Sesquiterpenoids with antiplasmodial activities from Warburgia stuhlmanii Engl. root bark
(Islamic Azad University, Shahrood Branch Press, 2023-06-01)Phytochemical investigation of Warburgia stuhlmannii ethyl acetate root extract led to isolation of ten known compounds identified as polygodial (1), cinnamolide (2), warburganal (3), bemadienolide (4), ugandensidial (5), ... -
Simultaneous quantification of acetaminophen and tryptophan using a composite graphene foam/Zr-MOF film modified electrode
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)A graphene foam/zirconium-based metal–organic framework composite (GF/UiO-66) was synthesised and then employed to modify glassy carbon electrodes (GCE). These modified electrodes were successfully used for the simultaneous ... -

Single and binary adsorption of sulfonamide antibiotics onto iron-modified clay: linear and nonlinear isotherms, kinetics, thermodynamics, and mechanistic studies
(Springer International Publishing, 2018-10-01)Iron-modified raw kaolinite clay (Fe-MC) was synthesized by co-precipitation method, characterized, and then applied as a low-cost adsorbent to sequester sulfachloropyridazine (SCP) and sulfadimethoxine (SDM), emergent ... -
Single and binary adsorption of sulfonamide antibiotics onto iron‑modifed clay: linear and nonlinear isotherms, kinetics, thermodynamics, and mechanistic studies
(Springer, 2018)Iron-modifed raw kaolinite clay (Fe-MC) was synthesized by co-precipitation method, characterized, and then applied as a low-cost adsorbent to sequester sulfachloropyridazine (SCP) and sulfadimethoxine (SDM), emergent ... -
Single and competitive removal of sulfachloropyridazine and sulfadimethoxine onto natural kaolinite clay: kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics studies
(2017)In this study, local untreated clay was tested for its ability to adsorb sulfonamides, namely, sulfachloropyridazine (SCP) and sulfadimethoxine (SDM) from synthetic wastewater by batch equilibration. The time-dependent ... -
Sodium X-type faujasite zeolite decomposition of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) to methylphosphonate: Nucleophilic zeolite reactions I
(Elsevier, 2006-06-20)Dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), used extensively as a nerve agent simulant, strongly adsorbs in X-type faujasite zeolite and undergoes nucleophilic substitution by the supercage oxygens. Solid state magic angle spinning ... -
Sources, distribution, and risk assessment of organochlorine pesticides in Nairobi City, Kenya. Journal of Environmental Sciences, 96, 178–185
(Elsevier, 2020)The distribution and sources of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in air and surface waters were monitored in Nairobi City using triolein-filled semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs). The SPMDs were extracted by dialysis ... -
Spartial and seasonal variations in concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water and sediment of Kisumu City Bay of Winam Gulf, Lake Victoria-Kenya

Spatial distribution and temporal trend in concentration of carbofuran, diazinon and chlorpyrifos ethyl residues in sediment and water in Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(Springer, 2012)Chlorpyrifos ethyl was found to be widely distributed in water and sediment in Lake Naivasha. Higher levels were reported in sediment (11.2–30.0 ng g-1 dry weight (dw) in wet season than in dry season (4.7–17.4 ng g-1 ... -
Spectroscopic characterization of the metal cation siting and the adsorbate-cation interactions in copper (II) and cobalt (II) exchanged faujasite-X zeolite
(State University of New York at Binghamton, 2006)Toxic chemicals are abundant in the environment and their detection often requires very costly and time consuming methods. Where such molecules are able to interact with the transition metal cations, their characteristic ... -
Split application of nitrogen fertilizer rates in two tea cultivars grown in the Eastern and Western highlands of Kenya: I. Confirmatory results on yield effects.
