Author:North, Brian C; Engelbrecht, AD; Hadley, TDDate:Nov 2005It is generally accepted that global warming is a reality, and that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are the cause of the warming. One method to reduce the effective CO2 release from boilers is to replace some of the coal with biomass, as combustion ...Read more
Author:Engelbrecht, A; North, Brian C; Oboirien, B; Majozi, T; Madzivhandila, VDate:Jun 2011South Africa has abundant resources of high-ash and other low-quality coals. The aim of this work is to investigate the possibility of using fluidised bed gasification technology to convert these coals at a high efficiency into clean fuel gas ...Read more

Author:De Beer, Morris; Mathews, EH; Krueger, D; Maree, J; Mbhele, FN; Phalanndwa, M; Novhe, NODate:Mar 2008Traditionally acid mine water is neutralised with lime. Limestone is a cheaper alternative for such applications. A case study showed that limestone can be used effectively to replace lime for the neutralization of arsenic rich acid water. ...Read more
Author:Engelbrecht, Andre D; North, Brian C; Oboirien, BilainuDate:Oct 2017Chemical-looping combustion (CLC) of coal has emerged as a clean coal technology that can potentially be applied for the efficient combustion of coal while producing flue gas that has a CO2 concentration of greater than 99 %. An important ...Read more
