Assessment of atmospheric trace metals and water soluble ionic species at two regional background sites
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)In this study, atmospheric trace metals and water soluble ionic species were investigated. Five research articles are presented. In the first two articles specific trace metals species, i.e. mercury and hexavalent chromium, ... -
Heavy metal dissolution mechanisms from electrical industrial sludge
(Elsevier, 2019)In this paper, we investigate the release of heavy metals from sludge produced from an electrical industry using both organic and inorganic acids. Single and sequential extractions were conducted to assess heavy metals in ... -
Influence of soil water content and soil amendments on trace metal release and seedling growth in serpentine soil
(Springer, 2019)Purpose This study was conducted to evaluate the synergistic effects of organic amendments and soil water status on trace metal release from serpentine soil. Materials and methods Two organic amendments, dendro-biochar ... -
Investigation of the relative fine and coarse mode aerosol loadings and properties in the Southern Arabian Gulf region
(Elsevier, 2016)The aerosol chemistry environment of the Arabian Gulf region is extraordinarily complex, with high concentrations of dust aerosols from surrounding deserts mixed with anthropogenic aerosols originating from a large ... -
Temporal assessment of atmospheric trace metals in the industrialised western Bushveld Complex
(North-West University, 2011)The presence of trace transition metal species in the atmosphere can be attributed to the emission of particulate matter into the atmosphere by anthropogenic activities, as well as from natural sources. Trace metals ...
