Surface-modified polyacrylonitrile nanofibers as supports
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
Polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (PAN-nfs) are one of the most studied nanofibres because of their excellent characteristics, such as good mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and good thermal stability. Due to the easy ...
Synthesis and characterization of carbon doped TiO2 photocatalysts supported on stainless steel mesh by sol-gel method
(Korean Carbon Society, 2017)
This study synthesized pure anatase carbon doped TiO2 photocatalysts supported on a stainless
steel mesh using a sol-gel solution of 8% polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/dimethylformamide
(DMF)/TiCl4. The influence of the pyrolysis ...
Desalination and seawater quality at Green Point, Cape Town: A study on the effects of marine sewage outfalls
(Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2017)
This paper presents our collection methods, laboratory protocols and findings in respect of sewage pollution
affecting seawater and marine organisms in Table Bay, Cape Town, South Africa, then moves to consider ...
Treatment of persistent organic pollutants in wastewater using hydrodynamic cavitation in synergy with advanced oxidation process
(Springer, 2017)
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are very tenacious wastewater contaminants. The consequences of their existence have been acknowledged for negatively affecting the ecosystem with specific impact upon endocrine disruption ...
A review of combined advanced oxidation technologies for the removal of organic pollutants from water
(Springer Verlag, 2014)
Water pollution through natural and anthropogenic activities has become a global problem causing short-and long-term impact on human and ecosystems. Substantial quantity of individual or mixtures of organic pollutants enter ...
Plasmonic metal decorated titanium dioxide thin films for enhanced photodegradation of organic contaminants
(Elsevier, 2017)
Photocatalysis using titanium dioxide as photocatalyst is an efficient way for the removal of organic
contaminants in water using solar energy. In this study, thin
films of copper and silver were deposited on
fused ...
Silver/carbon codoped titanium dioxide photocatalyst for improved dye degradation under visible light
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2017)
Herein, we report the synthesis of quartz supported TiO2 photocatalysts codoped with carbon and silver through the hydrolysis of titanium tetrachloride followed by calcination at 500°C. The prepared samples were characterized ...
Synthesis of zeolites Na-P1 from South African coal fly ash: effect of impeller design and agitation
(MDPI, 2013)
South African fly ash has been shown to be a useful feedstock for the synthesis
of some zeolites. The present study focuses on the effect of impeller design and agitation
rates on the synthesis of zeolite Na-P1 which are ...
Synthesis of an ordered mesoporous carbon with graphitic characteristics and its application for dye adsorption
(Springer, 2013)
An ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) was prepared by a chemical vapor deposition technique using liquid petroleum gas (LPG) as the carbon source. During synthesis, LPG was effectively adsorbed in the ordered mesopores of ...
Chemical, mineralogical and morphological changes in weathered coal fly ash: A case study of a brine impacted wet ash dump
(Elsevier, 2013)
The mobility of species in coal fly ash (FA), co-disposed with brine using a wet ash handling system, from a coal fired power generating utility has been investigated. The study was conducted in order to establish if the ...
