  2. 1. Enlightening Water : Science, market & regulation of mineral waters in eighteenth-century France

    Author : Armel Cornu; H. Otto Sibum; Hjalmar Fors; Sven Widmalm; Jakob Vogel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Mineral waters; Eighteenth century; French Enlightenment; History of science; History of chemistry; Social history; Société de Médecine; History of Sciences and Ideas; Idé- och lärdomshistoria;

    Abstract : My thesis investigates the process through which French mineral waters were conceptually and materially transformed by the forces of market, regulation, and science during the Enlightenment. Tracing this process deepens current understandings of eighteenth-century societies, and presents a novel image of the development of medicine and chemistry. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mineral dissolution from molecular to field scale

    Author : Heléne Strandh; William H. Casey; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mineralogy; Petrology and Geochemistry; mineralogi; petrologi och geokemi;

    Abstract : Mineral reactivity contributes to the global biogeochemical cycling of elements. CO2is consumed during the chemical weathering of many silicates and during formation of carbonates in the oceans. READ MORE

  5. 3. Alternative Adsorption Materials for Treatment of Contaminated Waters

    Author : Yuliya Kalmykova; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adsorption; Sphagnum peat; Heavy metals; Fiber ash;

    Abstract : The thesis presents a study of adsorbent materials for treatment of contaminated waters and remediation of contaminated soils. Natural and waste product materials showed high adsorption capacity for metals and organic pollutants and proved to be a good alternative to commercial adsorbents. READ MORE

  6. 4. Equilibrium studies of ternary aluminium(III) hydroxo complexes with ligands related to conditions in natural waters

    Author : Lars-Olof Öhman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aqueous solution; binary and ternary hydroxo complexes of Al3 ; carbonic acid; citric acid; phenolic ligands; emf-titrations; equilibrium analysis; model calculations towards natural waters;

    Abstract : The thesis is a summary and discussion of eight papers. During the last decades, precipitation has become increasingly acidic due to the extensive use of fossil fuels. In areas of poorly buffered bedrocks, e.g. READ MORE

  7. 5. Adsorption of dissolved organic matter in aquatic ecosystems : Effects on composition and reactivity

    Author : Marloes M. Groeneveld; Lars Tranvik; Dolly Kothawala; Suzanne Tank; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : dissolved organic matter; DOM; carbon; aquatic; adsorption; mineral particles; Biology with specialization in Limnology; Biologi med inriktning mot limnologi;

    Abstract : Inland waters receive organic matter from terrestrial ecosystems and in situ production. In transit from land to the ocean, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) may be mineralised to inorganic forms (CO2 and CH4) by microbial degradation and photodegradation. READ MORE
