Super-porous PVDF nanofibre membranes for efficient desalination of brackish water in membrane distillation applications

Mhlanga S.D., Nthunya L.N., Khumalo N.P., Verliefde A.R., University of South Africa, ZA

Water scarcity is becoming a serious problem in Southern Africa. Recent draughts have called for exploitation of alternative sources of drinking water such as brackish and seawater. Membrane distillation is an efficient desalination process that [...]

A Generalized Model for Global Solar Radiation in South Africa Using Multiple Weather Elements as Predictors

Enweremadu C.C., Adeala A.A., Huan Z., University of South Africa, ZA

In this study a generalized model for predicting global solar radiation was developed for South Africa. This was achieved by employing easily measured weather elements like sunshine hour, ambient temperature, relative humidity and wind speed [...]
