2. 1. Characterisation of Fuels and Fly Ashes from Co-Combustion of Biofuels and Waste Fuels in a Fluidised Bed Boiler. A Phosphorus and Alkali Perspective

   Author : Anita Pettersson; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phosphorus recovery; co-combustion; fluidised bed combustion; olivine; Biofuels; zeolites; fertiliser; extraction; refuse derived fuels; kaolin; alkali; sulphur; ash; municipal sewage sludge;

   Abstract : In the efforts to create sustainable production of heat and power and to reduce the net CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, alternative fuels are today being utilised. These fuels are, for example, biofuels and waste derived fuels such as different residues from the agricultural sector and the pulp and paper industry, municipal sewage sludge and municipal sorted solid waste.

4. 2. Development of syntheses for nanostructured titania and silica

   Author : Gunnar Örn Simonarson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lithium intercalation; nanoparticles; X-ray characterization; mesoporous silica; mesoporous titania; spray deposition; Titanium dioxide;

   Abstract : Nanostructured titania is of great interest for a variety of energy and environmental applications, including conversion of solar energy, for energy storage systems and removal of organic pollutants in water and air. Titania is composed of earth abundant elements, it is environmentally friendly and chemically stable which makes it an attractive material to utilize. READ MORE

5. 3. Crystalline Porous Materials Inspired by Metallodrugs

   Author : Erik Svensson Grape; A. Ken Inge; Tomislav Friščić; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metal-organic frameworks; material synthesis; pharmaceuticals; porous materials; crystallography; oorganisk kemi; Inorganic Chemistry;

   Abstract : Inspiration for developing robust porous materials from sustainable reagents was acquired by determining the crystal structures of bismuth subsalicylate and bibrocathol, two long-used and commonly available bismuth-based pharmaceuticals. From these insights, a number of coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were developed, facilitating the synthesis of robust porous materials from sustainably sourced reagents.

6. 4. Modern landfill leachates – quality and treatment

   Author : Hanna Modin; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Heavy metals; European Landfill Directive; Biodegradation; Landfill leachate; Leaching tests; Multivariate data analysis; Organic matter; Sorption filters;

   Abstract : Waste management in Europe has changed, mainly as a result of stricter regulations, most notably the European Landfill Directive 1999/31/EC. In Sweden, landfill tax and a ban on the landfilling of waste with total organic carbon content over 10 % have diverted large amounts of waste from landfills. READ MORE

7. 5. Cookstoves, Candles, and Phthalates – Real Time Physicochemical Characterization and Human Exposure to Indoor Aerosols

   Author : Christina Andersen; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aerosol particles; OA; BC; cookstoves; candle emissions; phthalates; human exposure; PAHs;

   Abstract : Exposure to air pollution is associated with adverse health effects in humans, with special concern for exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). The physicochemical properties of aerosols impact the health effects. READ MORE
