   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dendrimers; dendronized polymers; atom transfer radical polymerisation; ring-opening metathesis polymerization; reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization; 2; 2-bis methylol propionic acid; tri-block copolymers; rheology; differential scanning calorimerty; 1H-NMR self-diffusion; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Abstract : The goal of this work was to synthesize complex macromolecular architectures such as dendrimers and dendronized polymers, and evaluate the effect from the dendrons on the optical and material properties. The work presented in this doctoral thesis, Dendrimers and Dendronized Polymers - Synthesis and Characterization, is divided into one minor and one major part. READ MORE

4. 2. Study of Catalyst Deactivation in Three Different Industrial Processes

   Author : Ann-Charlotte Larsson; Mehri Sanati; Ferruccio Trifiro; Växjö universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; deactivation; catalyst; SCR; VOC; steam reforming; aerosol particle; potassium; zinc; ash salts; biomass; organosilicon; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Deactivation of catalysts were investigated focusing on three industrial processes: 1) Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) for abatement of NOx from biomass combustion using V2O5-WO3 /TiO2 catalysts; 2) Catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from printing industries using a Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalyst; and 3) Ni and Pt/Rh catalysts used in steam reforming reaction of bio-syngas obtained from biomass gasification.The aim has been to simulate industrial conditions in laboratory experiments in order to comprehend influence of compounds affecting catalysts performance.

5. 3. Deactivation of Catalysts and Reaction Kinetics for Upgrading of Renewable Oils

   Author : Prakhar Arora; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HVO; Kinetic modeling; Catalyst deactivation; NiMo; Advanced biofuels; Catalyst; Hydrodeoxygenation;

   Abstract : The transport sector is one of the main contributors of greenhouse gas emissions in the world. Advanced biofuels from renewable oils can play a decisive role in reducing carbon emissions from the transport sector. Advanced biofuels from waste streams like tall oil, used cooking oil etc. READ MORE

6. 4. Lean NOx reduction over silver-alumina catalysts - Aspects on synthesis, structure and activity

   Author : Hannes Kannisto; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; freeze-drying; HC-SCR; DRIFTS.; aromatic hydrocarbons; silver-alumina; Lean NOx reduction; selective catalytic reduction; sol-gel; characterization; catalyst preparation; kinetic modeling;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to increase the understanding of how to design highly active silver-alumina catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with hydrocarbons (HC-SCR) in oxygen excess at low temperatures (150-250 °C). Silver-alumina catalysts have been prepared using different methods, including a new unique preparation method developed during the thesis project. READ MORE

7. 5. Mild Wet Torrefaction and Characterization of Woody Biomass from Mozambique for Thermal Applications

   Author : Carlos Alberto Cuvilas; Weihong Weihong Yang; Tobias Richards; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biomass; Wet torrefaction; Fast Pyrolysis; kinetics; Catalyst;

   Abstract : Mozambique has vast forestry resources and also considerable biomass waste material such as bagasse, rice husks, sawdust, coconut husks and shells, cashew nut shell and lump charcoal waste. The potential of the total residues from the agricultural sector and the forest industry is estimated to be approximately 13 PJ. READ MORE
