    • Potentials of agric wastes activated carbons for water softening 

      Rolence, Cecilia; Machunda, Revocatus; Njau, Karoli (Research Journal in Engineering and Applied Sciences, 2014)
      Various studies have been conducted to address softening of hard water. Ion exchange, electro-based techniques, membrane filtration and adsorption are the most reported techniques in softening hard water. In the present work, ...
    • Water hardness removal by coconut shell activated carbon 

      Rolence, Cecilia; Machunda, Revocatus; Njau, Karoli (Science Publishing Group, 2014-08-30)
      The present study reports the water softening by adsorption of hardness ions onto Coconut Shell Activated Carbons (CSAC). Characterization of CSAC was identified by FT-IR and SEM techniques. Batch experiments were ...
