The North-West University (NWU) has pioneered the novel use of Europium-Tellurium-Oxide (ETO) in the production of clean energy. ETO is a light-chargeable catalyst material that exhibits sustained and enhanced activity after light excitation has ended. Its unique characteristics present an

The invention relates to a novel process of partial oxidation of un-agglomerated chromite ore in ferrochrome production processes. The process includes the steps: Providing a source of un-agglomerated chromite ore; subjecting the source of un-agglomerated chromite ore to pre-oxidation at a

Industrial electrowinning is one such example where archaic technology has become the norm, with innovation being limited simply because the process is “good enough”. After doing a fundamental analysis on the electrowinning process, the design team has invented a dynamic solution which improves on

Oceans hold the promise of immense resource wealth and great potential for boosting economic growth, employment, and innovation. South Africa is surrounded by vast oceans with immense potential as an untapped resource—the potential to contribute billions of rand to the GDP and offer employment to

1. Executive Summary Oreconnect Projects is an SMME based in Postmasburg, Northern Cape, specializing in the deployment of Mobile Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). We bridge the gap between fixed energy infrastructure and the immediate, high-capacity power needs of the mining, industrial, and
