Colouring of dolomite, quartzite and dolerite mine dump rocks
Easton, Z.; Waanders, F.B.; Fosso-Kankeu, E. (EARET, 2018)For environmental and aesthetic purposes it has become essential that mine dump rocks either blend into the environment or be used in the production of other products. Lately, there has been a constant need to produce ... -
Impact of solubilising matrices for TiCl4 on the formation of TiO2 nanoparticles
Ngandjou Douanla, M.M.; Malenga, E.; Fosso-Kankeu, E.; Ntwampe, S.K.O.; Razanamahandry, L.C. (EARET, 2018)Several nanoparticles (Cu2O, SnO, ZnO) have been intensively studied and applied in wastewater treatment research, with TiO2 gaining popularity because of its stability, affordability, large band gap, recyclability and ... -
Metal ions adsorption affinity of clayey materials from the North West Province of South Africa
Fosso-Kankeu, E.; Waanders, F. (CUMTP, 2014)Local clays that are abundant in the periphery of Potchefstroom in South Africa were characterized and investigated as potential sorbents for the removal of metal ions from effluents. The clay samples mostly contained ... -
Performance of various cyanide degrading bacteria on the biodegradation of free cyanide
Razanamahandry, L.C.; Malenga, E.; Fosso-Kankeu, E.; Onwordi, C.T.; Saban, W. (EARET, 2018)This study reports on the biodegradation of free cyanide (FCN) by cyanide degrading bacteria (CDB) that were isolated from mining wastewater and in thiocyanate containing wastewater. The performance of these isolates ... -
Physico-chemical activation of South African bentonite clay and impact on metal adsorption capacity
Fosso-Kankeu, E.; Van der Berg, C.; Waanders, F. (PSRC, 2014)The aim of the project is to investigate the influence of physico-chemical activation on the metal adsorption capacities of natural bentonite clay from the North West Province of South Africa. The clay has been characterized ... -
Potential toxic elements contamination of soils in O’Kiep, an arid region of Namaqualand, South Africa
Erdogan, I.G.; Fosso-Kankeu, E.; Waanders, F.B.; Ntwampe, S.K.O.; Hoth, N. (EARET, 2018)The aim of this study was to evaluate the geochemical background and spatial distribution patterns of selected potential toxic elements (PTEs) in ten sub-surface soil samples (n=10) collected in the former copper mining ... -
Pretreatment of coal power plant ro retentate using AR Floc 100
Fosso-Kankeu, E.; Van Schalkwyk, L.; Waanders, F.; Gericke, G. (EARET, 2018)The water purification process at Eskom includes a reverse osmosis (RO) treatment plant. There are several limitations to this process depending on the water characteristics. The most common problems limiting the success ... -
Soil quality in the basin of mine effluents and the potential of alleviation of metal dispersion
Fosso-Kankeu, E.; Kaitano, R.; Waanders, F.; Mulaba-Bafubiandi, A.F. (CUMTP, 2014)The soils along the basin ofmine effluent were investigated for their role in the mitigation of the pollution of river water in the residential areas around Potchefstroom in South Africa.The results showed that the soils ...
