Kinetics of Degradation of Metribuzin in aqueous solution using Zero Valent Iron Nanoparticles
K’Owino, Isaac O.; Okello, Veronica; Masika, Kevin (2018-06)In this work, zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI NPs) were synthesized in (EW-Fe0) ethanol -water mixed system and have been evaluated for degradation in aqueous solution of metribuzin. The batch experiments at varying ... -
Reduction and Degradation of Paraoxon in Water Using Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles
Okello, Veronica A.; K’Owino, Isaac O.; Masika, Kevin; Shikuku, Victor O. (MDPI, 2022-08-02)Paraoxon is an emerging organophosphate pollutant that is commonly used as a pesticide and a drug, hence increasing the risk of contamination of water supplies.
