2. 1. Process development and environmental assessment within softwood based biorefineries

   Author : Karin Carlqvist; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sugar platform; extractives; steam explosion; pretreatment; bark; enzymatic hydrolysis; phenolic compounds; bioeconomy; LCA; Pinus sylvestris; Picea abies; pine; spruce; sockerplattform; extraktivämnen; Steam explosion SE ; förbehandling lignocellulosa; bark; enzymatisk hydrolys; fenoler; bioekonomi; LCA; Pinus sylvestris; Picea abies; tall; gran;

   Abstract : We urgently need to move from a fossil-based to a bio-based society. From a Swedish perspective, a promising way forward are biorefineries with an integrated production of materials, chemicals, and energy from the softwood species Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies).

   Abstract : The chemical elicitor methyl jasmonate (MeJA) could replace insecticides in Europe and Asia for protection of young conifers against the pine weevil (Hylobius abietis). This thesis mainly focuses on the effects of MeJA treatment on chemical defenses of conifers from seedling batches with documented field resistance. READ MORE

5. 3. Development and Application of Enzyme- and Antibody-based Assays with Emphasis on Selectivity, Sensitivity and Stability

   Author : Catalin Nistor; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stability; sensitivity; selectivity; cross-reactivity; sample matrix effects; environmental pollutants; enzyme biosensor; immunoassay; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

   Abstract : This thesis presents the development, optimisation, and various applications of enzyme-based biosensors and immunoassays, mainly with relevance to environmental analysis. the thesis discusses problems and possible solutions associated with selectivity, sensitivity and robustness of such bioassays with emphasis on various immunoasssay configurations for determination of surfactants, phenols, or drugs, and amperometric biosensors based on enzymes (e.

6. 4. Enhanced Catalytic Pyrolysis of Biomass for High-Quality Biofuel Production

   Author : Devy Kartika Ratnasari; Weihong Yang; Pär Jönsson; Tobias Richards; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Al-MCM-41; lignocellulose biomass; H-ZSM-5; kinetic study; catalyst regeneration;

   Abstract : The rapid increase in energy demand, the extensive use of fossil fuels, and the urgent need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions have raised concerns in the transportation sector, since transportation has been primarily dependent on fossil fuels. Biofuel from biomass can make significant contributions to overcome the expected depletion of fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions. READ MORE

7. 5. Use of tyre shreds in civil engineering applications : technical and environmental properties

   Author : Tommy Edeskär; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geoteknik; Soil Mechanics;

   Abstract : End-of-life tyres are a disposal problem regarding the large volumes produced every year. Tyre shreds are primarily produced to reduce the transportation volumes of end-of-life tyres after collection. READ MORE
