Predicting greywater reuse for potable and non-potable purposes in a developing country – a theory of planned behaviour approach

Oteng-Peprah, Michael; Acheampong, Mike Agbesi; De Vries, Nanne K. (University of Cape Coast, 2019)

This study was aimed at predicting grey water reuse in a municipality of a developing country using the theory of planned behavior (TPB). It sought to identify the beliefs that influence people’s intentions to reuse grey ...
Potential production of biodiesel from green microalgae

Tulashie, Samuel Kofi; Salifu, Siisu (University of Cape Coast, 2016)

This work involves the study of the potential production of biodiesel from green microalgae. The green microalgae were cultured and treated with different nutrient concentrations of 0, 0.175, 0.35, 2 and 4 g in the ...
Potential of chiral solvents for enantioselective crystallization. 1. evaluation of thermodynamic effects

Tulashie, Samuel Kofi; Lorenz, Heike; Hilfert, Liane; Edelmann, Frank Thomas; Seidel-Morgenstern, Andreas (University of Cape Coast, 2008)
