Pyridine carboxamide and pyrazole palladium(II) complexes as catalyst precursors for phenylacetylene polymerization
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The objectives of this project were to synthesize and characterise pyridine carboxamide ligands and their palladium complexes and investigate their catalytic activity in the polymerization process of phenylactylene.
Metal complexes based on monomeric and dendrimeric pyrrole-imine ligands as catalytic precursors
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Over the recent past, organometallic chemistry has grown and the impact of catalytic applications in various chemical technologies has rapidly evolved from the realm of academic laboratories into full-scale industrial ...
Treatment of brines using commercial zeolites and zeolites synthesized from fly ash derivative
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The objectives of this project was to ameroliate two waste materials, namely Acid Mine Drainage and Fly Ash and recover the solid residues for conversion into an adsorbent to treat brine. The solid residues were then ...
The catalytic membrane reactor for the conversion of methane to methanol and formaldehyde under mild conditions
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
This thesis described the development of new catalytic system for the conversion of natural gas (methane) to liquid products such as methanol and formaldehyde. This technology can allow the exploitation of small and medium ...
