28

Department. He obtained 80% of the R3.5 million for a Pegasus IV GCxGCMS instrument installed in 2009 at UP from this SASOL program. UP supplied the rest of the funds.

# Based largely on the capital injection from SASOL for the Pegasus instrument as well as the running support of my and Prof Philip de Vaal=s joint SASOL Fuels project, a Thrip application (Philip de Vaal main applicant) of 3:1 support was successful, providing R692 000 for the year 2010.

# He was invited to deliver a research lecture in June 2010 at the University of Rostock, Germany, and at the same time be the international external examiner of the PhD thesis of Werner Welthagen with the title: Development and Evaluation of Multidimensional Gas Chromatographic and Mass Spectrometric Techniques for the Analysis of Highly Complex Chemical Mixtures.

RESEARCH INTERESTS Design and evaluation of chromatographic and mass spectrometric equipment and techniques - this includes the application of these methods to non-routine analytical problems in research, industry and the environment: Χ In gas chromatography, various contributions were made towards the production of

capillary columns, including the manufacture and deactivation of electroformed Nickel tubing. Our >press-fit= coupling is not only offered by many international GC suppliers but was in the past also utilized to produce glass capillary columns with fused silica end- pieces for the local market. Further developments include high temperature stationary phases and temporary, dynamic modification of these to effect special selectivity. Optimisation of comprehensive GCxGC and its application to essential oil and petrochemical industries were investigated. A novel Supercritical Fluid Chromatograph (SFC) coupled comprehensively to a fast programmed gas chromatograph (SFC x GC) was designed and built.

Χ Ongoing attention is given to new concentration methods suitable for inlet techniques in

capillary GC and GC-MS. High capacity solvent effect inlets were developed with evaporation taking place in packed beds, rather than the traditional open tubular >retention gaps=. Presently, multichannel silicone rubber traps are developed for thermal desorption-injection of semi-volatile compounds. Areas of application are the determination of organic pollution (including TNT traces for forensic purposes) in air, soil and water samples as well as aroma analysis of wine, beer, fruit, flowers and essential oils. The characterisation of beer volatiles by purge-and-trap analysis using silicone rubber traps has been a recent success. In situ derivatisation of polar molecules (including endocrine disrupters) after collection/concentration of environmental samples in silicone traps is being investigated. Provisional patents have been filed on (i) in situ laser spectroscopic screening of compounds inside the trap, (ii) GC fraction collection for off-line olfactometry and bio-assays and (iii) a simple technique for differentiating between particle associated vs non particle associated organic contaminants in air utilising the silicone rubber traps.

Χ Customized chromatographic systems were developed for automated analysis or in-line

process control in various South African industries: At the AEC a GC was constructed for the analysis of the nuclear spin isomers, o- and p-hydrogen, in a Raman cell for frequency shifting of the 10 μm CO2 laser output. At SASOL a process analyser was developed for the rapid analysis of ppb levels of sulphur compounds in synthesis gas; a supercritical fluid chromatography method was also developed for the class separation of petrochemical


29

fractions and for coupling to GC-MS (Fischer Tropsch products). For ISCOR, gas chromatographic methods were developed for the complete analysis of coke oven gas and for the rapid characterization of rolling mill oils. At the SAB, a GC system was developed for the monitoring of changes taking place in sulphur compounds at the ppb level, during ageing of beer in the glass bottle.

Χ Time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) and laser ionization methods are areas of

intense interest. A TOFMS was jointly built with the AEC for the monitoring of laser based, isotope separation techniques. TOFMS systems were developed, together with a research team in Munich (GSF-Research Centre for Environment and Health, Institute for Ecological Chemistry and the Technical University of Munich, Institute for Physical and Theoretical Chemistry), for improved environmental trace analysis and incinerator exhaust-gas monitoring. The aim with laser TOF instruments is to enhance both the sensitivity and the selectivity of mass spectrometry. Both can be achieved by Resonance Enhanced Multiphoton Ionization (REMPI), a process that can produce up to 100% ionisation efficiency within a pulsed laser beam (compared to 10-5 efficiency in an electron impact source) combined with extreme selectivity arising from the selective absorption of the first laser photon by high resolution UV spectroscopic resonance of rotationally and vibrationally cooled molecules. The cooling, typically down to less than 50 K, is achieved gas dynamically by expansion through a nozzle into the vacuum of the mass spectrometer ion source. REMPI TOF MS is thus a fully two dimensional (high resolution UV spectroscopy - Mass Spectrometry) technique. 5 Patents together reflect the input in developing this (presently exotic, research) technique into a practical analytical tool, including coupling to gas chromatography.

icipe INSTITUTIONAL PROFILE

a. A brief general description of the Centre. The mission of icipe has recently been reiterated in its ‘Vision and Strategy 2007–2012’ paper. It is “to help alleviate poverty, ensure food security and improve the overall health status of peoples of the tropics by developing and extending management tools and strategies for harmful and useful arthropods, while preserving the natural resource base through research and capacity building.” The mandate of the Centre which was laid down in its Charter of 1986 says that “the primary mandate of icipe shall be research in integrated control methodologies for crop and livestock insect pests and other related arthropods, and insect vectors of tropical diseases and the strengthening of scientific and technological capacities of the developing countries in insect science and its application through training and collaborative work.” The four principal objectives are: (1) to do research on harmful and useful insects and other arthropods and to apply this knowledge to integrated pest and vector management problems as well as on the beneficial use of insects, (2) to establish training in research methods and techniques in insects covering the breadth from scientists to practitioners, (3) to establish cooperation with key international centres throughout the world, and with national programmes throughout Africa and other countries in the tropics to facilitate research and application of pest control strategies, and (4) to provide an international forum for the exchange of knowledge in insect science and management for tropical regions. icipe operates within a management structure based on principles conducive to promoting creativity, diversity and efficiency. icipe has also an institutional responsibility for ensuring that the incoming generations of African scientists have a strong and holistic science-based training within a socio-economic background that is relevant to the needs of the society. icipe’s work is organized through the so-called 4-H paradigm (H for health), where targeting the improvements in Human, Animal, Plant and Environment Health have been identified as the most holistic, and cost effective ways to meaningfully engage with the complex development requirements of African communities and to provide the much needed poverty-alleviating solutions. The operative 4-H paradigm includes:

a) Human Health research contributes to the reduction of malaria and other vector-borne diseases by developing tools and strategies that control the vectors and break the cycle of transmission, and that can be integrated with other disease management efforts.

b) Animal Health research aims to increase livestock productivity through development of integrated strategies and tools for livestock vector control, thus leading to greater availability of meat, milk, hides and draught power.

c) Plant Health research contributes to improved sustainable food security strategies and environmental health through the development of integrated pest management (IPM) for field and horticultural crops and storage pests.

d) Environmental Health research concentrates on conservation and sustainable utilisation of the agricultural production base and important natural ecosystems by encouraging and utilising arthropod diversity; cataloguing and sharing biodiversity data and discovering endemic wealth by bioprospecting for useful natural products.

Cutting across the 4-Hs is icipe’s Capacity Building and Institutional Development activities that work to develop the much needed, well trained and highly motivated human resource capacity that is able to respond to the arthropod-related development needs of its African constituency. Along with the human capacity is the need to ensure that institutions are in a functioning state and able to bring about the developmental change that is required.


90

The geographic scope of activity of icipe as formulated in the Charter was originally thought, or could be interpreted, as to go beyond Africa and to cover the tropical zones around the globe. In reality, icipe’s activities have essentially focused on eastern and southern Africa, with an increasing tendency over the last few years to expand more to Central and West African countries. Limiting the geographic scope to tropical Africa may be one of the keys for the recognition and success of icipe as being the leading insect science Centre in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

1. Name of the project: Development and Application of Biosensors for

Environmental Monitoring Year and duration (in months) of the project: 1993; Duration : 24 months Your role and responsibilities:

A simple biosensor for the determination of organophosphorous pesticides based on the principle of enzyme inhibition has been designed. The enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in immobilized form is the biological component in the sensor. Enzyme membranes prepared by cross linking AChE with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and glutaraldehyde were attached to the bulb of glass pH electrode with the help of ‘O’ ring. The enzymatic hydrolysis of substrate acetylthiocholine iodide produces choline and acetic acid. The activity of enzyme is measured by potentiometric detection of protons released by the acetic acid. Decrease in enzyme activity due to contact with pesticide solution is correlated to the concentration of pesticide.

Effect of substrate concentration, pH, buffer strength, temperature, pesticide concentration and range, degree of inhibition of enzyme, response time, reproducibility, specificity and sensitivity, shelf life and storage, and enzyme reactivation were studied and the responses were optimized. The enzyme membranes showed no loss of activity upto 12 weeks when stored in dry condition at 4 °C. The operational stability was found to be upto 30 assays with a loss of less than 50 percent of its activity. The response with various organophosphorous pesticides viz. paraoxon, chlorpyriphos, dimethoate and monocrotophos was examined. It was observed that pesticides could be detected at ppb level. Partially inactive membranes could be regenerated with a dilute solution of pyridine 2 -aldoxime methiodide (2-PAM). Enzyme regeneration was about 60 percent of its initial activity. Behaviour of the sensor in presence of interfering compounds viz. phenol, fluoride and heavy metals was also studied.

The sensor provides simple alternative to conventional methods used in laboratories such as gas chromatography, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry which are costly and time-consuming, and allows rapid mass screening of samples. This can be applied to field conditions for monitoring of organophosphorous pesticides in water.

2. Name of the project: Development of smart nonmaterial’s for environmental applications Year and duration (in months) of the project: 2005; Duration : 24 months Your role and responsibilities:

A general molecular imprinting approach is proposed to synthesize imprinted polyacrylate as an adsorbent for benzo(α)pyrene (BAP). BAP belongs to one of the carcinogenic airborne pollutants. The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) contains nanocavities of an average pore diameter of 6.25 Aْ with Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 282±6.17 m2 g-1. These cavities are geometrically specific to the imprinted template – BAP- and the surface contains conjugative double bond with an adjacent H-bond. This makes the MIP functionally specific for targeted benzo(α)pyrene recognition. Adsorption experiments were carried out and the adsorption isotherms were fitted to the Langmuir-Freundlich (LF) isotherm. The binding parameters - total number of binding sites, mean binding affinity, and heterogeneity - were calculated directly using the LF fitting coefficients. The affinity spectrum (AS) was derived from the LF coefficients from a simple algebraic expression, yielding a measure of the number of binding sites with respect to association complex. The binding coefficients derived from both AS method and Scatchard plot method were compared. The obtained results suggest that the use of this new methodology as applied in this study can open new pathways for molecular recognition of BAP in imprinted polymers.


Your achievements:

♦ A molecularly imprinted polymer was prepared for selective adsorption of benzo(α)pyrene from urban atmospheric samples .

♦ Published 2 papers in International Journals. One research paper presented in International conference on NANOCOMPOSITES in China by young scientist in 2007 (This paper will be published in the Journal of Composites B: Engg.)

2. Name of the project: Water safety plans including QCRA/QMRA and greywater

reuse in rural schools

√ √


137

Year and duration (in months) of the project: 2005 Duration : 15 months


NEERI and UNICEF collaborated to construct greywater treatment and reuse system in residential schools in Madhya Pradesh to overcome water scarcity and sustainability of sanitation facilities. I have designed and constructed greywater treatment and reuse system in seven schools in Dhar and Jhabua districts. The treatment plant is designed to treat an average of 1000 to 6000 litre of greywater per school per day and is reused in toilets used by 50 to 200 students per day. The greywater is treated using following steps: ♦ Step 1 - absorption of soap suds using a synthetic sponge, sedimentation

baffled/graded settling tank,

♦ Step 2 - rapid sand and gravel roughing filtration,

♦ Step 3 - aeration and chlorination before pumping treated grey water to an overhead tank for toilet flushing and irrigation


Your achievements: ♦ Public Health Engineering and SC/ST Welfare Departments, Government of

Madhya Pradesh have sanctioned Greywater reuse systems in 461 residential schools out of which 80 systems have already been built.

♦ A Guidance Manual on Greywater treatment and reuse in schools published by NEERI

♦ Water Safety Plan for Water Technologies published in UNIDO Encyclopedia
