Application of South African heulandite (HEU) zeolite for the adsorption and removal of Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions from aqueous water solution: Experimental and computational study
Wanyonyi, Fred S.; Orata, Francis; Mutua, Gershom K.; Odey, Michael O.; Zamisa, Sizwe; Ogbodo, Sopuruchukwu E.; Maingi, Francis; Pembere, Anthony (Heliyon, 2024-07-16)The capacity of South African Heulandite (HEU) zeolite to remove Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions from aqueous solution was investigated using batch experiments and molecular simulations studies. The effect of different factors on the ... -
Computational screening of zeolites for the adsorption of selected pharmaceutical pollutants
Wanyonyi, Fred Sifuna; Pembere, Anthony; Mutua, Gershom Kyalo; Orata, Francis; Louis, Hitler (SN Applied Sciences, 2020-10-27)Molecular simulations have been used as a screening tool to identify promising zeolites for the removal of selected pharmaceutical pollutants. 40 zeolites with different structural and chemical configurations were studied. ... -
Unlocking the adsorptive effectiveness of naturally occurring heulandite zeolite for the removal of PO43− and NO3− anions from wastewater
Wanyonyi, Fred Sifuna; Orata, Francis; Ramasami, Ponnadurai; Ngeno, Emily; Shikuku, Victor; Gembo, Robert O.; Mutua, Gershom Kyalo; Pembere, Anthony (Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2024-12-20)The mitigation of high levels of phosphate (PO43−) and nitrate (NO3−) ions in water bodies, particularly in agricultural wastewater, holds paramount importance in curbing eutrophication within aquatic ecosystems. Herein, ...
