Cloning of the cnr operon into a strain of Bacillaceae bacterium for the development of a suitable biosorbent
(Springer, 2016)
In this study, a potential microbial biosorbent
was engineered to improve its capacity to remediate heavy
metal contaminated water resources. A Bacillaceae bacterium
isolated from a mining area was transformed with ...
Adsorption of Congo Red by surfactant-impregnated bentonite clay
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Due to an ever-changing climate and invasive foreign plant species increase, South Africa struggles with limited water resources. Water is important for the sustenance of all living organisms and it has to be protected. ...
Structural, compositional and mineralogical characterization of carbonatitic copper sulfide: run of mine, concentrate and tailings
(Springer, 2019)
The aim of this study was to determine the structural, compositional, and mineralogical composition of carbonatitic copper sulfide concentrator plant streams. Three samples, each from a different stream (run of mine (ROM), ...
Investigation of effective chemical flocculation conditions for the treatment of reverse osmosis reject water from coal power plant: a case study
(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 ...
Nano and bio-based technologies for wastewater treatment: prediction and control tools for the dispersion of pollutants in the environment
(Wiley, 2019)
Over the past few decades the boom in the industrial sector has contributed to the release in the environment of pollutants that have no regulatory status and which may have significant impact on the health of animals and ...
