Photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants using Ag-Fe₃O₄/SiO₂/TiO₂ nanocomposite
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
The global lack of clean water for human sanitation and other purposes has become an emerging dilemma for human beings. The presence of organic pollutants in wastewater produced by textile industries, leather manufacturing ...
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 ...
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 ...
Synthesis and properties of nanoparticulate titanium dioxide compounds
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
An electrolytic cell was designed and constructed for the preparation of TiO2 nanotubes. Conditions of anodic oxidation were established to reproducibly prepare TiO2 nanotubes of average length 35-50 μm vertically orientated ...
Nano silver-Iron-reduced graphene oxide modified titanium dioxide photocatalyst for the remediation of Organic dye in water systems
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Drinking water with high concentrations of inorganic and organic contaminants can cause
adverse health defects. Specifically methyl orange dye is an organic water contaminant that has
been known (along with others like ...
