Development of a bipolar nickel-iron battery prototype for energy storage
Ltaief, Mohamed Ali Ben (University of Western Cape, 2021)Energy storage systems represent a viable option to integrate renewable energy sources into the grid network. Multiple energy storage technologies are available such as mechanical, electrical, thermal, and electrochemical ... -
Development of capacitive deionisation electrodes: optimization of fabrication methods and composition
Nkuna, Shonny (University of the Western Cape, 2017)The objective of this research was to optimize the fabrication methods for and compositions of electrodes for the Membrane Capacitive Deionisation (MCDI) system. Two electrode fabrication methods were developed, namely a ... -
Development of capacitive deionisation electrodes: optimization of fabrication methods and composition
Smith, Nafeesah (University of the Western Cape, 2020)Membrane Capacitive Deionisation (MCDI) is a technology used to desalinate water where a potential is applied to an electrode made of carbonaceous materials resulting in ion adsorption. Processes and materials for the ... -
Effluent water treatment utilising a combination of hydrodynamic shear and flotation technology for the specific application of wastewater from the oil and gas industry
Cerff, Bradley Robert (University of the Western Cape, 2022)Water plays an important role in the petrochemical production and refining processes. The wastewaters released by these processes are often rich in petroleum pollutants, that requires significant treatment prior to ... -
Synthesis & characterization of yttria-stabilised zirconia (YSZ) hollow fibre support for Pd based membrane
Bridget, Tshamano Matamela (University of the Western Cape, 2013)Inorganic based membranes which have a symmetric/asymmetric structure have been produced using an immersion induced phase inversion and sintering method. An organic binder solution (dope) containing yttria-stabilised ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of sulphonated polyethersulphone membrane materials
Boukili, Aishah (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 ...
