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 ...

This study examines a novel solar-assisted heat pump dryer integrated with a thermal energy storage system using soapstone as storage material. The dryer is investigated through experimental analysis across three operating ...

The global demand for fossil fuels has led to increased pollutant emissions and depleted fossil fuel resources. Biodiesel, a fossil fuel alternative, is widely produced via transesterification. This study assesses the ...

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 ...
