About Dr Machodi Jeremiah Mathaba

Research Interests 

Membrane Technology, Industrial wastewater and Acid Mine Drainage Treatment, Indigenous Knowledge Systems, Renewable Energy and Combustion Engineering.

Dr Mathaba s research areas include development of polymeric composite membranes for the treatment of industrial wastewater and Acid Mine Drainage. Investigation of Indigenous Knowledge Practices with engineering and science principles embedded in them, such brewing of traditional beer (umqombothi). He is also focusing on renewable energy research investigating the production of green ammonia by combining Nitrogen extracted from air and Hydrogen obtained from water through electrolysis. He is also working on the co-firing of ammonia in coal combustion boilers.
