2. 1. Properties in New Complex Perovskite-Related Materials, a Matter of Composition and Structure

   Author : Samrand Shafeie; Gunnar Svensson; Jekabs Grins; John T. S. Irvine; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Perovskite; XANES; XRPD; NPD; TEC; TEM; SEM; TGA; SAED; HREM; thermal expansion; Seebeck coefficient; electronic conductivity; SOFC materials; magnetic susceptibility; Perovskit; XANES; XRPD; NPD; TEC; TEM; SEM; TGA; SAED; HREM; termisk expansion; Seebeck koefficient; elektrisk ledningsförmåga; SOFC material; magnetiska egenskaper; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

   Abstract : This PhD thesis presents investigations of perovskite-related compounds in systems of interest for applications in components in solid oxide fuel cells. The compound compositions derive from substitutions in the parent compounds LaCoO3, LaCrO3 and SrFeO3. READ MORE

4. 2. Cobalt and Nickel Bioavailability for Biogas Formation

   Author : Jenny Gustavsson; Bo Svensson; Anna Karlsson; Piet N.L. Lens; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Biogas production; bioavailability; cobalt; nickel; sequential extraction; S XANES; 454-pyrosequencing.; Biogasproduktion; biotillgänglighet; kobolt; nickel; sekventiell extraktion; S XANES; 454-pyrosekvensering;

   Abstract : Supplementation of trace metals such as Co and Ni may improve anaerobic digestion of organic material for biogas formation. Which trace metals that are needed and the quantity to apply are, at least partly, related to metal speciation and bioavailability. READ MORE

   Abstract : Methylmercury (MeHg) is a neurotoxic compound that threatens the well-being of humans and wildlife. It is formed through the methylation of inorganic mercury (HgII) under suboxic/anoxic conditions in soils, sediment and waters. READ MORE

7. 5. The Bentonite Barrier - Swelling Properties, Redox Chemistry and Mineral Evolution

   Author : Daniel Svensson; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; montmorillonite; bentonite; smectite; freezing; thawing; hydration; intercalation; four-water-layer; ethylene glycol; X-ray diffraction; time-resolved; spatial-resolution; XANES; Fe; redox; iron; ABM; TBT; Äspö;

   Abstract : Bentonite is planned for use as a buffer material in high-level radioactive waste repositories, where safety assessment is performed for very long periods (100-1000 ka). This thesis focuses on the swelling of smectites in liquid water, and analysis of bentonite from field experiments at Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory, Sweden. READ MORE
