Kinetics and Equilibrium Studies Using Lead Ions onto Treated Maize Stalk Charcoal
(University of Embu, 2019)According to recent reports in Kenya, there has been suspected cases of metal ions in the foodstuffs which could be from water resources. The country has been towards actualizing vision 2030 which is contributing to mass ... -
Kinetics and Equilibrium Studies For Adsorption of Lead (Ii) Ions on Treated Maize Stalk Charcoal
(University of Embu, 2019)The deliberate release of heavy metal-containing effluents into water bodies and the ecosystem has been one of the most ambiguous and widespread environmental hazard to human health. Rapid industrialization in most parts ... -
Structural and Luminescent Properties Of Sral2o4:Ce3+ Nanomaterials Kamande
(University of Embu, 2019)Blue and violent emitting cerium doped strontium aluminate nanophosphor was synthesised through solution combustion method. The colour of undoped SrAl2O4 powders was white while that of SrAl2O4: Ce3+ powders were pale ... -
Effect of Varying Concentration of Strontium on Structural and Luminescent Properties of Sral2o3:Ce3+ Material
(University of Embu, 2019)In modern world, luminescent materials with tunable emission properties have found application in most of the areas that usually deals with material sciences. White light emitting diodes have matched the efficiency of ... -
Investigation of The Effect Of Initial Metal Ion Concentration on Chromium (Iii) Adsorption onto Thebanana Leaf Petiole as the Biosorbent
(University of Embu, 2019)There is a tremendous increasing demand for portable water due to the rising human population and urbanization and industrialization and climate change. There is no doubt that water in this county and largely the country ... -
Investigating The Effect Of Adsorbent Dosage On Chromium (Iii) Ions Adsorption Onto Banana Petiole Biomass.
(University of Embu, 2019)Water pollution has been the major cause of shortage of clean water in Kenya. This promptscitizens to use wastewater for domestic purposes. For example river Kapingazi in Embu wherewaste from the region is dumped is used ... -
Synthesis And Investigation Of Properties Of Cerium Doped Calcium Oxide (Cao: Ce3+ )
(University of Embu, 2019)Over the decade’s luminescent materials have found their use mostly in production of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), where different alkaline earth has been used in production of different colors. Phosphors have been used ... -
Equilibrium Studies For The Adsorption Of Cd (Ii) Using Treated Maize Stalk Biochar
(University of Embu, 2019)The release of overwhelming metals into nature has turned into a matter of concern in Kenya over the last few years. These pollutants are introduced into the environment significantly as a result of various industrial ... -
Equilibrium Studies For Adsorption Of Pb2+ Ions From Aqueous Solution Using Activated Maize Stalk Charcoal
(University of Embu, 2019)Over the past years the world has experienced an increasing environmental problem due to the contamination of water bodies and the ecosystem by discharge of toxic heavy metals. Heavy metals are non-biodegradable pollutants ... -
Equilibrium Studies For Adsorption of Cadmium Ions Using Treated Maize Stalk Charcoal
(University of Embu, 2019)Discharge of toxic heavy metals into the environment as industrial waste causes extensive soil and water pollution. The associated risk of pollution of heavy metals has increased over the recent years to a great extent. ... -
