A review of the challenges and opportunities for water reuse in irrigation with a focus on its prospects in Tanzania
(Int. J. Environmental Engineering, 2015)
Water reuse is one of the potential ways to complement the existing
portable water sources. Its adoption is becoming of interest due to water
shortages in many parts of the world. Its implementation is supported by
several ...
Operating Conditions of A Locally Made Fixed-Bed Incinerator, a Case Study of Bagamoyo – Tanzania
(Science Publishing Group, 2015-03-18)
To minimize the pollution from municipal solid waste incinerators, the study of operating conditions is imperative.
The local design incinerators can be used for high performance combustion and minimize pollutions. The ...
Mass And Energy Balance For Fixed Bed Incinerators
(Journal of Multidisciplinary Engineering Science and Technology (JMEST), 2015-09)
An estimation of mass and energy balance of an incinerator is an important consideration toward the design and operation of the incineration process. This paper is aimed to study the mass and energy balance of a locally ...
The influence of stereochemistry of the active compounds on fluoride adsorption efficiency of the plant biomass
(Science Publishing Group, 2014-08-20)
Several studies have reported various defluoridation capabilities of plant biomasses. The resultant variations in
fluoride removal capacities are associated with the presence of different types of active functional groups ...
Water hardness removal by coconut shell activated carbon
(Science Publishing Group, 2014-08-30)
The present study reports the water softening by adsorption of hardness ions onto Coconut Shell Activated
Carbons (CSAC). Characterization of CSAC was identified by FT-IR and SEM techniques. Batch experiments were ...
Energy Recovery from Municipal Solid Waste
(Regional Collaboration Conference, 2014-07)
Energy flow analysis and thermal degradation of municipal solid waste was carried out using differential
scanning calorimetry and thermo-gravimetric analyzer at heating rates of 10 K/min, 20 K/min, 30 K/min
and 40 K/min ...
A Novel and Facile Method to Characterize the Suitability of Metallic Iron for Water Treatment
(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 ...
Influence of Macrophyte Types towards Agrochemical Phytoremediation in a Tropical Environment
(International Journal of Engineering Research and General Science, 2014-09)
The presence of agrochemicals waste water from agricultural fields poses major environmental and human health problems which may be solved by phytoremediation technologies. Phytoremediation is the use of plants to remediate ...
Potentials of agric wastes activated carbons for water softening
(Research Journal in Engineering and Applied Sciences, 2014)
Various studies have been conducted to address softening of hard water. Ion exchange, electro-based techniques,
membrane filtration and adsorption are the most reported techniques in softening hard water. In the present
work, ...
Effect of Glass Thickness on Performance of Flat Plate Solar Collectors for Fruits Drying
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)
This study aimed at investigating the effect of thickness of glazing material on the performance of flat plate solar collectors. Performance of solar collector is affected by glaze transmittance, absorptance, and reflectance ...
