Journal ArticleDOI
Multivariate statistical analysis for fluoride occurrence in groundwater in the Northern region of Ghana.
A. Salifu,B. Petrusevski,Kebreab Ghebremichael,Richard Buamah,Gary L. Amy,Gary L. Amy,Gary L. Amy +6 more
TL;DR: Results of the hydrochemical analysis show that aside from the boreholes with elevated concentrations of fluoride, groundwater in the study area based on the parameters analyzed is generally chemically acceptable and suitable for domestic use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aluminum (hydr)oxide coated pumice for fluoride removal from drinking water: Synthesis, equilibrium, kinetics and mechanism
A. Salifu,A. Salifu,B. Petrusevski,Kebreab Ghebremichael,Kebreab Ghebremichael,L. Modestus,Richard Buamah,Cyril Aubry,Gary L. Amy,Gary L. Amy,Gary L. Amy +10 more
TL;DR: Aluminum oxide coated pumice (AOCP) was found to be effective in creating hard surface sites for fluoride adsorption, in accordance with the hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) concept as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation by composting of municipal organic solid waste into organic fertilizer using the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) larvae
D. Sarpong,Sampson Oduro-Kwarteng,Samuel Fosu Gyasi,Richard Buamah,Emmanuel A. Donkor,Esi Awuah,M. K. Baah +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) composting potential and the quality of organic fertilizer produced for agricultural purposes were assessed and the results showed that the larvae degraded more than half of the total substrate within 2 weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorptive removal of manganese(II) from the aqueous phase using iron oxide coated sand
TL;DR: In this article, the capacity, rate, mechanisms involved and the effect of process conditions on the adsorption of Mn(II) onto IOCS using laboratory scale batch reactors with modeled water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presence of arsenic, iron and manganese in groundwater within the gold-belt zone of Ghana
TL;DR: In this paper, nearly 290 well water samples from three regions namely Ashanti, Western and Brong-Ahafo, were analyzed for the presence of arsenic, iron and manganese.
