The electrogeneration of hydroxyl radicals for water disinfection
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)This study has shown that OHË radicals can be generated in an Fe/O2 cell from the electrode products via Fenton’s reaction and used for water disinfection. The cell system in which the experiments were carried out ... -
Evaluation of the leachate chemistry and contaminants attenuation in acid mine drainage by fly ash and its derivatives
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)The mining industry in South Africa has a huge potential to impact negatively on the environment. Negative impacts include generation of reactive tailings and acid mine drainage (AMD). AMD is highly acidic (pH 2-4), ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of sulphonated polyethersulphone membrane materials
(University of Western Cape, 2020)With current climate change, growing population, and rapid industrialization of developing countries, water is increasingly becoming a scare resource. Within a power plant, processes that consume most water are demineralized ...
