Physicochemical and Microbiological Variations in Rivers on the Foothills of Mount Meru, Tanzania.
(International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, 2017-09-09)
Little is known on the physicochemical and microbiological changes in Nduruma, Tengeru and Maji ya Chai Rivers. Such important
variations were studied during wet and dry seasons in 2015. Water samples from various ...
Seasonal water chemistry variability in the Pangani River basin, Tanzania
(Springer, 2017-09-17)
The stable isotopes of δ18O, δ2H, and 87Sr/86Sr and
dissolved major ions were used to assess spatial and seasonal
water chemistry variability, chemical weathering, and hydrological
cycle in the Pangani River Basin (PRB), ...
Nutrients’ distribution and their impact on Pangani River Basin’s ecosystem – Tanzania
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2017-05-05)
Surface and groundwater from Pangani River Basin (PRB) were sampled in dry and wet seasons,
analysed for dissolved organic and inorganic nutrients (N, P, Si and Urea). There was spatial and
seasonal nutrients’ variability, ...
Performance of constructed wetland integrated with sand filters for treating high turbid water for drinking
(IWA Publishing, 2017-03)
The feasibility of constructed wetland integrated with sand filters (CW-SFs) for treating high turbid water for drinking
was investigated. Turbid water of .1,000 NTU from Nadosaito dam in Monduli District, Tanzania was ...
Measurement of Pozzolanic Activity Index of Scoria, Pumice, and Rice Husk Ash as Potential Supplementary Cementitious Materials for Portland Cement
(Hindawi, 2017-08-06)
This work investigated the properties of scoria and pumice as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) for Portland cement
and compared to those of rice husk ash (RHA). X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, and ...
Metallic iron for water treatment: leaving the valley of confusion
(Springer, 2017-07-31)
Researchers on metallic iron (Fe0) for environmental
remediation and water treatment are walking in a
valley of confusion for 25 years. This valley is characterized
by the propagation of different beliefs that have
resulted ...
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, ...
