Synthesis and characterisation of low-cost biopolymeric/mineral composite systems and evaluation of their potential application for heavy metal removal
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Heavy metal pollution and waste management are two major environmental problems faced in the world today. Anthropogenic sources of heavy metals, especially effluent from industries, are serious environmental and health ... -
Explaining marine debris on New Zealand beaches: Empirical beach litter data and an evaluation of waste management practices
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Anthropogenic marine debris (AMD) is a widely researched topic, particularly for its impacts on marine wildlife. Terrestrial sources of AMD are substantial, increasing, and primarily considered a result of mismanaged waste. ... -
Calcium phosphate precipitation from whey permeate
(The University of Waikato, 2001)Currently the New Zealand Dairy Industry manufactures a very successful milk calcium product known as ALAMINTM by the precipitation of calcium phosphates (CaP) from various heated whey permeate streams. The main scientific ... -
Characterisation and applications of marine derived calcium phosphates and carbonates
(The University of Waikato, 2018)The purpose of this study was to characterise extensively, and process fishbone derived and shellfish mineral powders, followed by the investigation of potential applications for these materials. A variety of spectroscopic, ... -
An investigation of beryllium coordination chemistry using electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry
(The University of Waikato, 2018)The electrospray ionisation mass spectrometric behaviour of various complexes of beryllium have been investigated in this thesis. These beryllium complexes were prepared in situ on a small scale by preparing appropriate ...
