Novel biochemical and catalytic microwave-assisted methods for the synthesis of biobutanol
(North-West University (South-Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)Biofuels such as bio-ethanol, bio-butanol and biodiesel are attractive fuel substitutes to negate the negative effects of fossil fuel use. Bio-butanol, in particular, is of interest because of its properties, such as; low ... -
Rapid microwave-assisted liquid phase conversion of bio-ethanol to n-butanol over a heterogeneous catalyst
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)A sustainable bio-based fuel industry is dependent on finding efficient technologies for the production of biofuels. A microwave-assisted method to produce bio-butanol from bio-ethanol in liquid phase was investigated using ... -
Synthesis, antimalarial activity and cytotoxicity of 10-aminoethylether derivatives of artemisinin
(Elsevier, 2012)In this study, a series of 11 10-aminoethylether derivatives of artemisinin were synthesised and their antimalarial activity against both the chloroquine sensitive (D10) and resistant (Dd2) strains of Plasmodium falciparum ... -
Synthesis, in vitro antiplasmodial activity and cytotoxicity of a series of artemisininetriazine hybrids and hybrid-dimers
(Elsevier, 2014)A series of artemisininetriazine hybrids and hybrid-dimers were synthesized and their in vitro antimalarial activity against the chloroquine sensitive (CQS), the gametocytocidal (NF54) and the choroquine resistant (CQR) ... -
Use of amaranth as feedstock for bio-ethanol production
(2014)The depletion of fossil fuel reserves and global warming are the two main factors contributing to the current demand in clean and renewable energy resources. Biofuels are renewable energy resources and have an advantage ...
