Biography
Hlanganani Tutu is currently working as Associate Professor of chemistry at University of Witwatersrand. He has keen interest in environmental analytical chemistry.
Research Interest
His research field is environmental analytical chemistry. Areas of interest include: analytical method development for water and soil analysis; the chemistry of acid mine/rock drainage; elemental speciation in polluted environments (water and soil systems); water quality assessment; remediation and mitigation aspects (development and modification of materials for the capture of pollutants in polluted water; constructed and natural wetland systems); value recovery (recovery of precious elements and rare earths from wastewaters; alternative uses of waste and wastewaters); geochemical modelling (predicting elemental speciation, forward and inverse modelling, reactive transport modelling, pit lake chemistry, evaporite and secondary mineral formation) and chemometric modelling (optimization, classification, self-organising maps and artificial neural networks).
