A Review on Degradation Improvement of Sisal Fiber by Alkali and Pozzolana for Cement Composite Materials
(Taylor & Francis, 2024)Sisal fiber employment in concrete improves its post-crack strength, but sisal fiber degrades due to moisture and cement mineralization. Many researchers used alkaline and pozzolanic techniques to treat sisal fiber in ... -
Risk of heavy metals exposure through consumption of rice from Kahama and Geita districts
(2016-04)Heavy metals exposure is associated with various human health problems. This research aimed at determining the levels of heavy metals in paddy soils and in polished rice from villages around the artisanal gold mining areas ... -
Risks of sanitation facilities to groundwater pollution in Babati town, Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2019-03)Despite of its importance for human consumption groundwater resource is under threat of overexploitation and pollutions. The study to assess the risks of sanitation facilities to groundwater pollution was carried out in ... -
Simulation, performance analysis and improvements of solar farm installation in Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2019-04)With the environmental advantages of solar energy, the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) in electricity generation is encouraged by Tanzanian governments, however, the number of institutions that are benefiting from installing ... -
Study of crustacean biomass wastes for water defluoridation
(NM-AIST, 2018-09)High levels of fluoride (F-) in community drinking water supply is recognized as one of the major public health problems. Until now no efficient and affordable F- removal technology exists in many regions. This research ... -
Surface water – groundwater interactions: A case of a shallow semi-closed lake catchment in northern Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2023-06)Conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater is rapidly growing in many developing countries as an adaptation strategy to climate variability and change. However, the interactions between the groundwater and the ... -
Sustainable biofuel production in Sub-Saharan Africa: Exploring transesterification process, nonedible feedstocks, and policy implications
(WIREs, 2024-05-10)The world is currently dealing with an energy crisis, primarily due to heavy reliance on finite fossil fuels and the associated rise in energy demand. In response to this crisis, replacing heavy reliance on finite fossil ... -
Synthesis of mesoporous carbon from non-biodegradable plastic bags for water purification: methylene blue removal
(NM-AIST, 2017-12)In the present work, the mesoporous carbon materials with pore diameter of 14.2 nm and specific surface areas of 15.18 (m2g-1) identified by Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) were synthesized from non-biodegradable ... -
Theoretical and experimental studies of combination of synthetic dye (indoline d131) and natural dye (lawsone) for dye sensitized solar cells applications
(NM-AIST, 2019-02)Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) convert visible sunlight to electricity using a wide band semiconductor. The DSSCs have attracted many researchers due to their environmental friendliness, low manufacturing cost and ... -
The use of pesticidal plants as environmental friendly Practice for field and storage pests’ management in Common beans and cowpeas
(2016-04)Infestation caused by insect pests on legumes has been witnessed to cause losses in the fields during cultivation as well as during storage. Use of pesticidal plants is seen as an alternative option although it is not used ... -
