this study was to investigate and demonstrate cost-effective treatment technologies for high turbid waters, used for domestic purposes in rural areas of Tanzania where conventional community water treatment ... -
Performance of Sweet Potato’s Leaf-Derived Activated Carbon for Hydrogen Sulphide Removal from Biogas
(Hindawi, 2020-03-01)In this study, sweet potato leaf activated carbon (SpLAC) was prepared by the chemical activation method using KOH and applied as an adsorbent for H2S removal from biogas. The study focused on the understanding of the ... -
Performance of water filters towards the removal of selected pollutants in Arusha, Tanzania.
(University of Dar es Salaam, 2016)This paper presents the findings of a study carried out to investigate the efficiency of selected common water filters in the removal of Escherichia coli, organic matter and fluoride. Additionally, the Total Suspended ... -
Performance optimization of integrated electrochemical capacitive deionization and reverse electrodialysis model through a series pass desorption process
(Elsevier, 2017-06-15)A capacitive deionization (CDI) system is one of the emerging desalination technologies used to purify brackish water. It is an electrochemical technology that uses electrically charged porous electrodes to remove salt ... -
Pesticidal Plant Treatments Combined with Improved Soil Fertility Can Reduce Damage Caused by Fusarium Wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. phaseoli) and Bean Fly (Ophiomyia phaseoli) in Common Bean Production (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
(MDPI, 2024-06-06)Common bean production is constrained by a multitude of biotic constraints including bean flies and Fusarium wilt in tropical and subtropical farming systems globally. As these pests and diseases attack the crop beneath ... -
