Production of bioethanol from paper sludge using simultaneous saccharification and fermentation

Robus, Charles Louis Loyalty (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Whereas fuel used for transport and electricity production are mainly fossil–derived, there has recently been an increased focus on bio-fuels due to the impact of fossil derived fuel on the environment ...
Pyrolysis of Eucalyptus grandis

Joubert, Jan-Erns (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In recent times, governments around the world have placed increasing focus on cleaner technologies and sustainable methods of power generation in an attempt to move away from fossil fuel derived power, ...
Establishing a pilot plant facility for post combustion carbon dioxide capture studies

Kritzinger, Liaan Rudolf (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is seen as one of the main contributors to global warming. The use of fossil fuels for power production leads to large quantities of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. ...
Measurement of surface tension in base metal sulphide mattes by an improved sessile drop method

Hamuyuni, Joseph (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: See item for full text
Simulation of tribological interactions in bonded particle-solid contacts

Van Wyk, Geritza (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this study, tool forces from rock cutting tests were numerically simulated through a discrete element method (DEM) in association with PFC3D™. Tribological interactions such as contact, shearing, ...
The extraction of precious metals from an alkaline cyanided medium by granular activated carbon

Ngoie Mpinga, Cleophace (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A 2 stage heap leach process to extract base and precious metals from the Platreef ore is currently being investigated industrially. A first stage bioleach is used to extract the base metals. In the 2nd ...
Characterisation and desalination of typical South African abalone farm effluent sea water

Steynberg, Leander Duvan (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Nearly all South African abalone farms function on an intensive pump-ashore, flow-through system. Large volumes of sea water that are pumped ashore flow through abalone or kelp harvesting tanks and finally ...
Process modelling of sugar mill biomass to energy conversion processes and energy integration of pyrolysis

Nsaful, Frank (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The sugar industry over the years has been producing sugarcane bagasse as part of the sugar milling process. Currently this sugar mill biomass is incinerated inefficiently as a means of their disposal to ...
Production and glycosylation of a recombinant protein from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells

De Villiers, Ann-Marie (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Recombinant glycoproteins are important biopharmaceuticals, providing solutions for numerous previously untreatable illnesses, in everything from cancer to infertility. Most recombinant biopharmaceuticals ...
Study of the plasma based production of tetrafluoroethylene

Nell, Annalien (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1999-06)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A method was developed at the Atomic Energy Corporation of South Africa (AEC) for the plasma based production of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE). The process involves the feeding of carbon particles into a ...

Bezuidenhout, Sol (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2003-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: TheSouthAfrican economy islargely dependant on small enterprisesas a valuable source of job creation, gross domestic product as well as product development and innovation, However, unfortunately ...
Carbon dioxide reaction in aqueous amine solutions

Machinga, Phineas (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: See item for full text
Comparisons of the technical, financial risk and life cycle assessments of various processing options of sugercane bagasse to biofuels in South Africa

Petersen, Abdul Muhaymin (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Through many years of research, a number of production schemes have been developed for converting lignocellulosic biomass into transport fuels. These technologies have been assessed through a number of ...
Change-point detection in dynamical systems using auto-associative neural networks

Bulunga, Meshack Linda (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this research work, auto-associative neural networks have been used for changepoint detection. This is a nonlinear technique that employs the use of artificial neural networks as inspired among other ...
Modeling & optimisation of coarse multi-vesiculated particles

Clarke, Stephen Armour (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Multi-vesiculated particles (MVP) are synthetic insoluble polymeric particles containing a multitude of vesicles (micro-voids). The particles are generally produced and used as a suspension in an aqueous ...
