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 characterization of nanofluids for cooling applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Low thermal conductivity is a primary limitation in the development of energy-efficient heat transfer fluids that are required in numerous industrial sectors. Recently submicron and high aspect ratio particles (nanoparticles ...
Preparation and characterization of highly active nano pt/c electrocatalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cell
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Catalysts play an essential role in nearly every chemical production process. Platinum supported on high surface area carbon substrates (Pt/C) is one of the promising candidates as an electrocatalyst in low temperature ...
