  4. 12. Development of electrochemical sensor and biosensor platforms : detection of therapeutic drugs and heavy metal ions

    Author : Sereilakhena Phal; Solomon Tesfalidet; Britta Lindholm-Sethson; William Siljebo; Pankaj Vadgama; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sensors; electrode surface modification; electrochemical immitance spectroscopy; square wave anodic stripping voltammetry; singular value decomposition; therapeutic drugs; heavy metals;

    Abstract : Electrochemical sensors and biosensors combine the sensitivity of electroanalytical methods with the selectivity of a sensor or biosensor surface. The chemical or biochemical component (receptor) in the sensor recognizes an analyte and produces an electrical signal which is proportional to the analyte concentration. READ MORE

  5. 13. Deactivation of emission control catalysts for heavy-duty vehicles : Impact of biofuel and lube oil-derived contaminants

    Author : Sandra Dahlin; Lars Pettersson; Isabella Nova; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NH3-SCR; Cu-SSZ-13; V2O5-WO3 TiO2; catalyst deactivation; diesel oxidation catalyst; sulfur; phosphorus; biodiesel; heavy-duty; emission control; regeneration; alkali metals; NH3-SCR; Cu-SSZ-13; V2O5-WO3 TiO2; katalysatordeaktivering; dieseloxidationskatalysator; svavel; fosfor; biodiesel; tunga dieselmotorer; avgasrening; regenerering; alkalimetaller; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Catalytic emission control is used to reduce the negative impact of pollutants from diesel exhausts on our health and on the environment. For a heavy-duty truck, such a system consists of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), a diesel particulate filter (DPF), a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst, and an ammonia slip catalyst (ASC).

  6. 14. Effects of heavy metal contamination on carbon and nitrogen cycling : An ecological approach to assess risks to soil functions

    Author : Ingrid Rijk; Alf Ekblad; Dan Berggren Kleja; Erik Karltun; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heavy metals; soil contamination; stable isotopes; N cycling microbial guilds; 13C; 15N; nitrification; denitrification; biochar; soil respiration; microbial activity; bioavailability;

    Abstract : Soil contamination with heavy metals may disrupt soil microorganisms with important roles in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling. However, there is a lack of understanding on how microorganisms are affected in soil, which may lead to a mismatch when assessing risks of contaminants to field soils. READ MORE

  7. 15. Microbial Treatment of Heavy Metal Leachates

    Author : Teresa Alvarez Aliaga; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pollution control; Environmental technology; algal-bacterial symbiosis.; metal precipitation; biosorption; biogenic sulphide; municipal and agricultural solid wastes organic matter degradation; sulphate-reducing bacteria; Bioremediation; heavy metals removal; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Ore-mining, metallurgy and other industrial activities represent the source of heavy metal and radionuclide contamination in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Physico-chemical processes are employed for heavy metal removal from industrial wastewater. READ MORE
