    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 ...

    Biosorption of cadmium from water using surfactant impregnated eggshell 

    Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Steenekamp, Gerhard; Akinpelu, Enoch; Waanders, Frans (EARET, 2018)
    Cadmium (Cd) is regarded as one of the most toxic elements and it causes water pollution when it exceeds the permissible limit. It is currently present in the Mooi River above these permitted levels, and must therefore ...

    Hydrothermal synthesis, characterization and adsorption testing of MoS2-Zeolite for the removal of lead in an aqueous solution 

    Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Spiro, Martin; Waanders, Frans; Kumar, Neeraj; Ray, Suprakas Sinha (EARET, 2018)
    The shortage of water can be worsened by the pollution of limited water resources by industrial activities such as mining which contribute to significant level of toxic heavy metals in the environments. Heavy metals ...

    Reduction of salinity of water using acrylamide-based polyampholyte 

    Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Varachia, Hasan; Waanders, Frans (EARET, 2018)
    Polyampholytes are charged macromolecules, which carry both acidic and basic groups. These groups dissociate, leaving ions on chains and counter ions in solution, under appropriate conditions, ...

    Effect of temperature and cathode material on power production in an earthenware microbial fuel cell 

    Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Rosslee, Gerhard; Pandey, Sadanand; Waanders, Frans; Marx, Sanette (EARET, 2018)
    This study investigates the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) fed with municipal sewage water considering parameters such as temperature and cathode materials. Single chamber ceramic MFCs with the cathode exposed ...

    Sol-gel preparations of ZnO/SnO2 composite photocatalysts applied for the degradation of PAH’s under visible light 

    Mukwevho, Nthambeleni; Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Waanders, Frans; Bunt, John; De Bruyn, Dewald (EARET, 2018)
    Wastewater treatment challenges faced by conventional methods have necessitated the need for alternative/complementary methods that are environmentally benign and efficient especially toward recalcitrant organic pollutants. ...

    Prediction of dissolution of copper from a chalcopyrite carbonatite ore of South Africa 

    Barlow, Brad; Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Nyembwe, Kolela; Waanders, Frans; Malenga, Edward Ntumba (EARET, 2018)
    Chalcopyrite accounts for 70% of all copper bearing minerals and therefore has been studied closely to understand the dissolution kinetics in hope of overcoming the passivation film and increasing the extraction rates ...

    Mineralogical observation made during the kinetic dissolution study of chalcopyrite mineral in sulphate media under free pH at room temperature 

    Nyembwe, Kolela J.; Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Waanders, Frans; Malenga, Edward Ntumba (EARET, 2018)
    An attempt to determine the various phenomena at play and leaching mechanism of chalcopyrite dissolution, was conducted on a chalcopyrite concentrate. The study was performed at atmospheric conditions (room temperature) ...

    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. ...

    Removal of COD from biodiesel wastewater using a hydrophobic polymer 

    Fosso-Kankeu, Elvis; Van den Berg, Marcelle; Waanders, Frans; Pandey, Sadanand (EARET, 2018)
    Biodiesel production is increasing internationally as an alternative fuel. This is due to the rapid depletion of non-renewable energy sources. Pure biodiesel product can be obtained by washing the product with hot water. ...
