Photo-initiated reactions involve the use of ultraviolet (UV) or visible light radiation to effect chemical transformations. Some of the advantages of photo-initiated reactions over thermal or high pressure reactions include ...

This thesis includes both experimental and modelling studies on the treatment of drinking water. Three aspects were studied: (i) removal of fluoride (F– ) by adsorption, (ii) removal of fluoride and other contaminants by ...

Non-conventional techniques for polymerization and depolymerization were investigated. The rates of polymerization were enhanced higher in ultrasonic, supercritical fluids and microwaves. However in these system under ...

M. tuberculosis (Mtb) senses and responds to changes in its environment primar-ily through two-component signalling systems (TCSs). Each TCS contains a trans-membrane histidine kinase (HK ) protein and a cytoplasmic response ...

Separation of dissolved metals from aqueous solutions using liquid membrane technology is highly advantageous owing to the degree of separation achieved, efficiency and application potential. In the present investigation ...
