Anticorrosion coated stainless steel as durable support for C-N-TiO2 photo catalyst layer
(MDPI, 2020)The development of durable photocatalytic supports resistant in harsh environment has become challenging in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) focusing on water and wastewater remediation. In this study, stainless steel ... -
Antimicrobial resistance screening and profiles: A glimpse from the South African perspective
(IWA Publishing, 2020)According to the Centre for Disease Dynamics Economics and Policy, South Africa represents a paradox of antibiotic management similar to other developing countries, with both overuse and underuse (resulting from lack of ... -
Development of adsorptive materials for selective removal of toxic metals in wastewater: A review
(MDPI, 2022)Removal of toxic metals is essential to achieving sustainability in wastewater purification. The achievement of efficient treatment at a low cost can be seriously challenging. Adsorption methods have been successfully ... -
Factors influencing the awareness and adoption of borehole-garden permaculture in Malawi: Lessons for the promotion of sustainable practices
(MPDI, 2021)Using wastewater accumulating around rural waterpoints to irrigate community gardens, borehole-garden permaculture (BGP) presents a method of sustainable water management. BGP also presents public health benefits through ... -
Recyclable functionalized polyethyleneimine-coated magnetic nanoparticles for efficient removal of lead from aqueous solutions
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2023)Background: Lead is among the most lethal heavy metals, displaying toxicity towards humans, animals and plants. Removal of lead ions from wastewater prior to its disposal is very important. Consequently, the development ... -
Removal of pharmaceutical residues from water and wastewater using dielectric barrier discharge methods—A review
(MPDI, 2021)Persistent pharmaceutical pollutants (PPPs) have been identified as potential endocrine disruptors that mimic growth hormones when consumed at nanogram per litre to microgram per litre concentrations. Their occurrence in ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
