Integrating reverse electrodialysis with constant current operating capacitive deionization
(Elsevier Ltd., 2014-12-15)
The presence of a salinity gradient between saline water streams may result in the production of electricity via either reverse electrodialysis (RED) or forward osmosis. While the former system generates electricity because ...
Combined reverse osmosis and constant-current operated capacitive deionization system for seawater desalination
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-07-01)
There is an increase in the use of water purification technologies to produce the purified water from saline water. The desalination process may either involve the use of a single desalination technology, or may include ...
Production of graded porous polyamide structures and polyamide-epoxy composites via selective laser sintering
(SAGE Publications, 2014-02-07)
Selective laser sintering was used for producing uniformly porous and graded porous polyamide structures. The porous structures were infiltrated with epoxy to produce composites. The porous and composite specimens were ...
Hybrid Reverse Osmosis‐Capacitive Deionization versus Two‐Stage Reverse Osmosis: A Comparative Analysis
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2014-06-06)
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a high‐pressure single‐phase desalination process used to obtain freshwater from seawater/brackish water. The RO system shows high energy consumption for a given unit volume of pure water produced. ...
Energy minimization in monoethanolamine‐based CO2 capture using capacitive deionization
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2014-01-07)
Post‐combustion CO2 capture using monoethanolamine (MEA) is a mature technology; however, the high energy input requirements for solvent regeneration are still a challenge for MEA‐based CO2 capture. In this paper, a novel ...
Modeling the capacitive deionization batch mode operation for desalination
(Elsevier, 2014-09-25)
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an emerging desalination technology in which saline water flows through a pair of polarized/biased electrodes. The cations and anions are attracted towards the negative and positive electrodes, ...
Defluoridation of Water Supplies Using Coconut Shells Activated Carbon: Batch Studies
(IJSR, 2014)
Drinking water with elevated fluoride levels results in serious irreparable health problem that has attained an alarming
dimension all over the world, Tanzania being one of the affected countries; techniques have been ...
Isolation and characterization of nitrogen fixing rhizobia from cultivated and uncultivated soils of northern Tanzania
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-12-18)
Soil bacteria1 called rhizobia are gram-negative capable to colonize the soil immediately surrounding roots under the influence of the plant “rhizosphere” and reduce atmospheric nitrogen into the form available to plants ...
Effect of Rhizobium inoculation and supplementation with phosphorus and potassium on growth and total leaf chlorophyll (Chl) content of bush bean Phaseolus vulgaris, L.
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-12-09)
The study was conducted to investigate the effect of Rhizobium inoculation and supplementation
of phosphorus and potassium on growth and total leaf chlorophyll content to the three released
bush bean varieties in ...
Wastewater treatment for reuse in urban agriculture; the case of Moshi Municipality, Tanzania
(Pergamon, 2014-01-01)
Urban agriculture is practiced by dwellers as an adaptive response to improve their food security, household income, create informal employment and diversify their livelihood through sales of surplus produce or savings. ...
