2. 21. Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) from a moderate halophile: production and modification for new applications

   Author : Marlene Munoz; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biopolymers; polyhydroxyalkanoates; polyhydroxybutyrate; moderate halophile; Halomonas boliviensis; fermentation; recovery; thermally induced phase separation; scaffolds; covalent modification; hydrophobic ion pairing; polyethylenemine; lysozyme.;

   Abstract : Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a homopolymer belonging to the family of biopolyesters, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) produced by different bacteria and archaea as intracellular granules often under conditions of metabolic stress due to a limited supply of essential nutrients. The properties of the PHAs are similar to those of polyethylene and polypropylene and can hence replace these fossil based polymers in a large variety of applications. READ MORE

4. 22. Feasibility study of soil washing to remediate mercury contaminated soil

   Author : Jingying Xu; Bo Lind; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; soil remediation; pH-dependentdissolution; organic matter; mobilisation; Waste Science and Technology; Avfallsteknik;

   Abstract : Mercury (Hg) cannot be degraded. Therefore only two principal processes are available for the treatment of Hg-contaminated soil: (1) the separation of Hg from the soil or (2) the stabilisation of Hg within the soil. Prior to selecting a suitable treatment technique, it is necessary to have an understanding of Hg behaviour in contaminated soil, i.e. READ MORE

5. 23. Biopolymers and materials from rapeseed straw biorefining

   Author : Antonia Svärd; Ulrica Edlund; Elisabet Brännvall; Stefan Willför; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rapeseed canola straw; biorefinery; hemicelluloses; lignin; cellulose; cellulose nanoparticles; films; grafting; thermoplastic; biocomposites; rapshalm; bioraffinaderi; hemicellulosa; lignin; cellulosa; cellulosa nano partiklar; hemicellulosafilm; ympning; termoplastisk; biokompositer; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Rapeseed straw was fractionated through a hydrothermal process into its hemicellulose, lignin and cellulose components. In the first step, hemicellulose-rich fractions were extracted. Xylan-rich fractions with high molecular weight, 30,000 – 50,000 g/mol, were obtained at 110 °C and 1.5 M NaOH. READ MORE

6. 24. Analytical method development in liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry based metabolomics

   Author : Ida Erngren; Mikael Hedeland; Curt Pettersson; Torbjörn Arvidsson; Gérard Hopfgartner; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Analytical pharmaceutical chemistry; metabolomics; liquid chromatography; mass spectrometry; hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography; Analytical Pharmaceutical Chemistry; Analytisk farmaceutisk kemi;

   Abstract : Metabolomics is the analytical field which aims at analyzing all small molecules, metabolites, in a biological system simultaneously. Currently no analytical methods are able to capture the entire metabolome, therefore, the analytical methods are often developed to be as general as possible. READ MORE

7. 25. Fluidized bed combustion and gasification for phosphorus recovery by co-conversion of sewage sludge with biomass

   Author : Thomas Karl Hannl; Marcus Öhman; Matthias Kuba; Nils Skoglund; Mikko Hupa; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Combustion; gasification; sewage sludge; agricultural residues; fluidized bed; ash chemistry; bed material; phosphorus; fuel design; Energy Engineering; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : In recent years, the thermal conversion of sewage sludge has proven its applicability for managing this inevitably generated waste. The viability arises from the concomitant features of recovering energy or valuable compounds, the breakdown of potentially harmful organic compounds, the separation or immobilization of heavy metals, and the formation of volume-reduced, sanitized residues.
