Irrigation is an essential part of commercial agriculture. The water and energy used in typical large-scale irrigation systems can be substantial. As water becomes a scarcer resource its responsible use and conservation become imperative. The same is true of energy especially in territories where...

The researchers at Stellenbosch University have developed a technology for the radiometric correction of high spatial resolution imagery (aerial or UAV).  The imagery is calibrated to approximate surface reflectance by fusing with concurrent and collocated satellite imagery.  The technique allows...

The mobile application teaches fundamental computer programming concepts in a competitive, engaging, and playful way. Designed for students aged 10 to 14, the app features a military tank navigating through a maze, following directions provided by physical puzzle tokens. With 20 levels, players...

The technology is a membrane for treating acid mine drainage that is reproducible and can handle large discharges of acid mine drainage. It is suitable for implementation in a filtration cartridge setup that allows for the reclamation of metals which can then be recycled and used for other...

The invention relates to a novel process of partial oxidation of un-agglomerated chromite ore in ferrochrome production processes.

The process includes the steps:

1. Providing a source of un-agglomerated chromite ore;
2. subjecting the source of un-agglomerated chromite ore to pre-oxidation at a...

The skin represents the first physical barrier to protect our bodies from harmful toxins, pathogens and dangerous environmental factors and plays an important role in social and visual experiences. South Africans have used traditional herbal medicinal products to increase immunity in...

The cost of building materials contributes significantly to overall construction costs, with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) being one of the main components.  The production of OPC is not environmentally friendly. It is energy-intensive, uses natural resources such as limestone, and produces high...

With our society facing challenges related to sustainability i.e. resource depletion and waste accumulation, the future success of the chemical and polymer industries relies on the use of renewable feedstocks.

Lignin, one of the main components of non-edible lignocellulosic biomass shows great...

SiMo Green Eco bricks and blocks is an idea that come about when it became clear that the world is heading in a direction of a greener economy. The making of bricks and blocks involves the use of raw materials that when extracted have a substantial burden on the contribution to Global warming. As a...

Fly ash is a waste by-product generated by coal-fired electricity power stations. Due to its environmental impact, there is a growing need for safe and sustainable methods of fly ash disposal. One effective approach is the beneficiation of fly ash through the production of zeolites—a class of...
