The hydrochemical characteristics of groundwater in the Incomati Estuary
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The focus of this work was to monitor and evaluate the hydrochemical characteristics of the groundwater in the Incomati Estuary for a period of one year. The aims of this work were to evaluate the groundwater chemistry ...
The electrogeneration of hydroxyl radicals for water disinfection
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
This study has shown that OHË radicals can be generated in an Fe/O2 cell from the electrode products via Fenton’s reaction and used for water disinfection. The cell system in which the experiments were carried out ...
Electrochemical dynamics of cytochrome P450 (2D6) biosensors for selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a new class of antidepressants used mainly for the treatment of depression and other forms of related disorders. There are a number of side effects associated with these ...
Hydrogen selective properties of cesium-hydrogensulphate membranes
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Over the past 40 years, research pertaining to membrane technology has lead to the development of a wide range of applications including beverage production, water purification and the separation of dairy products. For the ...
Synthesis and electrochemical characterisation of conducting polyaniline-fly ash matrix composites
(2005)
The aim of this study was to produce useful composite materials from fly ash, a major waste product of coal combustion from power plants. Polyaniline-fly ash (PANI-FA) composites were prepared by in situ polymerisation of ...
Composite low temperate hydrogen storage material on the basis of iron-titanium alloy ; synthesis and structure
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
It is widely believed that hydrogen will within a few tens of years become the means of storing and transporting energy. The reason is the depletion of hydrocarbons and the
relatively facile production of hydrogen from ...
Electrochemical studies of monosubstituted squarate ligands and its transition metal and lanthanide complexes
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The study introduces and puts forward Sector Policing as a model to expand community Policing and to broaden the scope of crime prevention. It also demonstrates how Sector Policing can be utilised to decentralise policing ...
Biological properties of selected flavonoids of rooibos (Aspalathus linearis)
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Bioactivity-guided fractionation was used to identify the most potent antioxidant and antimutagenic fractions contained in the methanol extract of unfermented rooibos (Aspalathus linearis), as well as the bioactive principles ...
The preparation of binuclear and polynuclear methyl complexes of palladium as catalyst precursors in phenylacetylene polymerization
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
This study focused on the development of binuclear and multinuclear catalyst for use in vinylic monomer oligomerization and polymerization. The main objective was to develop new homogeneous catalysts systems with hopefully ...
Immobilized catalysts for alkene oxidation
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Tertiary butyl substituted and unsubstituted Schiff base systems containing N,O donor ligands (Salicylaldimines) with aminotriethoxysilane tail were synthesized and complexed to Copper and Cobalt acetate. The ligands were ...
