CO2 sequestration using brine impacted fly ash
Muriithi, Grace Nyambura (University of the Western Cape, 2009)Coal combustion accounts for over 40 % of the world's energy production and this figure is projected to increase with increasing human population and industrialization. The combustion of coal leads to the generation of ... -
CO2 sequestration using brine impacted fly fish
Muriithi, Grace Nyambura (University of the Western Cape, 2009)It was hypothesized that South African FA and brine could sequester CO2 through mineral carbonation. A statistical approach was undertaken to optimize the % CaCO3 formed from FA/brine/CO2 interaction with input parameters ... -
Re-use of South African fly ash for CO2 capture and brine remediation.
Muriithi, Grace Nyambura (University of the Western Cape, 2013)Coal combustion accounts for 95% of electricity generation in South Africa while globally coal combustion for energy generation stands at 42%. It has been predicted that coal utilization for energy generation will continue ...
