Spent wastes are inexpensive, abundantly available, and environmentally friendly and can be introduced into wastewater to remove toxic metals. This study sought to utilise spent Chinese green tea leaves to simultaneously remove cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) from an aqueous solution. Batch experiments were performed in binary systems with different initial metal concentrat...... hiện toàn bộ
Investigating Leaching Parameters for Enhanced Rare Earth Elements Sustainability and Recovery from PhosphogypsumChemistry Africa - - 2024

Substantial volumes of phosphogypsum (PG) are generated globally as a by-product in phosphoric acid production, categorizing it as a widespread waste. Managing such substantial amounts of PG poses challenges due to its composition containing various pollutants, including persistent rare earth elements (REEs) with non-biodegradable characteristics. Conversely, an encouraging approach for valorizing...... hiện toàn bộ
Simultaneous Removal of Copper and Lead from Industrial Effluents Using Corn Cob Activated CarbonChemistry Africa - Tập 6 - Trang 733-745 - 2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate the adsorption of Pb2+ and Cu2+ from aqueous solution in single and binary systems, and from industrial effluents by corn cob-activated carbon. To achieve this goal, the synthesis of activated carbon was optimized. The significant factors influencing the adsorption process namely the contact time, initial concentration of Pb and Cu ions, solution pH, an...... hiện toàn bộ
Recycling of Alum Sludge for Rhodamine B Removal from Industrial EffluentsChemistry Africa - Tập 6 - Trang 485-498 - 2022

Water contamination by rhodamine B is a threat to human health and aquatic biota due to its toxicity, persistence, and non-biodegradability. However, there is little data available on rhodamine B removal from real effluents by alum sludge. This study investigated rhodamine B removal from industrial effluents using alum sludge. The alum sludge was characterized by ICP-AES, SEM, FTIR, and XRD. The r...... hiện toàn bộ
Removal of Toxic Chromium Ions in Aqueous Medium Using a New Sorbent Based on rGO@CNT@Fe2O3Chemistry Africa - Tập 5 - Trang 1809-1821 - 2022

A facile hydrothermal route is investigated to prepare a new sorbent based on rGO@CNT@Fe2O3. The synthesis is easy and does not involve complex chemistry. The as prepared sorbent are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Chromium ions adsorption capacity of sorbent reaches 91.7 mg/g at contact...... hiện toàn bộ
Isosalipurposide: A Promising Analgesic, Anti-inflammatory and Gastroprotective Agent Isolated from the Flowers of Acacia cyanophyllaChemistry Africa - Tập 4 Số 3 - Trang 483-490 - 2021

The importance of the Acacia genus is due to its usage in nutrition, and in folk and modern medicine. They are considered as promising sources of bioactive metabolites displaying beneficial to human health. The chemical and biological investigation of some Acacia species helped in the design of food supplements and drugs. A. cyanophylla has been introduced in Tunisia mainly to rehabilitate rangela...... hiện toàn bộ
Optimization of Binary Mixtures of Biodiesel and Fossil Diesel for Clean Energy CombustionChemistry Africa - Tập 2 - Trang 507-515 - 2019
Bornes C. Mosonik, Joshua K. Kibet, Silas M. Ngari
There is an urgent interest initiated to develop clean energy resources with the aim of reducing exposure to environmental pollutants and explore model fuels that can hasten the achievement of clean energy combustion. This work investigates various ratios of biodiesel and commercial diesel in order to propose model binary fuels for clean energy combustion. Accordingly, diesel blends of ratios 1:1,...... hiện toàn bộ
