Comparative studies in electrochemical degradation of sulfamethoxazole and diclofenac in water by using various electrodes and phosphate and sulfate supporting electrolytes
Sifuna, Fred W.; Orata, Francis; Okello, Veronica; Kimosop, Selly Jemutai (Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A, 2016-06-23)In this study, the electro-oxidation capacities of Na2SO4 and potassium phosphate buffer supporting electrolytes were tested and compared for destruction of the sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and diclofenac (DCF) on platinum (Pt) ... -
The Dissipation of Carbofuran in Two Soils with Different Pesticide Application Histories within Nzoia River Drainage Basin, Kenya
Kimosop, Selly Jemutai; Orata, Francis O.; K’Owino, Isaac O; Getenga, Zachary M. (Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2014-02-28)The dissipation of carbofuran from soils within the Nzoia River Drainage Basin in Kenya was studied under real field conditions for 112 days. Results showed significantly enhanced dissipation of carbofuran with half life ... -
Efficient Removal of Sulfamethoxazole onto Sugarcane Bagasse-derived Biochar: Two and Three-parameter Isotherms, Kinetics and Thermodynamics
Shikuku, Victor; Kimosop, Selly Jemutai (South African journal of chemistry, 2020-08)In this work, bagasse, an agricultural waste was used for the development of environmentally benign biochar (CBG) and the thermal pyrolysis product applied for adsorption of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from water using a batch ... -
GREEN BASED SORPTION TECHNOLOGY FOR REMOVAL OF SELECTED PHARMACEUTICALS FROM WASTEWATER AND THEIR DISCHARGE LOADS WITHIN LAKE VICTORIA BASIN, KENYA
Kimosop, Selly Jemutai (MMUST, 2018-03)The presence of pharmaceuticals (PHCs) in wastewater, surface and ground water systems has instigated great environmental concern due to the toxicological effects associated with these compounds. Conventional wastewater ... -
The Influence of Filter Mud Compost and Tithonia diversifolia Leaves on the Dissipation of Diuron in Soils within the Nzoia River Drainage Basin, Kenya
Kimosop, Selly Jemutai; Orata, Francis; Getenga, Zachary (Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2012-05-22)The aim of the study was to evaluate the environmental impact of filter mud compost and Tithonia diversifoila amendments on the dissipation of diuron in sugarcane cultivated soils. Filter mud compost is the by-product of ...
