  2. 1. Road disasters? Modeling and assessment of Swedish roads within crucial climate conditions

    Author : Alireza Nickman; Bo Olofsson; Per-Erik Jansson; Nils-Otto Kitterød; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Road; Flood; Moisture; Temperature; Groundwater; GIS; Uncertainity; Sweden; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

    Abstract : An efficient maintenance of roads to ensure high accessibility and durability of the transport capacity requires an understanding of how the hydrological response depends on both the road and the landscape characteristics. New methods and data were used to identify and explain interaction between roads and surrounding environment and their influence on hydrologic responses both in watershed scale and road-section scale.

  4. 2. Assessment of rock mass quality and its effects on charge ability using drill monitoring technique

    Author : Rajib Ghosh; Håkan Schunnesson; Nuray Demirel; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Underground mining; Sublevel caving; Rock mass quality; Borehole filming; Borehole quality; Borehole stability; Borehole instability; Drill monitoring technique; Measurement While Drilling MWD ; Hydraulic in-the-hole ITH drilling; Drill system behaviour; Principal Component Analysis PCA ; Geo-mechanical model; Chargeability; Fracture zone; Shear zone; Cave-in; Cavity; Rock blasting; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och berganläggningsteknik;

    Abstract : For an efficient mining operation, it is essential to have as much information as possible aboutthe ore to be excavated and the rock masses surrounding the ore. Geological information andthe content and distribution of extractable minerals, are central concerns for long term mineplanning. READ MORE

  5. 3. Possibilities and Challenges of Using Combined Manganese Oxides as Oxygen Carriers

    Author : Malin Hanning; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbon capture; combined oxides; manganese oxides; oxygen carriers; manganese ores; chemical-looping combustion;

    Abstract : One alternative proposed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is carbon capture and storage, where the carbon dioxide emitted from large point sources is captured, compressed and stored in underground geological formations. Many of the largest point sources of carbon dioxide are power plants and industries fuelled by fossil fuels or biomass. READ MORE

  6. 4. Resource and Environmental Impacts of Resource-Efficiency Measures Applied to Electronic Products

    Author : Hampus André; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; scarce metals; life cycle assessment; resource-efficiency; electronic products; resource depletion; circular economy; metal resource use;

    Abstract : Natural resources such as ecosystems, land, water and metals underpin the functioning of economies and human well-being, and are becoming increasingly scarce due to growth in population and affluence. Metals are increasingly demanded for their specific properties as modern technology develops. READ MORE

  7. 5. Non-geological hydrogen storage for fossil-free steelmaking

    Author : Joakim Andersson; Stefan Grönkvist; Simon Harvey; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hydrogen storage; fossil-free; steelmaking; industrial decarbonization; hydrogen direct reduction; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : In the last half-century, global steel use has increased more than threefold and further growth is expected, particularly in developing economies. However, steelmaking is currently responsible for 7% of the global net carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and any substantial further optimization of existing processes that utilize fossil fuels for iron ore reduction is infeasible.
