2. 1. The political economy of emission standards : politics, business and the making of vehicle emission regulations in Sweden and Europe, 1960-1980s

   Author : Mattias Näsman; Ann-Kristin Bergquist; Kristina Söderholm; Per Högselius; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; history; car industry; environmental governance; environmental regulation; air pollution; transition; vehicle emissions; transnational; European integration; standards; knowledge creation; linking; delinking; expertise; business power; lobbying; California Effect Hypothesis; ekonomisk historia; Economic History; History; historia; sustainability; hållbarhet;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to an improved historical understanding of the challenges and complexities involved in constructing systems of governance of motor vehicle air pollution. The specific aim of the study is to explore the development of regulatory vehicle emission standards in Sweden between 1960 and the 1980s as well as to analyze this development within its broader European economic, regulatory and environmental policy context by adopting a transnational approach.

4. 2. Unlocking Sustainability in Wastewater Denitrification through Waste-Derived Volatile Fatty Acids

   Author : Tugba Sapmaz; Mohammad J Taherzadeh; Eric D. Van Hullebusch; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; volatile fatty acids; wastewater denitrification; ammonium removal; sustainable carbon source; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

   Abstract : Carbon sources play a critical role in biological nitrogen removal during wastewater treatment, where strict total nitrogen limits on effluent discharge apply. Organic carbon sources serve as electron donors in the denitrification for heterotrophic denitrifiers. READ MORE

5. 3. Water treatment using cryogel-based adsorbents - Targeting environmental pollutants at low concentrations

   Author : Linda Önnby; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adsorption; cryogels; nanoparticles; arsenic; cadmium; water treatment; composites;

   Abstract : The lack of safe, clean water is strongly linked to poverty, underdevelopment and poor health. Water is needed not only to sustain life, but to produce food and in industrial processes. Anthropogenic pollution and natural events can jeopardize access to safe water. READ MORE

6. 4. Anaerobic digestion of crop and waste biomass: Impact of feedstock characteristics on process performance

   Author : Nges Ivo Achu; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Anaerobic digestion; Biofertilizer; Renewable energy; Sustainable operation;

   Abstract : Anaerobic digestion provides an array of positive environmental benefits such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, replacing mineral fertilizers, producing renewable energy and treating waste. However, pitfalls in anaerobic digestion such as poor methane yields, process instability, process failure and regional shortages of feedstock have limited the full exploitation of the anaerobic digestion process.
