1. Low Molecular Weight Organic Acids and Their Aluminium Complexes in Forest Soils
Abstract : The significance of low molecular weight (LMW) organic acids and their aluminium (Al) complexes in soil solutions of podzolized soils was examined. Methods for the analysis of these compounds and complexes were developed, and the impact of these substances on the weathering and podzolization processes was studied. READ MORE

2. Remediation of materials with mixed contaminants : treatability, technology and final disposal
Abstract : Contaminated soils are a large issue worldwide and much effort has been made to find efficient remediation methods. At many contaminated sites, mixtures of different contaminants with different properties are present, which may lead to additional problems, and thus additional costs, during the remediation process.

3. Capillary zone electrophoresis for the analysis of low molecular weight organic acids in environmental systems
Abstract : Capillary zone electrophoretic (CZE) methods were developed to identify and quantify low molecular weight (LMW) organic acids in environmental samples. Sensitivity and selectivity were optimised by adapting the background electrolyte to the characteristics of analytes, and by using different modes of detection and injection. READ MORE

4. Impact of root and mycorrhizal exudation on soil carbon fluxes : influence of elevated CO2 and metals
Abstract : The thesis concerns the behavior of root and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) exudates. In particular, the dynamics of soluble low molecular weight (LMW) organic compounds such as organic acids (LMWOAs), amino acids, monosaccharides, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) have been studied. READ MORE

5. Measurement of Self-Heating of Biomass Pellets using Isothermal Calorimetry
Abstract : Self-heating in storage facilities of biomass pellet can lead to spontaneous combustion. This has resulted in many fires over the years, causing both financial and environmental losses.In order to assess the risk for spontaneous combustion of biomass pellets during storage, it is important to know how prone the fuel is to self-heating, i.e. READ MORE
