The present work demonstrates the performance of hollow fibre membranes fabricated using polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene (EPS) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coupled with 30% monoethanolamine (MEA) in a gas liquid membrane contactor (GLMC) for absorption carbon dioxide. A mixture composition (50/50 v/v%) methane (CH4) (CO2) was used to assess efficiency prepared removal Then HFM 3 which showed high CO2 separate nitrogen (N2)/oxygen(O2)/carbon dioxide (73/18/9 v/v%), respectively. Four...
The addition of nanoparticles in amine solutions to produce a stable amine-based nanofluid provides high surface area for absorption and improves the rate. In this work, nanofluids were prepared by dispersing graphene oxide (GO) monoethanolamine (MEA) ethylenediamine (EDA) adsorption carbon dioxide (CO
Warwick Junction in Durban is a hive of informal sector activity, mainly street vending, which sustains several families and around Durban. There an abundance literature on vending as part the sector. Challenges specific to women engaged at have attracted little attention new millennium. A qualitative study using interviewing was conducted with ten purposefully sampled participants. The aim describe challenges faced by vendors. This reports findings provides set recommendations. Several...
Abstract Enhancing the catalytic activity of supported nanocatalysts is an effective strategy to mitigate costly catalyst separation processes in many industrial processes. In this study, polysulfone (PS) membranes decorated with in-situ synthesized palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) were fabricated. The characterised by SEM, XRD, SAXSpace, FTIR, TEM, AFM, contact angle measurements and EDS. Effect different amounts PdNPs on physicochemical properties, water flux, for reduction 4-nitrophenol...
