A series of heteroleptic mixed ligand complexes of some alkyl substituted thiourea, tetramethyl thiuram disulfide and 1-cyano-1-carboethoxy-2,2 ditholate of Zn(II) Cd(II) and Hg(II) have been synthesized by stoichiometry ...
Agathosma betulina (Buchu) and Filipendula ulmaria (Meadowsweet) are popular herbal plants used in South Africa. These plants have been used as herbal medicines for the treatment of several diseases for years but without ...
The research described in this dissertation was motivated by the global demand for energy that is not dependent on coal, oil, natural gas and other non-renewable fossil fuels. The technology used in this project is related ...
Various methods for the production of bioethanol using different feedstocks have been researched on. In most work on bioethanol synthesis from sugar cane, tops and leaves have been regarded as waste and generally removed ...
Mafukidze, Donovan M(University of Fort Hare, 2015)
PMPSgLig-NaMMT nanocomposites were prepared from methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS), lignocellulose and montmorillonite clay. The potential enhancement of organic pollutant adsorption capabilities of PMPSgLig-NaMMT ...
In this study, a series of Ru(II) phenyl-3-indenylidene complexes with general formula of [RuCl2(NHC)(Ind)(L)] (where L= triphenylphosphine, pyridine and NHC = five different types of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands), have ...

Botha, Nandipha Loveness(University of Fort Hare, 2015)
Six dithiocarbamate ligands were synthesized from anisidine, aniline, ethyl aniline, butyl amine, morpholine and piperidine and used to synthesize homoleptic copper(II) dithiocarbamate complexes. The ligands and their ...
Biomass gasification has attracted the interest of researchers because it produces zero carbon to the atmosphere. This technology does not only produce syngas but also the by-products which can be used for various applications ...
Mungondori, Henry H.(University of Fort Hare, 2015)
The use of titanium dioxide for the photo-catalytic removal of organic, inorganic, and microbial pollutants from natural water and wastewater has been considered a very promising technique. The aim of this study was to ...
Ni(II) and Pb(II) dithiocarbamate complexes were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, FTIR and TGA and some of the Ni(II) complexes and one Pb(II) were further analyzed by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR ...
The demand for fossil fuels has resulted in decrease in natural resources and created negative impacts on the environment. These negative impacts require the development of alternative sources of energy that are environmentally ...
