An air quality assessment in the industrialised western Bushveld Igneous Complex, South Africa
(ASSAf, 2012)South Africa has the largest industrialised economy in Africa, with significant mining and metallurgical activities. A large fraction of the South African mineral assets is concentrated in the Bushveld Igneous Complex ... -
Bird species richness and densities in relation to sulphur dioxide gradients and environmental variables
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)The expansion of coal-fired power stations in South Africa has resulted in growing environmental concerns as they are the largest emitters of sulphur dioxide (SO2). Sulphur dioxide emissions from power plants pose a potential ... -
The effect of rapid thermal annealing on sputtered Pt and Pt3Pd2 thin film electrocatalysts for aqueous SO2 electro-oxidation
(Springer, 2016)Insight into the effect that rapid thermal annealing (RTA) has on the structural and electrochemical characteristics of sputtered Pt and Pt3Pd2 thin film electrocatalysts is communicated. The DC magnetron sputtered thin ... -
Interaction of SO2 with the Platinum (001), (011), and (111) surfaces: a DFT study
(MDPI, 2020)Given the importance of SO2 as a pollutant species in the environment and its role in the hybrid sulphur (HyS) cycle for hydrogen production, we carried out a density functional theory study of its interaction with the Pt ... -
SO2 - an indirect source of energy
(SAIMM, 2013)Global sulphur dioxide (SO ) emissions peaked around the mid- 1970s, after which they declined. However, with the growth of specifically China, emissions are on the rise again. In 2008, global anthropogenic SO emissions ... -
SO2-drought interaction on crop yield, photosynthesis and symbiotic nitrogen fixation in soybean (Glycine max)
(Springer, 2013)South Africa has an energy-intensive economy, resulting in substantial SO2 pollution. Well watered and drought stressed soybean (Glycine max) were exposed to SO2 in open-top chambers to study the physiology of SO2 injury ...
