Sorption properties of natural zeolites for the removal of ammonium and chromium ions in aqueous solution
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
There are huge amount of natural clinoptilolite available in South Africa which can be utilised for wastewater treatment of ammonia and chromium if their characteristics are properly known. However, these deposits have not ...
Development of capacitive deionisation electrodes: optimization of fabrication methods and composition
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Membrane Capacitive Deionisation (MCDI) is a technology used to desalinate water where a potential is applied to an electrode made of carbonaceous materials resulting in ion adsorption. Processes and materials for the ...
Brine treatment using natural adsorbents
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The current study investigated application of natural adsorbents in brine treatment. Brines are hypersaline waters generated in power stations and mining industries rich in Mg2+, K+, Ca2+, Na+, SO4 2- , Cl- and traces of ...
Brine treatment using natural adsorbents
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Studies involving the use of natural clays such as bentonite, montmorillonite and natural zeolite clinoptilolite in water treatment have been reported. Researchers suggested cost effective processes, such as ion-exchange ...
