Hydrogen selective properties of cesium-hydrogensulphate membranes
Meyer, Faiek (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 ... -
Selection and optimization of the seeding procedure prior to the synthesis of Pd-based membranes
Mc Donald, Earl (University of the Western Cape, 2014)Pd based membranes are known for their incredible selectivity towards H2. In order for Pd membranes to display high H2 selectivity, a defect free layer of Pd needs to be deposited onto a support. Although various fabrication ... -
Synthesis and characterization of Ceria with an optimal oxygen storage capacity as potential medium to remove SO2 from flue gas emissions
Andrews, Gary Lyndl (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 ... -
Synthesis and characterization of nanofluids for cooling applications
Botha, Subelia Senara (University of the Western Cape, 2006)Low thermal conductivity is a primary limitation in the development of energy-efficient heat transfer fluids that are required in numerous industrial sectors. Recently submicron and high aspect ratio particles (nanoparticles ...
