Author:Madzivire, G; Gitari, WM; Kumar Vadapalli, VR; Ojumu, TV; Petrik, LFDate:Oct 2011The treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD) and circumneutral mine water (CMW) with South African coal fly ash (FA) provides a low cost and alternative technique for treating mine wastes waters. The sulphate concentration in AMD can be reduced ...Read more
Author:Ameh, AE; Fatoba, OO; Musyoka, Nicholas M; Petrik, LFDate:Jan 2017In this study zeolite NaA with different crystal sizes and % crystallinity was prepared from a clear solution extract of fused fly ash. Sodium aluminate or aluminium hydroxide was used to adjust the aluminium content in the fused fly ash ...Read more
Author:Vadapalli, VRK; Gitari, MW; Petrik, LF; Etchebers, O; Ellendt, ADate:Jan 2012Fly Ash (FA) from a power station in South Africa was investigated to neutralise and remove contaminants from Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). After this primary treatment the insoluble FA residue namely solid residue (SR) was investigated as a ...Read more
Author:Pretorius, PJ; Woolard, CDDate:23 Jul 2003The zeolite, Na-P1, was synthesized from fly ash samples originating from coal-fired power stations in South Africa by hydrothermal treatment of the raw ash with concentrated aqueous NaOH solutions. The zeolite was then further modified by ...Read more
Author:Ameh, AE; Musyoka, Nicholas M; Fatoba, OO; Syrtsova, DA; Teplyakov, VV; Petrik, LFDate:Jan 2016Zeolite-NaA membranes were synthesized from an extract of fused South African fly ash on a porous titanium support by a secondary growth method. The influence of the synthesis molar regime on the formation of zeolite NaA membrane layer was ...Read more
