Kinetics and optimization modeling of Fenton-mediated photocatalysis of dye effluent with novel PANI/AK-TiO2 nanocomposites
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2024-04-05)
The quest for the application of a high solar-photon sensitive photocatalysts for rapid photodegradation of recalcitrant dye molecules with deleterious environmental impacts remains a major setback for the adoption of ...
Application of a constructed wetland for the removal of antibiotic residue, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and antibiotic-resistance genes from pharmaceutically contaminated wastewater
(NM-AIST, 2024-06)
The significant increases in abundance of pharmaceuticals, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB),
and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment have drawn attention over public
health. The presence of these ...
Metal oxides modified Carbon electrode materials for Fluoride and Paraquat removal from water by capacitive deionization
(NM-AIST, 2024-06)
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an emerging water treatment technology with many
advantages, including low energy consumption, high efficiency, low cost, green and pollution free electrode regeneration. However, the ...
Optimal design and analysis of a grid- connected hybrid renewable energy system using homer pro: a case study of Tumbatu island, Zanzibar
(NM-AIST, 2024-08)
This study addresses the issue of quality electricity access on Tumbatu Island in Tanzania, with
a specific focus on enhancing the high-voltage (HV) transmission line. While many studies
concentrate on low-voltage (LV) ...
Fluoride and pathogens removal from water using combined electrocoagulation-inline-electrolytic disinfection process
(NM-AIST, 2024-08)
The consecutive removal of fluoride (defluoridation) and pathogens (disinfection) in drinking
water through combined electrocoagulation-inline-electrolytic disinfection (EC–ECl2) process
with aluminum and dimension-stable ...
Design of an evaporative cooling system integrated with ultraviolet light for preservation of fruits and vegetables at variable tropical weather conditions: a case study of Arusha, Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2024-07)
Problems with fruits and vegetables spoiling after harvest are particularly acute in tropical
regions. This research presents the design, construction, and performance assessment of a
solar-powered evaporative cooling ...
Development of photocatalytic semiconductors and nanocomposites with excellent optoelectronic and electrochemical properties for dye effluent remediation -A review
(Elsevier, 2024-12)
Myriads of photocatalytic semiconductors and their corresponding nanocomposites have been investigated for the remediation of toxic dye molecules in textile effluent however, notable challenges are reported of their ...
The enhanced performance of NaFe2PO4(SO4)2/C electrode materials in the desalination of brackish water by capacitive deionization
(Elsevier, 2024-12-15)
In this study partial substitution of phosphates in Na3Fe2(PO4)3/C (NFP/C) by sulphates to prepare Na2Fe2(PO4)2SO4 (NFP2S/C) and NaFe2PO4(SO4)2/C (NFPS/C) was carried out by dissolution-evaporation method. The idea is to ...
Natural and low-cost sorbents as part of the solution for biogas upgrading: A review
(Springer Nature Link, 2024-04-13)
The availability of pollutants in biogas especially carbon dioxide hinders its application in the enginery parts by minimizing its calorific standards. The presence of CO2 contributes to global warming which is a worry ...
Representation of seasonal land use dynamics in SWAT+ for improved assessment of blue and green water consumption
(Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022-08-29)
In most (sub)-tropical African cultivated regions, more than one cropping season exists following the (one or two) rainy seasons. An additional cropping season is possible when irrigation is applied during the dry season, ...
