Towards rapid electrochemical test system of polyanilino-laccase-on-gold enzyme nanobiosensor for water estrogens
(2013)
Current water treatment technologies do not remove many endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs) such as 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) in its entirety, and the amount of these pollutants that continues to enter the aquatic ...
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 ...
Expression studies of human coronavirus nl63- nucleocapsid, membrane and envelope proteins
(2013)
Acute respiratory infections (ARI) continue to be the leading cause of acute illnesses
worldwide and remain the most important cause of infant and young children mortality. Many viruses such as rhinoviruses, influenza ...
Electropolymerization and electrochromism of poly(4,7-dithien-2-yl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole) and its copolymer with 3-methoxythiophene in ionic liquids
(2013)
This thesis is based on the study of electropolymerization and electrochromism of poly(4,7- dithien-2-yl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole) (P(DTBT) and its copolymer with 3-methoxythiophene (MOT) in imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) ...
Social sustainability of golf developments in Knysna: an analysis of community perceptions
(2013)
An aspiring golfing destination has emerged along South Africa‟s Garden Route in the
Western Cape, the town of Knysna. Also known as the oyster of the Garden Route, Knysna has blossomed with development over the past years ...
Electrochemical study of electrode support material for direct methanol fuel cell applications
(University of Western Cape, 2013)
This study focused on binary PtRu and PtSn electrocatalyst, synthesized using the polyol
approach and supported on MWCNTs, TiO2 and MoO2 materials, after synthesis part of the resultant electrocatalyst was heat treated ...
Electrochemical actuation potential of diaminophenazine linked pyrrole derivatives
(2013)
A novel monomer (Phenazine-2,3-diimino(pyrrole-2-yl)–PDP) derived from the condensation reaction between 2,3-diaminophenazine and a pyrrole derivative has
been synthesized as a hinge molecule in the design of a zig-zag ...
Synthesis and characterization of Ceria with an optimal oxygen storage capacity as potential medium to remove SO2 from flue gas emissions
(University of Western Cape, 2013)
Due to an increasing demand for energy, alternative renewable energy sources are investigated globally. However fossil fuels are still one of the main energy sources. The combustion of these fuels produces by-products such ...
Medicinal plant use in the Dwarsrivier Valley, Stellenbosch
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Plants have been used as medicine since antiquity. Passed on by word of mouth through the generations, this oral tradition is at risk of becoming extinct due to westernization and lack of documentation. The community in ...
