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 ...

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Although in situ rainfall data remains the most accurate, the gauge network density in East Africa is sparse. It lacks continuity, thus making it inadequate to assess the spatial and long-term rainfall trend and variability ...

The presence of excessive amounts of fluoride than prescribed standards has been reported in various sources of domestic water supply around the slopes of Mount Meru and other parts in Tanzania. Efforts to remove the ...

If the success of agricultural intensification continues to rely on the depletion of aquifers and exploitation of (female) labour, transformations to groundwater sustainability will be impossible to achieve. Hence, the ...

This study was undertaken to estimate groundwater recharge rates using three methods (water table fluctuation (WTF), chloride mass balance (CMB) and soil moisture balance (SMB), as well as assessing the impact use of the ...
