Laboratory study on the mobility of major species in fly ash–brine co-disposal systems: up-flow percolation test
Fatoba, Ojo O.; Petrik, Leslie; Akinyeye, Richard O.; Gitari, Wilson; Iwuoha, Emmanuel I. (Springer Verlag, 2013)Apart from the generation of fly ash, brine (hyper-saline wastewater) is also a waste material generated in South African power stations as a result of water re-use. These waste materials contain major species such as Al, ... -
Quantification of radicals generated in a sonicator
Fatoba, Ojo O.; Badmus, Kassim Olasunkanmi; Tijani, Jimoh O.; Eze, C.P. (Iranian Chemical Society, 2016)The hydroxyl radical (OH•) is a powerful oxidant produced as a consequence of cavitation in water. It can react nonspecifically in breaking down persistent organic pollutants in water into their mineral form. It can also ... -
A review of combined advanced oxidation technologies for the removal of organic pollutants from water
Tijani, Jimoh O.; Fatoba, Ojo O.; Madzivire, Godfrey; Petrik, Leslie (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 ... -
A review of pharmaceuticals and endocrine-disrupting compounds: sources, effects, removal, and detections
Tijani, Jimoh O.; Fatoba, Ojo O.; Petrik, Leslie (Springer, 2013)There are growing concerns about the increasing trends of emerging micropollutants in the environment due to their potential negative impacts on natural ecosystems and humans. This has attracted attention from both ... -
Synthesis and characterization of carbon doped TiO2 photocatalysts supported on stainless steel mesh by sol-gel method
Tijani, Jimoh O.; Fatoba, Ojo O.; Totito, T. C.; Roos, W. D.; Petrik, Leslie (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 ... -
Synthesis of zeolites from coal fly ash using mine waters
Musyoka, Nicholas M.; Petrik, Leslie; Fatoba, Ojo O.; Hums, Eric (Elsevier, 2013)In this study mine waters obtained from coal mining operations in South Africa were used as a substitute for pure water during the synthesis of zeolites from South African coal fly ash. Procedures that had been optimized ...
