Investigation on decolorization of biologically pretreated cellulosic ethanol wastewater by electrochemical method
(Elsevier, 2017-04-25)The biologically pretreated cellulosic ethanol wastewater poses a serious environmental concern because of its refractory and color compounds. The decolorization of electrochemical oxidation using Sb doped Ti/ SnO2 ... -
Performance of CSTR–EGSB–SBR system for treating sulfate-rich cellulosic ethanol wastewater and microbial community analysis
(2017)Performance and microbial community composition were evaluated in a two-phase anaerobic and aerobic system treating sulfate-rich cellulosic ethanol wastewater (CEW). The system was operated at five different chemical ... -
Cascade degradation of organic matters in brewery wastewater using a continuous stirred microbial electrochemical reactor and analysis of microbial communities
(Scientific Reports, 2016)A continuous stirred microbial electrochemical reactor (CSMER), comprising of a complete mixing zone (CMZ) and microbial electrochemical zone (MEZ), was used for brewery wastewater treatment. The system realized 75.4±5.7% ... -
A combined microbial desalination cell and electrodialysis system for copper-containing wastewater treatment and high-salinity-water desalination
(Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2017)A new concept for heavy metal removal by forming hydroxide precipitation using alkalinity produced by microbial desalination cell (MDC) was proposed. Four five-chamber MDCs were hydraulically connected to concurrently ... -
Determination of Heavy Metal Levels in Surface Waters and Sediments of River Riana, Kisii County, Kenya
(2023-10)In this paper, some trace metals were seasonally determined for six months between January -June 2021 (to cover both the wet and dry seasons) in surface water and sediments from River Riana in Kisii County. The river ... -
On Skew Class (BQ) Operators
(Iconic Research and Engineering Journals, 2022-12)The class of Skew (BQ) operators acting complex Hilbert on an separable H is introduced in this paper. An operator if K ∈L (H) is said to belong to class Skew (BQ) if K commutes with a (BQ) operator, that ... -
The Influence of Part-Time Lecturers' Payment Management on the Dons' Performance
