Thermal Performance Analysis of Solar Dryer Integrated with Heat Energy Storage System and a Low-Cost Parabolic Solar Dish Concentrator for Food Preservation
(Hindawi, 2020-07-30)
Solar energy has become a viable alternative energy because it is a clean type of energy that converts solar radiation into heat energy for various applications such as heating water, power generation, cooking, and food ...
io-Oil Upgrading over ZSM-5 Catalyst: A Review of Catalyst Performance and Deactivation
(wiley, 2023-12-27)
Due to population explosion and industrialization, waste biomass and polymer conversion into biofuel has attracted the interest of researchers. The application of the ZSM-5 catalyst for bio-oil upgrading into renewable ...
Potential use of zero-valent iron in enhancing performance and resource recovery during the anaerobic digestion of domestic sewage
(NM-AIST, 2024-08)
Incorporating metallic iron (Fe
0
) into anaerobic digesters can improve organics (chemical
oxygen demand (COD)), phosphorus, and nitrogen from contaminated water. However, no
study has systematically assessed ...
Assessment of Mpanda groundwater contamination and the effectiveness of the baobab seeds-derived biochar for iron removal from groundwater
(NM-AIST, 2024-08)
Groundwater in Mpanda District, Tanzania, faces excessive iron content, causing a reddish brown colouration due to oxidized iron species. The present study evaluated Mpanda
groundwater contamination and the effectiveness ...
The removal of arsenic from synthetic solution using a sand filter coupled with zero valent iron
(NM-AIST, 2024-07)
Contamination of groundwater with arsenic (As) poses a serious risk to public health,
demanding the development of effective remediation technology. This study investigated the
use of sand filters coupled with of ...
Naturally occurring metal oxides from rocks as capacitive deionization electrode materials for antibacterial activities
(NM-AIST, 2024-01)
The availability of clean and safe drinking water remains a prominent challenge in most parts of
the world. Drinking water should be free from harmful microorganisms, salt as well as other
organic and inorganic ...
Computational and experimental performance analysis of a runner for gravitational water vortex power plant
(NM-AIST, 2024-08)
Energy generation through water is one of the most economic sources of power. On the other
hand, isolated and rural communities can both benefit from using micro-hydropower to power
their homes. The gravitational water ...
Optimization of arsenic(III) and mercury(II) removal from non-competitive and competitive sorption systems onto activated carbon
(NM-AIST, 2024-07)
Heavy metals exist in the ecosystem both naturally and due to anthropogenic activities and as
recalcitrant pollutants; they are non-biodegradable and cause acute and chronic diseases to
human beings and many lifeforms. ...
Solvothermal liquefaction of orange peels and catalytic upgrading of biocrude into transportation fuel over a hybrid catalyst
(NM-AIST, 2024-08)
The efficient valorization of biomass for energy-derived biocrudes is essential for effective
waste management. However, the production of biocrudes with high energy and reduced
oxygen contents during the liquefaction ...
Emerging pollution, antimicrobial resistance, and the applicability of biochar adsorbents: A comprehensive study in African water systems
(NM-AIST, 2024-07)
The impacts of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) extend far beyond clinical settings, permeating
into agriculture and the economy, precipitating dire consequences such as compromised
treatment efficacy, diminished ...
