Degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from coal tar aqueous solutions using photo-biocatalysts
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are amongst the most predominant pollutants that are currently released into the environment. Despite the myriad of environmental regulations enforced by governments in countries ... -
Design and application of a bench scale evaporator for the treatment of coal power plant waste water
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)The potential of scale formation during the application of Multi-Effect Distillation (MED) technology for the treatment of Reverse Osmosis (RO) retentate was investigated in this study. An improved bench scale single effect ... -
Effective removal of ammonia from the drinking water system : a case study at Magalies Water
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)Access to clean drinking water and sanitation is recognised as a human right and imperative to holistic functioning of life and interlocking nitty-gritties. In recent years, the quality of surface water in low- and ... -
Leachability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from coal tar and synthesis of the nanohybrid photocatalyst for their degradation
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)There exists a great number of industrial processes that produce coal tar as a by-product. The rate of coal tar production is higher than the rate at which it is converted to other products, and its application is very ... -
Leaching kinetics of carbonatite and silicate based chalcopyrite minerals
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Copper (Cu) is a widely used metal with high thermal and electrical conductivities, which is primarily extracted from the low-grade Cu sulphide mineral, chalcopyrite. Hydrothermal extraction is the preferred process for ... -
Limitations of current cooling water treatment processes to control cooling water chemistry in wet cooled power plants
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)In a coal-fired power plant, recirculating cooling water exchanges latent heat energy with the exhaust steam in the condenser and transports the heat to the cooling tower for evaporative cooling. The water lost in the ... -
Species dispersion from a closed Namaqualand metalliferous mine into water sources, South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)South Africa is faced with challenges related to potable water quality, which has periodically deteriorated, coupled with inconsistent supply of tap water to households. On the other hand, South Africa is an important ... -
