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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Fluoride and fluorosis are endemic to many countries including Tanzania. Performances of different materials for use in water defluoridation systems have been reported. Some of these materials are; alum, oxides and hydroxide ...

The objective of this review was to analyze the existing information on the use of agrochemicals (Fertilizers and Pesticides) in the Tanzanian horticulture industry especially the Northern regions and their potential to ...

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 ...
