“…Therefore, at concentrations greater than 5.0 mg LG 1 , manganese may cause a noticeable aesthetic problem that leads to colour, taste and odour problems in water and subsequently potential health effects. Thus, the water from the sources should be treated using suitable methods 45 to remove or reduce the manganese before it is distributed to the community for domestic purposes.…”

Background and Objective: Drinking water distributed to a community must be free from pathogens and elevated levels of harmful substances at all times. So, monitoring the quality of drinking water before distributing it to the community is important. The study aimed to quantify the levels of selected drinking water parameters at the sources and Household tapes in Yabelo Town, Borena Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. Materials and Methods: For this study, a total of twelve water samples were collected from two water sources and two household tapes. The concentration of heavy metals in the water samples was determined using a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer and single beam UV-visible spectrophotometer. The AD8000 pH/mV/EC/TDS Meter was used to measure temperature, pH, EC (electrical conductivity) and TDS (total dissolved solids). Results: The study showed the levels of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Electrical Conductivity (EC), pH chloride and copper, except the levels of total hardness and manganese, were found to be lower than the Ethiopian Standard for Drinking Water Specification for all water samples. However, drinking water source 2 showed elevated levels of total alkalinity, calcium, magnesium and iron that exceed the maximum permissible limit set by the Ethiopian Standards Agency (ESA) and World Health Organization (WHO). Conclusion: In general, the result suggested that the drinking water provided to the Yabelo Town Community is potable and safe for consumption and doesn't pose a health risk despite elevated levels of some physicochemical quality parameters that caused aesthetic problems.

“…Iron can also impart a metallic taste to the water and facilitate the accelerated deterioration of pipes, water heaters and home heating systems. Thus, the water from the sources should be treated using suitable methods 45,46 to remove or reduce iron before the water is distributed to the community for domestic purposes.…”

“…It was also suspected that the carbon derived Marconite caused agglomeration of carbon influence high porosity of aggregates [14]. Studies have shown that carbon has the ability to absorb water and retained ions, which contribute to the improvement ability of current to flow within the matrix [20]. Thus, produced conductive aggregates with presence of Marconite exhibit satisfactory water absorption compared to mortar aggregate.…”

Marconite is often used as alternative material to improve the performance of earth grounding system. This study aims to investigate of the physical and mechanical behaviour of conductive aggregate derived from Marconite namely, the electrical resistivity, water absorption, and crushing strength. In addition, similar tests were also conducted on mortar aggregate for comparison. The resistivity of aggregates were measured using soil box method. Test results showed that the electrical resistivity, water absorption, and crushing strength of both aggregates varied with time. These values were found to be stabilised after approximately after 14 days. The electrical resistivity for aggregates containing Marconite were found to be 39.2 Ω.m, far lower than 12700 Ω.m obtained for mortar-based aggregates. Similarly, the water absorption for Marconite aggregates were greater compared to mortar aggregates. On the other hand, the crushing strength for Marconite aggregates was to be lower. Incorporating Marconite significantly improved the electrical resistivity behaviour while maintaining acceptable mechanical properties crucial for electrical grounding purposes.

“…Various biosorbents derived from agricultural wastes such as Coconut Coir [14], Banana Peels [15], sugarcane bagasse [16], sorghum brewing waste [17], creeping Launea leaf [18], and rice husk [19], activated residual Dodonaea Viscosa [20]. Using raw biomass materials directly without any treatment to remove metals usually does not have a high sorption capacity for metals owing to their low BET surface area [21], [22].…”

In this work, a new mesoporous activated carbon from waste corrugated fiberboard (WCF) and waste paper (WP) were prepared via chemical activation impregnation with zinc chloride at different temperatures as a low cost, eco-friendly, and effective biosorbent for elimination of Fe(II) from the aqueous solution. The morphology and surface properties of ACWCF and ACWP were characterized by, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Boehm's titration, specific surface area (BET), and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). The results showed that the ACWCF and ACWP had a high surface area of 1110.99 m2/g and 298.59 m2/g, respectively. Batch experiments tested the influence of pH, initial Fe(II) concentration, adsorbent mass, contact time, and temperature on the adsorption process. The adsorption kinetics could be expressed well by the PSO model. The adsorptions of Fe(II) onto ACWCF and ACWP were fitted best using the Langmuir and Dubinin- Radushkevich isotherm models with maximum capacities of 66.66 mg/g and 41.67 mg/g at 55°C, respectively. The adsorption process on ACWCF and ACWP may be controlled for both electrostatic interaction mechanisms. Based on the above results, it can be concluded that the ACWCF is effective adsorbent for the elimination of Fe(II) from aqueous solutions
