Modelling nanoparticles parameters for antimicrobial activity
(Springer, 2020)
The current study reveals the antimicrobial activity of various nanoparticles (NPs) against numerous microorganisms through statistical models that define suitable parameters to improve the antimicrobial efficacy of NPs. ...
Investigation of structural and optical properties of biosynthesized Zincite (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) via an aqueous extract of Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaves
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2020)
Biosynthesized Zincite nanoparticles have been successfully demonstrated by a completely green process mediated aqueous extract of rosemary leaves acting as both reducing and stabilizing agents and zinc nitrate hexahydrate ...
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 ...
Seasonal variation of hydrochemical characteristics of open-pit groundwater near a closed metalliferous mine in O’Kiep, Namaqualand Region, South Africa
(Springer, 2020)
In this study, the hydrochemical characteristic changes of open-pit groundwater (OPGW) near a closed metalliferous mine proposed for drinking and irrigation usage were investigated. Water samples from an OPGW in O’Kiep ...
Groundwater as an alternative source to irregular surface water in the O'Kiep area, Namaqualand, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2019)
Water insecurity is a growing concern globally and the role of groundwater and aquifers in buffering the effects of climate variability and change is increasingly acknowledged due to extended periods of drought in arid ...
Households water quality in O’Kiep-South Africa and community perception of related health risks
(Balaban Publishers, 2019)
South Africa faced challenges related to potable water quality that has periodically deteriorated,
coupled with inconsistent supply of tap water (TW) to households. These challenges are a primary
exasperation in the arid ...
Up-flow vs downflow anaerobic digester reactor configurations for treatment of fats-oil-grease laden poultry slaughterhouse wastewater: a review
(IWA Publishing, 2020)
The process of anaerobic digestion has been and still remains the most efficient, cost effective and environmentally benign treatment process for poultry slaughterhouse wastewater (PSW). The PSW is characterized by a high ...
