Effect of copper (II) on the sorption/desorption of chlorsulfuron in five wheat growing regions of the Mara River Basin, Kenya
(Scienceedomain International, 2016)
Optimizing production of biodiesel catalysed by chemically tuned natural zeolites
(Elsevier, 2018-12-31)
The twin crises of fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation coupled with their unpredictable prices is a reality. Biodiesel is a promising, viable and environmentally friendly alternative. However, production ...
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 ...
Effects of faujasite X and Y zeolites on the 1, 1, 1-trichloro-2, 2’bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT) degradation during water purification
(2013)
The ability of zeolites to abstract and denature organochloride pesticides finds application in
water purification practices. In this study, activated faujasite X and Y zeolites were separately
exposed to 1, 2 and 4 ...
Effects of zeolite X on dissipation of hexazinone from agricultural waste waters in Western KenyaEffects of zeolite X on dissipation of hexazinone from agricultural waste waters in Western Kenya
(2013)
Dissipation of hexazinone in Zeolite X treated wastewater followed pseudo first-order
kinetics giving a calculated half-life of 41 days compared to a half-life of 144 days in
untreated wastewater. The herbicide degraded ...
Effects of zeolites X and Y on the degradation of malathion in water
(2013)
The inclusion of both zeolites X and zeolite Y significantly affected the dissipation of malathion in water. In the
fresh water, malathion degradation followed a pseudo-first order kinetics with concomitant half-life ...
