2. 1. Particle Emissions from Ships

   Author : Maria Zetterdahl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LNG; marine fuel; fuel sulphur content; particle emission; sulphur emission control area; aromatics; SECA; heavy fuel oil; marine diesel oil; liquefied natural gas; ship emission;

   Abstract : Since 1st of January 2015 ships operating in sulphur emission control areas (SECAs) have to use marine fuels with a fuel sulphur content less than 0.1 %m/m. This regulation forces the ship owners to make a fuel shift and use low-sulphur marine fuel oils, use alternative fuels or use scrubbers on-board their ships. READ MORE

4. 2. Plants as Sources of Natural and Effective Acaricides : Against Ixodes ricinus  (Acari: Ixodidae)

   Author : Fawzeia Elmhalli; Giulio Grandi; Richard Wall; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Acaricidal; Ixodes ricinus; Libyan plants; essential oils; Plant-derived acaricides.; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik;

   Abstract : Ticks and tick-borne diseases are major health hazards worldwide, with increasing numbers of cases of Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis reported yearly. Meanwhile, concerns about the environmental impact and safety of chemical acaricides are driving research into alternative control methods, such as plant-based acaricides. READ MORE

5. 3. Supercritical Hydrogenation of Vegetable Oils

   Author : Maj-Britt Macher; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; palladium catalyst; supercritical; hydrogenation; silver ion HPLC; rapeseed oil; fatty acid methyl ester; trans fatty acid; palm oil; deactivation; propane;

   Abstract : Vegetable oils were hydrogenated in a supercritical single-phase mixture with propane and hydrogen. The reaction was carried out in a small (0.5 ml) fixed-bed reactor and the influence of different process parameters was investigated. READ MORE

6. 4. Hydrotreatment of lignin and its bio-oils over transition metal sulfide-based supported and unsupported catalysts

   Author : You Wayne Cheah; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pyrolysis oil; Propylguaiacol; Reaction network; Advanced biofuels; Hydrotreatment; MoS2; Unsupported TMS; Kraft lignin; Transition metals; Bio-oils;

   Abstract : The scarcity of fossil feedstocks and the deterioration of the current global climate condition have prompted the search for reliable alternatives for fossil fuel replacement. Biomass feedstocks such as lignin can be used to produce renewable bio-oils that can fill the gap left by fossil-derived oils. READ MORE

7. 5. On the Extraction of Essential Oils by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide and its Influence on the Mesomorphic Phase Structures

   Author : José da Cruz Francisco; Kemiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Natural oils; fats and waxes technology; Naturliga oljor; fetter; vax; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi; Chemical technology and engineering; Livsmedelsteknik; Food and drink technology; phase behavior; soybean lecithin; monoolein; cineole; terpenes; eucalyptus; extraction; Essential oils; supercritical carbon dioxide;

   Abstract : A comparison of essential oils from leaves of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn. obtained by hydrodistillation (HD) and supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction is presented. Selected major components of the oils showed a predominance of higher molecular weight components in the SC-CO2 extracts than in those obtained by HD. READ MORE
