2. 1. Enhancement of Volatile Fatty Acid Production from Dairy Wastewater

   Author : Merve Atasoy; Zeynep Cetecioglu; Juan Lema; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Volatile fatty acid; mixed culture fermentation; pure culture; bioaugmentation; bacterial community; Flyktiga fettsyror; jäsning med blandkultur; renkultur; bioaugmentering; bakteriesamhälle; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : Resource recovery from waste-streams is a highly promising approach to meet with urbanization and modernization consequences. Rapid human population growth, expanding industrialization and excessive consumption of resources lead to increasing demand for raw materials and energy sources, and an escalation of greenhouse gas emission.

4. 2. Bio-based Composites from Soybean Oil Thermosets and Natural Fibers

   Author : Kayode Adekunle; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bio-based thermoset resins; natural fibres; hybrid composites; renewable resources; mechanical analysis; compression molding; lyocell fiber; Energi och material; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

   Abstract : In order to reduce over-dependency on fossil fuels and to create an environment that is free of non-degradable plastics, and most importantly to reduce greenhouse gas emission, bio-based products are being developed from renewable resources through intense research to substitute conventional petrochemical-based plastics with renewable alternatives and to replace synthetic fibers with natural fibers. Many authors have done quite a lot of work on synthesizing polymers from renewable origin. READ MORE

5. 3. Fermentative hydrogen and methane productions using membrane bioreactors

   Author : Julius Akinbomi; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Encapsulation; Inhibition; hydrodynamics; hydrogen; methane; fruit flavour; Membrane bioreactor; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

   Abstract : The role of energy as a stimulant for economic growth and environmental sustainabilityof any nation has made the focus on green fuels, including fermentative hydrogen (bioH2) andmethane (bioCH4), to be a priority for the World’s policy makers. Nigeria, as the most populousAfrican country, with worsening energy crisis, can benefit from the introduction of the bioH2 andbioCH4 technologies into the country’s energy mix, since such technologies have the potential ofgenerating energy from organic wastes such as fruit waste.

6. 4. Pretreatment of cellulosic waste and high rate biogas production

   Author : Solmaz Aslanzadeh; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biogas; Two-stage anaerobic digestion; N-methylmorpholine N-oxide NMMO pretreatment; Lignocelluloses; Textile waste; Biofuels; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

   Abstract : The application of anaerobic digestion technology is growing worldwide, mainly because of its environmental benefits. Nevertheless, anaerobic degradation is a rather slow and sensitive process. One of the reasons is the recalcitrance nature of certain fractions of the substrate (e.g. READ MORE

7. 5. Development of thermoplastic biocomposites based on aligned hybrid yarns for fast composite manufacturing

   Author : Behnaz Baghaei; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hybrid yarns; Mechanical properties; Porosity; Weaving; Alkali treatment; Compression moulding; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

   Abstract : The interest in natural fibres as reinforcement for composite materials has been steadily increasing due to their attractive mechanical properties and the possibility of making more eco-friendly materials. Currently, various alternatives are being introduced for commercial applications, as fibres such as hemp, jute and flax exhibit properties, which make them appropriate for structural composite components.
