Author:Roos, Thomas HDate:Oct 2021The decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors globally will require significant volumes of carbon-free hydrogen. An investigation has been performed to determine the cost at which hydrogen can be generated by electrolysis using renewable ...Read more
Author:Knoesen, D; Arendse, C; Halindintwali, S; Muller, TDate:Jan 2008One of the prime components of a hot-wire (Cat) Chemical Vapor Deposition system is the filament used to pyro-catalytically crack the gases like silane. Burnt out tantalum filaments were studied to determine the possible improvement of lifetime ...Read more
Author:Du Plessis, A; Strydom, CA; Uys, H; Botha, L; Roberts, T; Dlamini, THDate:Sep 2010Femtosecond laser control of chemical reactions is made possible through the use of pulse-shaping techniques coupled to a learning algorithm feedback loop – teaching the laser pulse to control the chemical reaction. This can result in ...Read more
Author:Jamison, Kevin A; Naidoo, Purusha; Ramotsabi, KatlehoDate:Nov 2022The South African government is investing in the use of hydrogen fuel as a pathway towards decarbonising transport sectors. Hydrogen is likely to be a viable option for decarbonising air transport and it is being investigated intensively ...Read more
Author:Swartbooi, Ashton; Kapanji-Kakoma, KK; Musyoka, Nicholas MDate:Sep 2022Biogas is a renewable feedstock that can be used to produce hydrogen through the decomposition of biomethane. However, the economics of the process are not well studied and understood, especially in cases where solid carbons are also produced, ...Read more
Author:Singh, M; Mukoma, Peter; North, Brian C; Majozi, TDate:Dec 2020Fossil fuels have earned a reputation as unsustainable sources of energy, due to the release of carbon emissions that are attributable to global warming. To overcome the extensive release of carbon emissions into the environment, different ...Read more
Author:Wakelin, J; McKechnie, AE; Woodborne, SMDate:Jul 2010The Blue Swallow (Hirundo atrocaerulea) is a threatened intra-African migrant with breeding populations in three geographically disjunct regions. We analysed stable hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon isotope ratios in feather keratin to determine ...Read more
