Adsorption and desorption processes of toxic heavy metals, regeneration and reusability of spent adsorbents: Economic and environmental sustainability approach
Bayuo, Jonas; Rwiza, Mwemezi; Choi, Joon; Mtei, Kelvin; Hosseini-Bandegharaei, Ahmad; Sillanpää, Mika (Elsevier, 2024-05-19)A growing number of variables, including rising population, water scarcity, growth in the economy, and the existence of harmful heavy metals in the water supply, are contributing to the increased demand for wastewater ... -
Applicability of bio-adsorbents synthesized from maize/corn plant residues for heavy metals removal from aquatic environments: an insight review
Bayuo, Jonas; Rwiza, Mwemezi; Mtei, Kelvin (EQA-International Journal of Environmental Quality, 2023-07-14)The underutilization of agricultural waste products in recent years has resulted in environmental issues owing to improper disposal. As a result, heavy metals removal from aqueous systems utilizing sorbent materials produced ... -
Artisanal and small-scale mining in Tanzania and health implications: A policy perspective
Rwiza, Mwemezi; Focus, Erasto; Bayuo, Jonas; Kimaro, Joseph; Kleinke, Matthias; Lyasenga, Theresia; Mosses, Jerry; Marwa, Janeth (Elsevier, 2023-03-17)The mineral sector, especially its small-scale subsector, has become significant in the emerging economies of the Global South. Tanzania is the focus of this policy exposition paper because, aside from Ghana and South ... -
A comprehensive review on the decontamination of lead(II) from water and wastewater by low-cost biosorbents
Bayuo, Jonas; Rwiza, Mwemezi; Mtei, Kelvin (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-04-12)The disadvantages of conventional methods in water and wastewater management including the demand for high energy consumption, the creation of secondary toxic sludge, and operation cost are much too high for developing ... -
Modeling and optimization of independent factors influencing lead(II) biosorption from aqueous systems: A statistical approach
Bayuo, Jonas; Rwiza, Mwemezi; Abukari, Moses; Pelig-Ba, Kenneth; Mtei, Kelvin (Elsevier, 2022-07)Lead, [Pb(II)] is a major hazardous contaminant that exists in the soil, surface, and groundwater as a result of human activities. It is carcinogenic in nature and causes damage to the liver, kidney, and bones as well as ... -
Modeling and optimization of trivalent arsenic removal from wastewater using activated carbon produced from maize plant biomass: a multivariate experimental design approach
Bayuo, Jonas; Rwiza, Mwemezi; Mtei, Kelvin (Springer Nature Limited, 2023-06-24)Globally, both industrialized and developing nations struggle with the issue of water pollution due to heavy metals. Human life depends on water, and when it is contaminated with dangerous heavy metals like arsenic, people’s ... -
Non-competitive and competitive detoxification of As (III) ions from single and binary biosorption systems and biosorbent regeneration
Bayuo, Jonas; Rwiza, Mwemezi; Mtei, Kelvin (Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2023-01-14)The quantity of studies reporting on single-metal sorption systems is increasing every day while the elimination of heavy metals in binary and multisolute systems is seldom reported. Therefore, the biosorption and desorption ... -
Removal of heavy metals from binary and multicomponent adsorption systems using various adsorbents – a systematic review
Bayuo, Jonas; Rwiza, Mwemezi; Sillanpää, Mika; Mtei, Kelvin (Research Society of Chemistry, 2023)The ecosystem and human health are both significantly affected by the occurrence of potentially harmful heavy metals in the aquatic environment. In general, wastewater comprises an array of heavy metals, and the existence ... -
Response surface optimization and modeling in heavy metal removal from wastewater—a critical review
Bayuo, Jonas; Rwiza, Mwemezi (Springer Nature, 2022-04-08)The existence of hazardous heavy metals in aquatic settings causes health risks to humans, prompting researchers to devise effective methods for removing these pollutants from drinking water and wastewater. To obtain optimum ...
