Assessment of fluoride bioaccumulation in catfish grown in fluoride rich waters
(NM-AIST, 2021-08)
Fluoride bioaccumulation in fish poses a significant impact to their growth performance,
survival and consequently to the upper trophic levels. Few studies have reported the impact of
high fluoride concentration and their ...
Assessment of fluoride removal in a batch electro‒coagulation process
(NM-AIST, 2021-06)
A presence of excessive amounts of fluoride than the prescribed standards has been reported
in sources of domestic water supply around mount Meru slopes and other parts in Tanzania
while efforts to remove the excessive ...
Performance of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland integrated with floating wetland and anaerobic baffled reactor in treating seed production wastewater
(NM-AIST, 2021-04)
Discharge of untreated or partially treated industrial wastewater is the major contributor to aquatic
environmental pollution. Seed producing industrial wastewater is composed of high organic
matter, nutrient, and suspended ...
Trends towards Effective Analysis of Fluorinated Compounds Using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
(Hindawi, 2021-02-03)
Increased demand for monitoring and identification of novel and unknown fluorinated compounds (FCs) has demonstrated the need of sensitive fluorine-specific detectors for unknown FCs in both biological and environmental ...
Clay-based ceramic materials for water de-fluoridation
(NM-AIST, 2021-08)
Long-term consumption of water with fluoride concentration above the WHO recommended
limit of 1.5 mg/g may cause fluorosis. Low-income communities living in fluoride endemic
regions are more affected as they cannot afford ...
Performance optimization of unplanned water distribution networks in fast growing towns: a case study of Mwanza city, Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2021-07)
High Non-Revenue Water (NRW) and unreliable water supply services are major challenges in
operations of the water networks in most of the fast-growing cities in developing countries. The
present study aims at investigating ...
Assessing adoption and water productivity of the system of rice-intensification under farmer-led irrigation system in northern Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2021-02)
This study was conducted to evaluate farmers‟ appropriation of the system of rice
intensification (SRI) in an informal irrigation scheme in northern Tanzania. Understanding the
integration and performance of SRI in the ...
Performance of inclined plates settler integrated with constructed wetland for high turbidity water treatment
(NM-AIST, 2021-07)
The purpose of this study was to investigate and demonstrate a cost-effective treatment
technology for high turbid water, commonly used for domestic purposes in rural areas of
Tanzania where conventional water treatment ...
Performance investigation of the slaughterhouse wastewater treatment facility: a case of Mwanza city slaughterhouse, Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2021-01)
The present study engaged onsite operations and laboratory analysis for Mwanza City
Slaughterhouse (MCS) wastewater to improve the efficiency of wastewater treatment of a
newly installed facility. The MCS wastewater ...
Clustering and Fuzzy Logic-Based Demand-Side Management for Solar Microgrid Operation: Case Study of Ngurudoto Microgrid, Arusha, Tanzania
(Hindawi, 2021-02-15)
Permanent electricity availability should not be taken for granted since grid sustainability and reliability are at stake when there is no balance between supply and demand. This paper employs a load balancing demand-side ...
