Factors involved in the oligomerisation of the cyanide dihydratase from Bacillus pumilus C1 by Mulelu, Andani Errol

“…This enzyme is a good candidate for bioremediation of cyanide waste but the high alkaline pH of the cyanide waste water poses a problem in that it inactivates the wild type enzyme and therefore improvement of stability is required in order to synthesize an effective enzyme. …”

Quantifying land-based sources of plastic pollution in South Africa by Weideman, Eleanor A

“…Most studies to date predict the flux of litter from land to sea using global models based on a handful of field studies conducted mostly in developed, Northern Hemisphere countries; others use proxies such as per capita waste generation and proportion of mismanaged waste to predict litter loads entering the sea. …”

Weak acid/bases and pH control in upflow anaerobic sludge bed reactors by Moosbrugger, Richard Engelbert

“…Against the background described above, the following tasks were set: • Development of a simple method for simultaneous determination of the H₂CO₃*alkalinity (carbonate system alkalinity) and SCFA concentration in anaerobic systems to be used in, (1) assessing the H₂CO₃*alkalinity requirements of different types of wastes when treated in UASB systems, (2) monitoring process stability when treating these wastes under different operating conditions, e.g. different recycle ratios. • Assessment of H₂CO₃*alkalinity requirements for Iauter tun (brewery) waste to maintain a near neutral minimum bed pH in UASB systems. …”

Systematic investigation of potential factors that affect the production costs of the bio-based and bio-degradable plastic polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) by a costing analysis based... by Rumjeet, Shilpa

“…A transition is needed to shift the global economy to a more sustainable and clean economy to counteract the depletion of abiotic resources, generation of emissions and waste. Replacing petroleum plastics by bio-plastics is key to this move. …”

The use of mediation to resolve environmental disputes in South Africa and Switzerland by Alder, Juerg

“…On the basis 4 of several cases in which mediation or mediation-type activities were used to resolve the environmental conflict I want to show why, in the end, environmental mediation probably will never be so widespread in Switzerland as it is in other countries. …”
