Characterisation of airborne dust in a South African opencast iron ore mine : a pilot study
(2013)The iron ore mining industry makes use of various processes that result in the release of airborne dust into the surrounding atmosphere where workers are exposed, to produce a final product. The deposition in the lung and ... -
Comparison of airborne particulate exposure in two platinum refining process areas
(North-West University, 2010)The aims and objectives: The aims and objectives of this study were to characterize and compare the airborne particulate matter in the tankhouse and crusher areas of a base metal refinery sampled with two separate methods, ... -
Exposure to tailings dust, the characterization thereof and the evaluation of current control measures
(North-West University, 2007)Background: Tailings dam workers are exposed to tailings dust that has a potential health risk due to the element contents in the dust. The extent of exposure of tailings dam workers is unknown. Consequently, the elements, ... -
Influence of particle size on solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients
(North-West University, 2012)The aqueous solubility of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is an important property that requires evaluation during early development and prior to formulation of the final product. With general, experimental, ...
