Oldoinyo Lengai Volcanic Ash for Removal of Hydrogen Sulfide and Ammonia from Biogas
(Scientific Research an Academic Publisher, 2018-04-13)
Oldoinyo Lengai mountain located in Northern Tanzania is the only active natrocarbonatite volcano with unusually alkali-rich natrocarbonatites which are not found elsewhere in the world. Volcanic ash formed earlier during ...
Removal of fluoride from water using activated carbon fibres modified with zirconium by a drop-coating method.
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020-09-01)
Metal-modified carbon materials have been widely used for fluoride removal, but the traditional impregnation by soaking method suffers from low loading of metals and substantial use of chemicals. This study proposed a new ...

(Springer Nature Limited, 2023-06-24)
Globally, both industrialized and developing nations struggle with the issue of water pollution due to heavy metals. Human life depends on water, and when it is contaminated with dangerous heavy metals like arsenic, people’s ...
Applicability of bio-adsorbents synthesized from maize/corn plant residues for heavy metals removal from aquatic environments: an insight review
(EQA-International Journal of Environmental Quality, 2023-07-14)
The underutilization of agricultural waste products in recent years has resulted in environmental issues owing to improper disposal. As a result, heavy metals removal from aqueous systems utilizing sorbent materials produced ...
Adsorption and desorption ability of divalent mercury from an interactive bicomponent sorption system using hybrid granular activated carbon
(Springer International Publishing, 2023-09)
The sequestration of heavy metals from multicomponent sorption media has become critical due to the noxious effects of heavy metals on the natural environment and subsequently on human health as well as all life forms. The ...
Defluoridation of Water Supplies Using Coconut Shells Activated Carbon: Batch Studies
(IJSR, 2014)
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 ...
Removal of arsenic in a sand filter coupled with zero valent iron
(Elsevier, 2023-06-22)
Arsenic (As) in wastewater has negative effects on the environment and human health, hence As containing wastes must be handled properly. Given the accessibility of metallic iron, studies investigating into the potential ...
