Atmospheric emissions arising from brick manufacturing installations are a significant source of atmospheric pollution globally. Brick kiln input and firing variables, chemical reactions and thermodynamic processes ...

Developments in heat exchanger technology, specifically in the use of polymers as tube material, have allowed the use of gas to water heat exchangers under conditions previously not viable. Two applications in the flue gas ...

Standard source apportionment techniques for atmospheric particulate (PM) collected near opencast coal mines using inorganic markers only are limited by the similarity in the mineral components in the overburden and at ...

Biogas is a clean and renewable form of energy accessible to low-income households through anaerobic digestion of readily available organic waste. The objectives of this desktop study were to investigate the feasibility ...

Reverse dispersion modelling was employed to quantify sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions from brick firing clamp kilns and spontaneous combustion from a coal discard dump. Reverse dispersion modelling ...

It has been shown that large numbers of low-income SA households use wood for domestic cooking and space-heating purposes and are exposed to high concentrations of air pollutants emitted from the unsophisticated appliances ...
