Ojok, Walter; Wanasolo, William; Wasswa, John; Bolender, James; Ntambi, Emmanuel (Elsevier, 2021-08-08)Hydrochemistry of crater lakes (n = 15) in the Ndali-Kasenda cluster was deciphered using standard methods of the American Public Health Association to understand the major ion chemistry; spatial distribution, occurrence, ... -
Role of starch in one pot fabrication of mesoporous gamma-alumina with excellent fluoride sorption capacity
Ojok, Walter; Moodley, Brenda; Wasswa, John; Ntambi, Emmanuel; Wanasolo, William; Bolender, James (Elsevier Ltd., 2023-08-28)Green synthesis of mesoporous γ-AƖ2O3, a cutting-edge material for sustainable application in medicine, engineering, energy, and water treatment, is still challenging. Our study used a one-pot strategy for facile synthesis ... -
Synthesis and characterization of hematite biocomposite using cassava starch template for aqueous phase removal of fluoride
Ojok, Walter; Ntambi, Emmanuel; Bolender, James; Wasswa, John; Wanasolo, William; Moodley, Brenda (Elsevier, 2022-08-24)In this study, facile synthesis of α-Fe2O3 biocomposite was mediated by cassava starch as a soft template. Batch mode evaluated its sorption behavior for fluoride removal from aqueous media. Characterization studies using ...
