A review on strategies to optimize metabolic stages of anaerobic digestion of municipal solid wastes towards enhanced resources recovery
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2019-12-17)
Recently, there are increased efforts by municipals and researchers to investigate the potential of utilizing municipal solid wastes (MSW) for resources recovery. In many parts of developing countries, MSW is mostly collected ...
Distribution of fluoride in beans and maize grown along the slope of Mount Meru, Tanzania
(Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences, 2019-11-30)
This study assessed the uptake and distribution of fluoride in maize and beans grown in fluoride
contaminated soils, (Ngarenanyuki) around Mount Meru in Northern Tanzania during the rainy season. The
study revealed that ...
Biomass-based carbon electrode materials for capacitive deionization: a review
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2019-06-27)
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a promising water purification technology which works by removing salt ions or charged species from aqueous solutions. Currently, most of the research on CDI focuses on the desalination of ...
Modification strategies to enhance electrosorption performance of activated carbon electrodes for capacitive deionization applications
(Elsevier, 2019-09-01)
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is the competitive technology for water desalination which appears to become an alternative to conventional methods such as ion exchange resins, reverse osmosis, and electrodeionization. Variety ...
Phycocyanin as a proxy for algal blooms in surface waters: case study of Ukerewe Island, Tanzania
(IWA Publishing, 2019-01-08)
Knowledge of the parameters that contribute to water body eutrophication is essential for proper monitoring and management of water quality for human consumption. This study assessed water quality parameters in relation ...
Water-Handling Patterns and Associated Microbial Profiles in relation to Hygiene in Babati Town, Tanzania
(Hindawi Journal of Environmental and Public Health, 2019-05-20)
In rapidly urbanizing centres in Tanzania, water supply infrastructure lags behind the speed of urbanization,
affecting water availability and accessibility. We believe that inhabitants’ access water using various ways ...
Highly porous biomass-based capacitive deionization electrodes for water defluoridation
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2019-12-09)
The high concentration of fluoride (F−) in water sources is the main challenge in major fluoride belts. Though capacitive deionization (CDI) with porous carbon electrodes is the promising alternative in removing charged ...
Harmful algal bloom and associated health risks among users of Lake Victoria freshwater: Ukerewe Island, Tanzania
(J Water Health, 2019-07-24)
There is a global concern regarding the occurrences of harmful algal blooms (HABs) and their effects on human health. Lake Victoria (LV) has been reported to face eutrophication challenges, resulting in an increase of ...
