Author:Maumau, Thandiwe R; Modibedi, Remegia M; Mathe, Mahlanyane KDate:May 2018Mono and binary Pd-Au based catalysts were synthesized using the NaBH4 assisted ethylene glycol reduction method. The catalysts were supported on Vulcan XC 72 carbon black and denoted as Pd/C, Au/C, Pd(Au/C) and Pd-Au/C co-reduction. Pd:Au ...Read more
Author:Maponya, TG; Makgopa, K; Somo, TR; Tshwane, David M; Modibane, KDDate:Dec 2023Herein, a metal–organic framework (MIL-101(Cr)) was synthesized and functionalized with ethylenediamine-glutaraldehyde (ED-GA for removal of palladium (Pd2+) and platinum (Pt4+) from wastewater. The chemical structure, surface properties, ...Read more
Author:Mashangoane, BF; Chirwa, EN; Mahlathi, Christopher DDate:May 2023Palladium is a rare platinum group metal concentrated in the Earth's core and mantle; because of its scarcity, its waste recovery and reuse options are economically appealing. Traditional strategies for extracting PGMs from effluents have a ...Read more
Author:Mkwizu, TS; Modibedi, Remegia M; Mathe, Mahlanyane KDate:May 2011This work will describe our recent advances in room-temperature, sequential electrochemical deposition (in aqueous media) of nanostructured multimetallic systems of variable composition, and morphologies, directly onto carbon supports such ...Read more
