Selective recovery of base and precious metals from printed circuit board physical processing dust (Vaal University of Technology, 2020-02)Dust generated during comminution of end of life printed circuit boards (PCB), typically having d80 of 212 μm, contains copper and gold up to 6.32 % and 635 g/ton, respectively. The dust particles being highly diverse in ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2018)Solid titanium (Ti), Ti-6Al-4V (wt.%), and Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn (wt.%) materials were fabricated from powders using spark plasma sintering (SPS). The starting materials comprised of elemental powders of ASTM Grade 4 titanium ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2017-12-15)Sisal is a vegetable fibre extracted from the leaves of Agave Sisalana. The fibre is long, bold and creamy white in colour besides being exceptionally strong. It can be used for making agricultural and parcelling twines ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2019-12)Presently, the current membrane technologies used in oil/water separation are inefficient with poor controllability and stability during oil/water separation. The has led to the current problem of membrane fouling and ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2020-08)This work is an investigation in the development and characterisation of porous Ti-Sn-SiC and Ti-Nb-SiC composites. Pure Titanium (Ti), Tin (Sn), Niobium (Nb) and Silicon carbide (SiC) powders were used as starting materials. ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2021-11)The subject of maintenance optimisation is not new, and many researchers have explored it. However, it is seen that one optimisation solution cannot be used in all industries. Each industry and equipment thereof are unique ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2022-08)Cracked concrete slabs are a problem due to several factors such as poor maintenance, insufficient reinforcement or steel corrosion leading to crack propagation. There is a need to increase the load-bearing capacity of ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2020-06)On account of their lightweight, low-cost, corrosion resistance, and good formability, conductive polymer composites (CPCs) are promising for the production bipolar plate (BP) for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2021-12-08)The purpose of this study was to design a composite overwrapped pressure vessel by combining the best optimal structural options. This study investigated the effects of constituents such as fibre and shell thickness, on ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2022-03-07)The developed oil-water separation membranes used in membrane technology are currently inefficient due to their poor morphological and topographical properties during nanoparticle coating. Researchers have developed different ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2022-02-22)In this research study, a scheme to minimise interference in converged mobile cellular networks (MCNs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) was designed and implemented. The focus was the mitigation of interference that ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2020-08)The purpose of this study was to develop a design synthesis approach that can be used to reach an optimal design solution (in terms of the strength, stiffness and weight) of automotive body structures during the conceptual ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2018-12)The production of austenitic stainless-steel pump impellers in foundries present a huge challenge mainly due to its thin-walled blades, pouring temperature, presence of junctions and chemical composition. Two different ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2020-01-21)Fault diagnosis of a rotor system operating in a fluid is one of the most difficult aspects of rotating machinery. Fluid in machinery plays a significant role in concealing the allowable rubbing stress limit during the ...
-
(Vaal University of Technology, 2020-12-02)Though aluminium (Al) is justifiably described as a green metal with an increasing rate of application in structures, designers still restrain themselves from its applications as a load-bearing skeleton in structure due ...
