Avoiding the Use of Exhausted DrinkingWater Filters: A Filter-Clock Based on Rusting Iron
Ndé-Tchoupé, Arnaud Igor; Lufingo, Mesia; Hu, Rui; Gwenzi, Willis; Ntwampe, Seteno Karabo Obed; Noubactep, Chicgoua; Njau, Karoli (MDPI, 2018-05-02)Efficient but affordable water treatment technologies are currently sought to solve the prevalent shortage of safe drinking water. Adsorption-based technologies are in the front-line of these efforts. Upon proper design, ... -
Conceptualizing the Fe0/H2O System: A Call for Collaboration to Mark the 30th Anniversary of the Fe0-Based Permeable Reactive Barrier Technology
Cao, Viet; Bakari, Omari; Tchidjo, Joseline; Bandjun, Nadège; Tchoupé, Arnaud; Gwenzi, Willis; Njau, Karoli; Noubactep, Chicgoua (MDPI, 2022-10-03)Science denial relates to rejecting well-established views that are no longer questioned by scientists within a given community. This expression is frequently connected with climate change and evolution. In such cases, ... -
Effects of zero-valent iron on sludge and methane production in anaerobic digestion of domestic wastewater
Bakari, Omari; Njau, Karoli; Noubactep, Chicgoua (Elsevier, 2023-12-08)Iron metal (Fe0) materials enhance the performance of anaerobic digestion (AD) reactors to remove pollutants. Most research focused on the materials' mechanisms and effectiveness in enhancing AD. However, there is scant ... -
Fe0-Supported Anaerobic Digestion for Organics and Nutrients Removal from Domestic Sewage
Bakari, Omari; Njau, Karoli; Noubactep, Chicgoua (MDPI, 2022-08-15)esults from different research suggest that metallic iron (Fe0) materials enhance anaerobic digestion (AD) systems to remove organics (chemical oxygen demand (COD)), phosphorus and nitrogen from polluted water. However, ... -
Metallic iron for safe drinking water provision: Considering a lost knowledge
Mwakabona, Hezron; Ndé-Tchoupé, Arnaud; Njau, Karoli; Noubactep, Chicgoua; Wydra, Kerstin (Pergamon, 2017-06-15)Around year 1890, the technology of using metallic iron (Fe0) for safe drinking water provision was already established in Europe. The science and technology to manufacture suitable Fe0 materials were known and further ... -
Metallic iron for water treatment: leaving the valley of confusion
Makota, Susanne; Nde-Tchoupe, Arnaud; Mwakabona, Hezron; Noubactep, Chicgoua; Nassi, Achille; Njau, Karoli; Mwakabona, Hezron (Springer, 2017-07-31)Researchers on metallic iron (Fe0) for environmental remediation and water treatment are walking in a valley of confusion for 25 years. This valley is characterized by the propagation of different beliefs that have resulted ... -
A Novel and Facile Method to Characterize the Suitability of Metallic Iron for Water Treatment
Lufingo, Mesia; Ndé-Tchoupé, Arnaud Igor; Hu, Rui; Njau, Karoli; Noubactep, Chicgoua (MDPI, 2019-11-23)Metallic iron (Fe0) materials have been industrially used for water treatment since the 1850s. There are still many fundamental challenges in affordably and reliably characterizing the Fe0 intrinsic reactivity. From the ...
