Effect of mixing ratios of natural inorganic additives in removing ammonia and sulfide in the liquid phase during anaerobic digestion of slaughterhouse waste
(Elsevier, 2021-06-01)
In this study, the efficacy of inorganic additives in the removal of total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) and sulfide in the aqueous phase of slaughterhouse waste undergoing anaerobic digestion in the batch reactor was investigated. ...
The need to enforce minimum environmental flow requirements in Tanzania to preserve estuaries: case study of mangrove-fringed Wami River estuary
(Elsevier, 2015-11-01)
The importance of restoring and maintaining environmental flows for sustaining the ecosystem integrity of rivers has been recognized in policies and legal frameworks in many countries. However this is routinely not implemented ...
Characterization of Polycaprolactone and Rice Husk Silica Composite (PCL-SiO2) by E-Spinning to Apply Supporter for Drug Release
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2017)
Abstract. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is an interesting material to apply biomedical field owing to
its biodegradability and biocompatibility which is suitable for a specific site with longer
healing times. Blending the polymer ...

Cryptogamic packed biofilter as potential adsorbent for co2, h2s and nh3 impurities from biogas
(NM-AIST, 2020-07)
The presence of elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and trace impurities in biogas affect its caloric value as well as causes corrosion and are extremely toxic. There are various methods ...
Fast Rate Production of Biodiesel from Neem Seed Oil Using a Catalyst Made from Banana Peel Ash Loaded with Metal Oxide (Li-CaO/Fe2 (SO4)3)
(Hindawi, 2020-08-27)
Biodiesel is a possible remedy to the present toxic, finite sources and ever-diminishing crude fuels. Nonedible and locally available (Azadirachta indica) neem seed oil (NSO) as a second-generation feedstock was transformed ...
Theoretical and Experimental Performance Analysis of a Novel Domestic Biogas Burner
(Hindawi, 2020-09-16)
The inefficient indoor burning of fuelwood on traditional cookstoves generates pollutants, primarily carbon monoxide and many other human health-damaging emissions. It is from this risk that it is necessary to have an ...
Fish bladder-based activated porous carbon/co3o4/tio2 composite electrodes for supercapacitors
(NM-AIST, 2020-02)
Supercapacitors as energy storage devices depend on electrode materials, electrolyte and
conductive additives. In relation to the above, this master’s dissertation specifically provides
a scientific understanding and ...
