  2. 1. Development of titanium-copper alloys for dental applications

    Author : Lee Fowler; Caroline Öhman-Mägi; Håkan Engqvist; Susanne Norgren; Eduard Hryha; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Titanium; copper; antibacterial; Ti2Cu; biomaterials; Staphylococcus epidermidis; MC3T3 cells;

    Abstract : Titanium alloys find wide application in the medical implants industry, which includes areas of orthopaedic and dental implants. The reason for the popularity of the material is high mechanical strength, low density, and reported growth of bone onto the material, as well as corrosion resistance. READ MORE

  4. 2. Iron or Copper? - Method Development and Mechanistic Studies on Cross-Coupling Reactions

    Author : Per-Fredrik Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Iron; Copper; Transition metal; Cross-coupling; Reaction mechanism; Kinetic investigation; Hammett study; Sustainable catalysis; Trace-metal; Mass-transfer; Ligand development; Ligand scope;

    Abstract : The area of catalysis has had an immeasurable impact on modern society. This has been acknowledged through several Nobel prizes during the 20th century ranging from Haber (1918) for the synthesis of ammonia to Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki (2010) for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nanoscale studies of the atmospheric corrosion of copper protected by ultrathin organic films

    Author : Weijie Zhao; C. Magnus Johnson; Christopher Leygraf; Guido Grundmeier; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Atmospheric corrosion; copper; corrosion inhibition; Langmuir-Blodgett LB deposition; self-assembly deposition; nano-FTIR; octadecylphosphonic acid ODPA .; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Copper (Cu) has been utilised by humans for millenniums and has become an indispensable metal in modern industry and in our infrastructure. However, corrosion, as a natural process for metallic materials, takes place on copper surfaces in most environments. READ MORE

  6. 4. Potential of Organosolv Lignin Nanoparticles as a Sustainable Flotation Reagent : Towards a Low-Carbon Footprint Mining Industry

    Author : Katerina Hruzova; Ulrika Rova; Saija Luukkanen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Organosolv lignin particles; Nanoparticles; Flotation reagent; Copper recovery; Biokemisk processteknik; Biochemical Process Engineering;

    Abstract : The green transition is driving a steep increase in the demand for minerals, which has put the focus on more responsible and sustainable mining practices as there is a growing pressure on mining operations to minimise their environmental footprint, mitigate risks in neighbouring communities, and decrease the consumption of natural resources. In 2022, mineral froth flotation was used to recover 18 million tonnes of copper from copper ore, accounting for 80% of total copper mine output. READ MORE

  7. 5. Towards Abatement of Selected Emissions from Metals Manufacturing

    Author : Diana Orrling; Seshadri Seetharaman; S. Subramanian; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mercury; zinc; iron; copper; sulfur dioxide; adsorption; pollution; spectroscopy; thermal desorption; polycrystalline; surfaces; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Although the metallurgical industry has made great strides in the reduction of unwanted emissions to the atmosphere as a result of production processes, significant challenges still exist. From a global perspective, even large reductions in emissions per produced ton become immaterial when considering that the total world production of metals continues to increase. READ MORE
