    Selective adsorption of heavy and light metals by natural zeolites 

    Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Reitz, Magdali; Waanders, Frans (PSRC, 2014)
    Recent studies have shown that zeolite can be applied through an ion-exchange process to remove metals from solutions. In this paper the potential of two zeolites to perform as sorbents for treatment of multi-metal system ...

    Bentonitc clay adsorption affinity for anionic and cationic dyes 

    Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Waanders, Frans; Fraser, Corinne (PSRC, 2014)
    The incidence of dye pollution in South Africa is quite alarming, requesting effective and affordable techniques to curb further degradation of the limited water resource. Adsorption is an attractive technique due to a ...

    Adsorption potential of bentonite and attapulgite clays applied for the desalination of sea water 

    Nel, Monica; Waanders, Frans B.; Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis (PSRC, 2014)
    A possible new process for the partial desalination of seawater is to use bentonite clay or attapulgite as an adsorbent. The ion exchange property of these clays, which is a result of the characteristic t-o-t layer ...

    Susceptibility of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to inhibitors and impact on bioethanol production yield 

    Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Marx, Sanette; Meyer, Anton (PSRC, 2014)
    There have been increasing concerns in developing countries over the competition between food and energy resulting from the production of bioethanol from edible biomass. Second generation lignocellulose feedstock is an ...

    Co-digestion of sweet sorghum bagasse with scientific and crude glycerols for electricity generation 

    Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Marx, Sanette; Ribberink, Jandri A.; Van den Bergh, Jacobus P.J. (PSRC, 2014)
    With the global fossil fuel supplies dwindling and the alarming increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the need for alternative, clean energies, from carbon neutral sources is pressing. This impetus advanced research ...

    Comparative adaptation of B. subtilis and P. aeruginosa in diesel supplemented medium and impact on biodegradation potential 

    Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Marx, Sanette; Brink, Antonie (PSRC, 2014)
    The degree of diesel blending is likely to influence its toxicity as well as the susceptibility and speed of biodegradation. It is therefore imperative to identify strains that can degrade diesel blend in record time, such ...

    Investigation of effective chemical flocculation conditions for the treatment of reverse osmosis reject water from coal power plant: a case study 

    Van der Linde, Johannes Cornelius; Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Waanders, Frans; Gericke, Gerhard (Desalination Publications, 2020)
    Power generation processes generate wastewater that is rich in scale-forming agents and which, therefore, requires suitable pre-treatment prior to further treatment with an RO system. In this study, Rheofloc5023 was used ...

    Photocatalytic degradation of naphthalene using tin dioxide nanomaterial under visible light 

    Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; De Bruyn, Dewald; Mukwevho, Nthambeleni; Waanders, Frans (EARET, 2018)
    Coal processing in the refinery industry often lead to the formation of coal tar containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are likely to affect human and animal health when released in surface and ground waters. ...

    Photocatalytic degradation of azo and rhodamine dyes using copper (ii) oxide nanoparticles 

    Mbu, Etchu E.; Malenga, Edward; Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Dodoo-Arhin, David; Ntwampe, Seteno K. (EARET, 2018)
    Fresh water pollution by dyes from various industries is raising a lot of concern lately. Despite their well-known toxicity to humans, azo dyes make up over half of the used dye population. Rhodamines are also a well-used ...

    Assessment of the performance of SDS-impregnated brewery waste as suitable adsorbent for the removal of Pb and Cd from water 

    Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Leamy, Meiklejohn; Akinpelu, Enoch; Waanders, Frans (EARET, 2018)
    — Due to increasing populations and an ever-changing climate, limited water resources are South Africa’s burden. Clean water is important for all living organisms’ health and environmental sustainability. To achieve ...
