Gas Separation
While gas permeation studies form an intrinsic characterisation tool both for the inorganic as well as organic membranes for various applications, there are ongoing projects focussing specifically on the resolution of various perfluorinated compounds. These projects focus mainly on finding membrane based separation processes to replace…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/crb/research-groups/membrane-technology/background
Background: Membrane Technology
Key Research Areas Research Focus The aim of our research group is to find novel, cost effective and environmentally friendly membrane based separation solutions for industrial as well as rural applications with a specific emphasis on South African relevance. There are two cross-linked key areas of interest within our research…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/crb/research-groups/membrane-technology/publication-and-patents

The CRB focuses on adding value to the SA national mineral and chemical resource base found in the North-West and Southern Gauteng provinces. This can be divided into two key knowledge areas, i.e. metal-based resources (such as the platinum group metals and chromium) and carbon-based resources (such as petrochemicals, plant oils and…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/laboratory-for-analytical-services
