The composition of photocatalytic nanofibres through electrospinning
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
The aim of this study was to enrich electrospun fibres with the active mineral
phase TiO2 nanoparticles and then to evaluate how well the composite fibres
performed in the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue ...
Photocatalytic activity of supported TiO2 nanocrystals
(2013)
In recent times, the occurrence and presence of complex recalcitrant toxic contaminants in water and wastewater is increasing and consequently contributes to the non-availability of clean and safe drinking water. Water ...
Advanced oxidative water treatment process using an electrohydraulic discharge reactor and TiO2 immobilised on nanofibres
(University of Western Cape, 2013)
The aim of this study was to design and build an electrohydraulic discharge reactor in such a way that the synthetic immobilized TiO2 nanophotocatalytic components could be integrated, for the production of active species ...
Functionalisation of polymer nanofibres and track-etched membrane removal of organic and and inorganic pollutants from water
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Organic and inorganic pollutants are two broad classes of pollutants in the
environment with their main sources from waste waters that are indiscriminately
dumped from chemical related industries. Among the organic ...
Fabrication of nanomaterials from biomass for adsorption and antimicrobial applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The Black soldier fly (BSF) is an environmentally friendly and sustainable insect utilised in the decomposition of organic waste. This is due to its voracious consumption capability, disruptive functions and economic ...
