  2. 1. Major leaching processes of combustion residues : characterisation, modelling and experimental investigation

    Author : Jinying Yan; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Characterising leaching behaviour provides ample evidence toidentify the majorleaching processes of combustion residues.Neutralisation and chemical weatheringgovern the leachingreactions and control the release of major, minor and traceelementsfrom combustion residues, and are thus considered to bethe major leaching processes.

  4. 2. Leaching of concrete : experiments and modelling

    Author : Tomas Ekström; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; betongdammar; urlakning; dammar; beständighet; skador; laboratorieförsök; beräkningsmetoder; simulering; beräkningsmodeller;

    Abstract : Many concrete dams, and other concrete structures within the hydropower industry are old and in a more or less severe state of degradation. Leaching is, together with freeze-thaw, the most common degradation problem in Swedish hydraulic concrete structures. READ MORE

  5. 3. DYNAMIC MODELLING OF BIOGEOCHEMICAL PROCESSES IN FOREST ECOSYSTEMS

    Author : Salim Belyazid; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Naturvetenskap; marklära; Silviculture; forestry; forestry technology; Skogsvetenskap; skogsbruk; skogsteknik; Natural science; Lantbrukshydrologi; Soil Science; agricultural hydrology; Växtekologi; Forest Soil Acidification; Plant ecology; Plant biochemistry; Forest Growth; Vegetation biodiversity; Carbon Sequestration; Nitrogen Leaching; Miljökemi; Dynamic Modelling; Växtbiokemi; Environmental chemistry;

    Abstract : Forests in Sweden are undergoing rapid and considerable changes regarding both management methods and environmental conditions. To understand the effects of these changes and to be able to predict impending changes in forest ecosystems, a holistic understanding of the processes governing the ecosystem is needed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Inorganic ions in wood chips- Leaching prior to Kraft pulping and effect of calcium on Kraft delignification

    Author : Anna Saltberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; modelling; calcium; Scandinavian softwood; Keywords: Kraft pulping; potassium; birch; eucalyptus; aspen; acidic leaching; oxalate.;

    Abstract : Wood is the main source of Non-Process Elements (NPEs), such as, calcium, potassium, manganese and chloride in Kraft pulp mills. Due to the recirculation of cooking chemicals and water, process disturbances related to the accumulation of NPEs in the process streams are inevitable. READ MORE

  7. 5. Characterization of the Mechanisms of Drug Release from Polymer-Coated Formulations using Experiments and Modelling

    Author : Mariagrazia Marucci; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ethyl cellulose; Release mechanism; coating; polymer blend; modelling; ESPI; diffusion; osmotic pumping; SEM; single pellet; CLSM; hydroxypropyl cellulose; multiple-unit release;

    Abstract : The main objectives of the work presented in this thesis were to develop new experimental methods to improve the understanding of the release mechanism from a coated formulation and to develop new mechanistic models to describe the release process for pellets coated with a semi-permeable film. Another aim was to characterize the release mechanism from a formulation coated with films made of a blend of a water-insoluble polymer, ethyl cellulose (EC), and a water-soluble polymer, hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC).
