Removal of COD from biodiesel wastewater using a hydrophobic polymer
Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Van den Berg, Marcelle; Waanders, Frans; Pandey, Sadanand (EARET, 2018)Biodiesel production is increasing internationally as an alternative fuel. This is due to the rapid depletion of non-renewable energy sources. Pure biodiesel product can be obtained by washing the product with hot water. ... -
Removal of naphthalene from simulated wastewater through adsorption-photodegradation by ZnO/Ag/GO nanocomposite
Mukwevho, Nthambeleni; Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Waanders, Frans; Gusain, Rashi; Kumar, Neeraj (Elsevier, 2020)In this study, a ZnO/Ag/GO nanocomposite was synthesised and used as photocatalyst for effective photodegradation of naphthalene from simulated wastewater under visible light. Chemical and morphological characterisation ... -
Selective adsorption of heavy and light metals by natural zeolites
Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Reitz, Magdali; Waanders, Frans (PSRC, 2014)Recent studies have shown that zeolite can be applied through an ion-exchange process to remove metals from solutions. In this paper the potential of two zeolites to perform as sorbents for treatment of multi-metal system ... -
Sol-gel preparations of ZnO/SnO2 composite photocatalysts applied for the degradation of PAH’s under visible light
Mukwevho, Nthambeleni; Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Waanders, Frans; Bunt, John; De Bruyn, Dewald (EARET, 2018)Wastewater treatment challenges faced by conventional methods have necessitated the need for alternative/complementary methods that are environmentally benign and efficient especially toward recalcitrant organic pollutants. ...
