Making Fe0-Based Filters a Universal Solution for Safe Drinking Water Provision
(MDPI, 2017-07-12)
Metallic iron (Fe0)-based filtration systems have the potential to significantly contribute to the achievement of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of substantially improving the human condition ...
Metallic iron for safe drinking water provision: Considering a lost knowledge
(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 ...
Kinetic analysis of anaerobic sequencing batch reactor for the treatment of tannery wastewater
(Academic Journals, 2017-06-30)
A pilot scale anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) was operated at different organic loading rate (1.03, 1.23, 1.52 and 2.21 kg.m-3.d-1) in order to determine the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal and methane ...
Application of up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor integrated with constructed wetland for treatment of banana winery effluent
(IWA Publishing, 2017-08-01)
Agroprocessing constitutes sizeable industries in the Eastern Africa region discharging wastes into the environment. Proper management of industrial waste is perceived as expensive and enforcement of laws is weak. Generally, ...
Eggshells – assisted hydrolysis of banana pulp for biogas production
(2017-01-27)
In this study, pretreatment of banana pulp using eggshells in both calcined and un-calcined forms to examine the extent of hydrolysis was conducted. Reactor CO containing banana pulp and inoculum but with no eggshells added ...
Theoretical study of structure, vibrational spectra and thermodynamic properties of cluster ions existing in vapours over barium dihalides
(NM-AIST, 2017-12)
Computational and theoretical methods were employed to study the structure, vibrational spectra and thermodynamic properties of cluster ions that were detected earlier in saturated vapour over barium dihalides. The equilibrium ...
Biogas slurry derived mesoporous carbon/metal oxides composites for supercapacitors application
(NM-AIST, 2017-12)
With the increasing utilities of intermittent renewable energies, hybrid electric vehicles and portable
electronic devices, supercapacitors have been identified as one of the solution for energy storage
since they can ...
Inhibition of aluminium corrosion using carica papaya extracts in acidic media (sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid)
(NM-AIST, 2017-12)
Corrosion inhibition of aluminium using Carica papaya leaves extracts in 1M H2SO4 and IM H3PO4 was investigated under different temperatures (30, 40 and 500C) and concentrations (from 20-100 v/v %). The inhibitor was found ...
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 ...
Anaerobic treatment of tannery wastewater using ASBR for methane recovery and greenhouse gas emission mitigation
(Elsevier, 2017-10)
The objective of this study was to develop and optimize a pilot scale Anaerobic Sequencing Batch Reactor (ASBR) for the treatment tannery wastewater and reduction of greenhouse gas emission. The performance of the pilot ...
