- Description: In order to understand the effects of metals contained in effluent and to define effluent quality suitable for safe discharge to natural water streams, it is essential to understand the effects of the interaction of metal ions with plants. The availability of metal ions and their ability to bind to plants are dependent on the chemical speciation of metals and on the biological factors governing the availability of metals within the plant cells. This thesis will address both aspects and thereby propose a combination of an appropriate chemical and biological approach to the investigation of bioaccumulation of the plant Azolla Filiculoides. Laboratory studies have shown that varying concentrations of free metal ions in solution determine efficiency of metal uptake and that metal toxicity can also be detrimental to plant life and efficiency of metal recovery from solution. Many questions however, remain unanswered with regard to the application of a biological treatment for effluent discharge. This thesis includes the determination of metal speciation combined with the study of bioaccumulation of metals in plants and their effects from test- work utilising effluent generated from a Precious Metals Refinery (PMR). Plant species are known to differ widely in their tolerance to metals, however despite an abundant knowledge on molecular, biochemical and physiological effects of metals to plants, only a few general principles have been proposed to guide the prediction of tolerance differences. The properties of protective cellular responses as well as of the molecular target sites are important components in determining the intrinsic tolerance of a particular species to a metal. The role of the whole assembly of cellular ligands in buffering metal ions within the cells will be evaluated. Standard preparation methods combined with use of Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrophotometer (1CP) used for analytical analysis will be included to reflect analytical data in providing evidence to support a conclusion. The outcome of the test work utilising the aquatic plant Azoila has proven that it can be used as a process step to re-mediate effluent generated from Precious Metal Refining operations. This process offers an alternative to the classical chemical methods widely used in the Precious Metals Refining industry proving economically viable and ensuring environmental sustainability in comparison to the current known methods of effluent treatment. , Thesis (MSc) -- Faculty of Science, Biochemistry, Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2003

- Description: This Review and project will discuss and demonstrate the use made of Biotechnology in the production and reduction of metals. It will look at how and why metal binding takes place, known platinum group metal speciation will be included. Examples of how to improve metal binding efficiency will be discussed by stimulating ligand activity by polarisation. Various biotechnical options available, with emphasis placed on the use of the aquatic fern and algae will be given as examples of biological treatment of heavy metals in particular the aquatic fern Azolla. The method of standard preparation and the use of Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrophotometer (ICP) used for analytical analysis will be included so that consideration can be given to the collection of analytical data in the provision of evidence to support or provide a conclusion. The outcome of the test work utilising the aquatic plant Azolla has proven that it can be used to remediate platinum refinery effluent. This process can offer an alternative to the classical chemical method normally used, which is economically viable and environmentally friendly in comparison to the common methods of refinery effluent treatment. , Thesis (MSc) -- Faculty of Science, Biochemistry, Microbiology and Biotechnology, 200u

- Description: This introduction and ensuing essay are something in the nature of a personal confession. Deemed as such what I have written concerning Samuel Palmer has not, in any way, been written as an exercise, but rather for the purpose of self-edification. This I will elaborate upon while disclosing my motive for writing on Palmer. Palmer's works - when I first saw them - were something of a revelation. They seemed the alpha and omega of my own artistic endeavour. Perhaps the term which best describes the euphoria I felt is 1deja vu1, because although it describes a connectedness of sorts, the words have in their sound an exotic ring. There is in it an implied equivocation - and equivocality best describes my understanding of Samuel Palmer at that juncture. This euphoria I felt dimmed with the realisation that by purportedly claiming, as I was, Samuel Palmer's visionary landscapes as my goal I was treading on sacred ground; I'd arrived, as it were, in another's Paradise. The effects of this upon my own creativity were completely negative. Worse still, I lacked the necessary means to extricate myself from Palmer's paradisiacal visions. His influence was incapacitating and convoluting my own growth. It was obvious then that I had to be rid of Samuel Palmer. , Thesis (MSc) -- Faculty of Science, Zoology and Entomology, 1939
