Article Synopsis
  • The use of polyaniline in creating polymeric composite photocatalysts addresses issues like agglomeration, electron-hole recombination, and limited visible light reactivity in dye degradation.
  • Polyaniline is chosen for its strong compatibility with other nanomaterials and excellent photocatalytic performance in composite blends for dye degradation.
  • Various characterization techniques are crucial for assessing the impact of polyaniline in composites, leading to improved photocatalytic efficiency through morphological changes and reduced agglomeration.

Textile industrialization is an integral part of the economic growth in Tanzania. However, the corresponding wastewater from textile treatment processes consists of dyes and auxiliaries associated with acute toxicological impacts. This necessitates an investigation of the functional performance of the industrial treatment systems used before effluent discharge.

High temperature rise mostly caused by a fire outbreak is currently becoming a threat that endangers concrete's structural performance for buildings and the safety of occupants. The behavior of concrete after fire subjection has been of much interest for the structural materials design purposes. This study investigated the physical properties and the compressive strength of M25 concrete incorporating Neem Seed Husk Ash (NSHA), exposed to and through targeted different levels of temperature (200 °C to 800 °C) for a period of three hours in an electric furnace.
