(SpringerOpen Journal, 2015-12)BACKGROUND : South Africa uses indoor residual spraying (IRS) for vector control in its malaria control programme (MCP). Insecticide-treated wall linings (ITWLs) offer possible advantages over IRS and long-lasting, ...
-
(Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2022)Arsenic (As) contamination is a major concern due to its toxicity and tendency to accumulate and bio-magnify within the food chain, causing wider damage to the ecosystem. In the current study, activated carbon-supported ...
-
(The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2019)Attapulgite clay also known as palygorskite is a mineral clay which possess good adsorption properties based on its adsorption capacity, porous structure and moderate cation exchange properties. The study investigated the ...
-
(Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2023)In this study, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was utilised as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from synthetic wastewater. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the main characteristic infrared absorption bands of cellulose ...
-
(The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2018)Phenol and Cr(VI) are two of the most common organic and heavy metal-based pollutants found in industrial effluents. Both pollutants pose considerable health risks if left untreated. Activated carbon adsorption is generally ...
-
(MDPI, 2020-05-22)Please read abstract in the article.
-
(The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2019)Phenol and its derivatives are some of the organic pollutants found in wastewater and they pose health risks to human beings and animals if left untreated. This work investigates the use of modified Layered Double Hydroxide ...
-
(Springer, 2020-06)Aggregation and dissolution kinetics of aluminium oxide nanoparticles (nAl2O3) and copper oxide nanoparticles (nCuO) in deionised water (DIW) and freshwater sourced from two river systems were studied with the objective ...
-
(South African Institute of Chemical Engineers, 2017-06)Worldwide concerns of organic pollutant free water supply have attracted significant attention to the technological advances in water and wastewater treatment. Photocatalysis is one of the technologies that have been proven ...
-
(Hindawi, 2023-05-19)Geopolymer concrete and mortar have evolved over the years as potential alternatives for reducing the greenhouse gases associated with cement production. This current research was aimed at investigating the optimum dosage ...
-
(The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2023)The increasing concerns of climate change, energy generation, storage, consumption, and water pollution are topics that are gaining attention within modern research fields. This has led to numerous researchers devoting their ...
-
(MDPI, 2020-07-13)The remediation of soil contaminated with petrochemicals using conventional methods is very di cult because of the complex emulsions formed by solids, oil, and water. Electrokinetic remediation has of recent shown promising ...
-
(Juta Law, 2012)It is now generally accepted that the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (African Charter or the Charter) is the overarching normative instrument in the African human rights system. In almost all discourse relating ...
-
(Elsevier, 2023-02)Laccase is a multi-copper enzyme widely expressed in fungi, higher plants, and bacteria which facilitates the direct reduction of molecular oxygen to water (without hydrogen peroxide production) accompanied by the oxidation ...
-
(The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2019-10-25)The expeditious growth of the petroleum industry and its products in the last three decades has led to increased pollution of soil which is of great concern considering the effects it poses to the environment. Oil waste ...
-
(The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2017)Transition metal and metalloid oxyanions such as Cr-compound (CrO4-2) and As-compound (H3AsO3) are common pollutants routinely detected in effluent waste streams from the mining industry around the world. Biological treatment ...
-
(The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2018)Catalytic bio-oxidation of toxic Arsenite (As(III)) to Arsenate (As(V)) in a mixed culture of bacteria strains isolated from cow dip in Tzaneen (Limpopo Province South Africa) was investigated under anaerobic condition. ...
-
Assessment of remediation of municipal wastewater using activated carbon produced from sewage sludge (MDPI, 2023-08)Please read abstract in the article.
-
(The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2018)Chromium exits naturally in two oxidation states: hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and trivalent chromium (Cr(III)). Cr(VI) is carcinogenic and mutagenic to living organisms and Cr(III) is 100 times less toxic than Cr(VI). ...
-
(Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2023)The combination of a wide bandgap Zinc oxide (ZnO ~3.4 eV) semiconductor photocatalyst with typical metallic sulphides, namely, silver sulphide (Ag2S), ferric sulphide (FeS) and nickel sulphide (NiS), all of a similar ...
