The Threats of Electronic Waste on Water Resources in Urban Tanzania: A Case Study of Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, and Arusha
Muhajir Mussa Kwikima*
This study investigated the impacts of e-waste on water quality in three major cities of Tanzania - Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, and Arusha. Water samples were collected from sites proximate to residential-cum-e waste hotspots and analyzed for physicochemical parameters as well as concentrations of priority toxic heavy metals and organic pollutants. Results showed pH, conductivity, TDS, and turbidi
Biochar Innovation: Improving Industrial Effluent Quality Through Activated Plantain Biochar for Particulate Matter Adsorption
Nnadikwe Johnson*, Iheme Chigozie, Chinemerem Joy Johnson, Ibe Raymond Obinna, Akujuru Kelvin
This innovative study explores the potential of plantain peel, a readily available and sustainable material, for the effective removal of particulate matter from industrial effluents. Through a series of batch experiments, the researchers investigated the optimal conditions for absorption, including pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and particle size. The findings reveal that the adsorbent a
Effect of Additional Capacitor and Diode to A Single-Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC) Dc-Dc Converter For Offgrid System Based Photovoltaic (PV) Applications
Uzaifa Isah*, Abdu Yunusa, M.H. Ali
For a stand-alone based photovoltaic (PV) applications, this article analyzes the implications of adding certain components to the single-ended primary inductor converter (SEPIC). A capacitor and a diode were added to the new topology's design. The added capacitor was used to boost and shaped the signal coming out from the power switch while the diode serves as a reverse back diode. The sugg
Spectral Effects of Eco-Innovations' Adoption On Sustainable Livelihoods’ Resilience Among Small-Scale Wheat Farmers In Jigawa State of Nigeria
Sadiq, M.S., Singh, I.P., Ahmad, M.M. Gama, E.N. Katanga, Y.N. and Sambo, A.A.
The adoption of eco-innovations for sustainable livelihoods among wheat farmers in Jigawa State, Nigeria, presents a pressing problem that necessitates attention and intervention. Despite the potential benefits associated with eco-friendly agricultural practices, the rate of adoption remains a significant challenge, hindering the attainment of sustainable livelihoods for wheat farmers in the regio
