    Abstract : Reliable energy supply is a major concern and crucial for development of the global society. To address the dependency on fossil fuel and the negative effects of this reliance on climate, there is a need for a transition to cleaner sources. An attractive solution for replacing fossil-based products is renewable substitutes produced from biomass. READ MORE

    Author : Kivanc Korkmaz; Kerstin Forsberg; Åke C. Rasmuson; Gisele Azimi; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rare earth elements; hybrid electric vehicles; recycle; nickel; cobalt; precipitation; anti-solvent crystallization; selective roasting; Sällsynta jordartsmetaller; hybridelektriska fordon; återvinning; nickel; kobolt; utfällning; förträngningskristallisation; selektiv rostning; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Rare earth elements (REE) are a group of elements that are of critical importance in numerous technological applications, including “green technologies” such as wind turbines and hybrid car batteries. When the criticality of applications is considered, problems in supply has brought the option of effective secondary resource utilization into consideration. READ MORE

  5. 3. Numerical Studies of Wall Effects of Laminar Flames

    Author : Johan Andrae; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wall effects; laminar premixed flames; Chemkin; boundary layer flow; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Numerical simulations have been done with the CHEMKINsoftware to study different aspects of wall effects in thecombustion of lean, laminar and premixed flames in anaxisymmetric boundary-layer flow. The importance of the chemical wall effects compared to thethermal wall effects caused by the development of the thermaland velocity boundary layer has been investigated in thereaction zone by using different wall boundary conditions, walltemperatures and fuel/air ratios.

  6. 4. State Estimation of Lithium-ion Batteries

    Author : Xiaolei Bian; Longcheng Liu; Jinying Yan; Huazhen Fang; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lithium-ion battery; State of charge; State of health; Model-based method; Extended Kalman filter; Filter tuning; Fusion model; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : To guarantee the safety operation, the key states of lithium-ion battery, e.g., the state of charge and the state of health, must be estimated and monitored accurately. This thesis is mainly to develop models and algorithms to accurately and robustly estimate the key battery states, based on the available measurements i. READ MORE

  7. 5. Development and Assessment of Regeneration Methods for Commercial Automotive Three-Way Catalysts

    Author : Henrik Birgersson; Magali Boutonnet; Jim A. Andersson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; automotive catalyst; TWC; aging; sintering; Pd Rh; Pt Rh; regeneration; oxy-chlorination; dispersion; acid-leaching; mathematical modeling; reaction kinetics; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Car exhaust catalysts were introduced in the early 1980’s, to limit the release of pollutants such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. These catalysts contain noble metals such as palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) and are able to simultaneously abate all three of the above-mentioned pollutants, hence the name three-way catalyst (TWC).
