Using mathematical models to track phosphorus in a full-scale wastewater treatment plant by Molefe, Lihlonono Hopewell

“…The challenges associated with pollution, declining nutrients and water shortage, resulted in the need for strategies towards cost effective recovery of nutrients from waste types fed to wastewater treatment systems, to forms that are usable and possibly marketable, while ensuring maintenance of good effluent quality from the plant. …”

Environmental Performance Assessment of Froth Flotation for Coal Recovery and Sulfur Removal from Ultrafine Coal Waste by Fundikwa, Bridget

“…Previous studies have demonstrated the technical feasibility of this process for a number of coal waste types on a laboratory-scale, with results indicating that it is possible to recover large quantities of useable coal whilst generating a tailings waste stream with a reduced sulfur content and negligible ARD risk. …”

Quantifying texture for acid rock drainage characterisation and prediction by Guseva, Olga

“…Recommendations for future work include: the quantitative assessment of the ARDI for meso-scale material; the assessment of detailed characterisation and prediction test leachate chemistry; trace element assessment and deportment throughout UCT batch biokinetic and humidity cell testing; mineralogical and textural assessment on characterisation and prediction test residues during and after tests; an in-depth analysis of the minimal/optimal sample block/sub-sample mass required for minimal error; the assessment of samples using X-ray microcomputed tomography to assess and decrease the effects of stereological bias prevalent in 2D measurements; and the application of a similar texture and mineralogy assessment to additional waste types (such as coal wastes, or waste material containing non-Fe-bearing sulfides).…”
