Cockle (Anadara granosa) shells-based hydroxyapatite and its potential for defluoridation of drinking water
Mtavangu, Stanslaus; Mahene, Wilson; Machunda, Revocatus; Bruggen, Bart; Njau, Karoli (Elsevier, 2022-03-03)The present study describes the synthesis and characterization of a hydroxyapatite (HAp)-based adsorbent derived from biogenic cockle (Anadara granosa) shells for the defluoridation of drinking water. The raw cockle shells ... -

In situ facile green synthesis of Ag–ZnO nanocomposites using Tetradenia riperia leaf extract and its antimicrobial efficacy on water disinfection
Mtavangu, Stanslaus; Machunda, Revocatus; Bruggen, Bart; Njau, Karoli (Springer Nature Limited, 2022-09-13)In this work, Ag–ZnO nanocomposites were prepared by a green synthesis route using aqueous leaf extract of Tetradenia riperia and investigated for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. ... -
Mass transfer approach and the designing of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland systems treating waste stabilisation pond effluent
Rugaika, Anita; Kajunguri, Damian; Deun, Rob; Bruggen, Bart; Njau, Karoli (IWA Publishing, 2018-11-29)Pilot-scale constructed wetlands (CWs) that allowed wastewater to flow with high interstitial velocities in a controlled environment were used to evaluate the possibility of using mass transfer approach to design horizontal ... -
Textile wastewater treatment in anaerobic reactor: Influence of domestic wastewater as co-substrate in color and COD removal
Bidu, Jerome; Njau, Karoli; Rwiza, Mwemezi; Bruggen, Bart (Elsevier, 2022-10-28)Treatment of textile wastewater with domestic wastewater as co-substrate was investigated in this study. Combined textile and domestic wastewater at different mixing ratios (100:0, 80:20, 60:40) was treated under anaerobic ...
