2. 1. Green Aromatics: Catalytic Valorisation of bio-derived 2,5-dimethylfuran over Zeolites and Zeotypes

   Author : Christopher Sauer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biomass conversion; infrared spectroscopy; BTX Aromatics; 2; 5-dimethylfuran; Zeolite; Catalysis; Online Analysis; Zeotype;

   Abstract : This thesis discusses the use of biomass as a potentially green feedstock for the chemical industry in the urgent shift away from fossil resources. I elaborate on reasons why we cannot afford to burn virgin biomass for energy production, among them a variety of ecosystem services that forests and other lands provide. READ MORE

4. 2. Miniaturized localized surface plasmon resonance biosensors

   Author : Si Chen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; colloidal lithography; Surface plasmon resonance; biosensing; electron beam lithography; single molecule; hyperspectral imaging; photo functionalization;

   Abstract : Abstract Reliable and sensitive biosensors are required for fast and accurate diagnostics. Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) in noble-metal nanoparticles possess very high refractive index sensitivity close to the metal surface and therefore constitute an attractive biosensing platform.

5. 3. Exploring the fate of emerging contaminants during hydrothermal regeneration of carbonaceous adsorbents

   Author : Pierre Oesterle; Stina Jansson; Jerker Fick; Ulrika Rova; Capucine Dupont; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Activated biochars; HTC; regeneration; analytical chemistry; adsorption; degradation; nontarget analysis; wastewater; circular economy; emerging contaminants; surface chemistry; Analytical Chemistry; analytisk kemi; environmental science; miljövetenskap; Pharmaceutics; galenisk farmaci; analytisk materialfysik; analytical material physics; Analytical Pharmaceutical Chemistry; analytisk farmaceutisk kemi;

   Abstract : Wastewater from households and industries commonly contain emerging contaminants that are not easily removed by most wastewater treatment plants. These contaminants can be removed through adsorption onto adsorbents, such as activated carbon or biochars. READ MORE

6. 4. Solving Analytical Challenges with Thin Layer Electrochemistry

   Author : Alexander Wiorek; Gaston A. Crespo; Maria Cuartero; Gregoire Herzog; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Thin Layer Electrochemistry; Polyaniline; Carbon nanotubes; Ion-selective electrodes; Ionophores; Electrochemical Sensors; Alkalinity; Deionization; Chemical Imaging; Tunnskiktselektrokemi; polyanilin; kolnanorör; jonselektiva elektroder; jonoforer; elektrokemiska sensorer; Alkalinitet; avjonisering; chemical imaging; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : The decentralization of chemical sensing to attain environmental-related information is today highly desirable to increase the knowledge on biological or geological events as well as effluents. The current state of the field moves toward submersible probes; chemical sensors implemented into submersible devices for quantifying analytes over extended times. READ MORE

7. 5. Interactions Between Water and Cellulose Esters

   Author : Robin Nilsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cellulose acetate; wide-angle X-ray scattering; water absorption; Hansen Solubility Parameters; glass transition; water diffusion;

   Abstract : Biopolymers, which are produced from natural sources, are gaining interest as a potential replacement for fossil-based polymers. As such, they are already widely used in several industries, including the food, healthcare, and personal care industries. READ MORE
