Organometallic improvement of some tuberculosis drugs
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Metal-based drugs are preferred motifs that serve as major pharmacophores in bioactive
compounds for a variety of diseases, including as tuberculosis (TB). Heterocyclic, Schiff bases,
aliphatic amines and other ligands ...
Quantum dots for multiplexed biological imaging
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Over the past two decades, indium phosphide (InP) colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have attracted substantial interest as a possibly less hazardous alternative to cadmium-based QDs. The improvements in their colloidal synthesis ...
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using honey from the meliponinae stingless bee species and antibacterial studies.
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is an environmentally friendly approach for preparing nanoparticles using biological sources as the reducing agent. Apart from using plant extracts, honey, that is used in ...
Investigation of ternary catalysts as anode catalysts for direct methanol fuel cell
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
This chapter reports on various catalyst synthesis methods (impregnation, polyol, modified polyol and microwave-assisted modified polyol methods) to determine which method would result in the most electrochemically active ...
Characterization and Chemical Speciation Modelling of Saline Effluents at Sasol Synthetic Fuels Complex-Secunda and Tutuka Power Station
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Chemical speciation and the evaluation of species distribution is the key to understanding the potential of brines to form scale or corrode the water circuit as well as the potential of mobility and release trends of the ...
Spectroelectrochemical determination of the antioxidant properties of carpobrotus mellei and carpobrotus quadrifidus natural products
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
South African Carpobrotus species have been found to contain hydrolysable tannins, various tlavonoids e.g. rutin and hyperoside, phytosterols and aromatic acids which have a diverse range of pharmacological properties ...
Removal of sulphates from South African mine water using coal fly ash
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
South African power stations generate large amounts of highly alkaline fly ash (FA). This waste product has a serious impact on the environment. Acid mine drainage (AMD) is another environmental problem associated with ...

(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
A comparative study of electrolysers using different anodic materials for the electrolysis of brine (sodium chloride) for the production of sodium hypochlorite as a source of A comparative study of electrolysers using ...
Consolidated nanomaterials synthesized using nickel micro-wires and carbon nanotubes
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Nano-devices are the next step in the application of nanomaterials in modern technology. One area of research that is receiving an increased amount of attention globally is the fabrication of new nano-devices for applications ...
An investigation into the elements influencing stock control and their relation to health care delivery in the public setting: Development of a stock control assessment tool
(University of the Western Cape, 2000)
The aim of this study was to develop a Stock Control Assessment Tool for use in the public health care sector and then to apply it to identify problems in the stock control system. This would help authorities to optimize ...
