Title: | Electrochemical analysis of selected polychlorinated biphenyls and contaminated water remediation using polyaniline coated sawdust | Authors: | Oluoch, Okumu Fredrick | Keywords: | Elecrochemical analysis;Polychlorinated biphenyls -- Environmental aspects;Water -- Pollution control devices;Water -- Purification -- Technological innovations | Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | Cape Peninsula University of Technology | Abstract: | Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are known harmful chemicals which require urgent remediation, monitoring and assessment in the environment. The predominant current methods used to analyze PCBs involve expertise and are cost intensive. Most of these methods are chromatographic based techniques which are difficult to sustain in Africa due to the expensive nature of the instrument, costly running expenses and skilled labour required. These limitations face Africans, who are the most affected by the presence of PCBs in their environment as a result of improper disposal and usage of these compounds. | Description: | Thesis (MTech (Chemistry))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11838/2325 |
