Soil quality in the basin of mine effluents and the potential of alleviation of metal dispersion
(CUMTP, 2014)
The soils along the basin ofmine effluent were investigated for their role in the mitigation of the
pollution of river water in the residential areas around Potchefstroom in South Africa.The results showed that the
soils ...
Metal ions adsorption affinity of clayey materials from the North West Province of South Africa
(CUMTP, 2014)
Local clays that are abundant in the periphery of Potchefstroom in South Africa were characterized and
investigated as potential sorbents for the removal of metal ions from effluents. The clay samples mostly contained
...
Physico-chemical activation of South African bentonite clay and impact on metal adsorption capacity
(PSRC, 2014)
The aim of the project is to investigate the influence of physico-chemical activation on the metal adsorption capacities of natural bentonite clay from the North West Province of South Africa. The clay has been characterized ...
Colouring of dolomite, quartzite and dolerite mine dump rocks
(EARET, 2018)
For environmental and aesthetic purposes it has
become essential that mine dump rocks either blend into the
environment or be used in the production of other products.
Lately, there has been a constant need to produce ...
Performance of various cyanide degrading bacteria on the biodegradation of free cyanide
(EARET, 2018)
This study reports on the biodegradation of free
cyanide (FCN) by cyanide degrading bacteria (CDB) that were
isolated from mining wastewater and in thiocyanate containing
wastewater. The performance of these isolates ...
Impact of solubilising matrices for TiCl4 on the formation of TiO2 nanoparticles
(EARET, 2018)
Several nanoparticles (Cu2O, SnO, ZnO)
have been intensively studied and applied in wastewater
treatment research, with TiO2 gaining popularity because
of its stability, affordability, large band gap, recyclability
and ...
Potential toxic elements contamination of soils in O’Kiep, an arid region of Namaqualand, South Africa
(EARET, 2018)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the geochemical
background and spatial distribution patterns of selected potential
toxic elements (PTEs) in ten sub-surface soil samples (n=10)
collected in the former copper mining ...
Pretreatment of coal power plant ro retentate using AR Floc 100
(EARET, 2018)
The water purification process at Eskom includes a
reverse osmosis (RO) treatment plant. There are several
limitations to this process depending on the water characteristics.
The most common problems limiting the success ...
