2. 1. Towards Energy-Efficient Drinking Water Production using Biomimicry

   Author : Simon Isaksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Filter; Membrane Protein; Supported Lipid Bilayer; Drinking Water; Water Treatment; Silica; Aquaporin; Liposome; Biomimicry;

   Abstract : Water is a prerequisite for life and we therefore need pure drinking water to survive. Yet there are more than half a billion people that do not have access to pure drinking water. Water treatment can be performed in many different ways, one of the most commonly used being filtration. READ MORE

4. 2. Efficient treatment of forest industrial wastewaters : Energy efficiency and resilience during disturbances

   Author : Maria Sandberg; Karin Granström; Jonas Berghel; Alan Werker; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Forest industry; wastewater; oxygen transfer rate; black liquor; surface active; extractives; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

   Abstract : This work concerns the efficient treatment of wastewaters from pulp and paper mills by means of aerobic biological processes. For treatment processes there are many aspects of efficiency and the present study investigates both energy efficiency and purification efficiency during disturbances. READ MORE

5. 3. Sludge from pulp and paper mills for biogas production : Strategies to improve energy performance in wastewater treatment and sludge management

   Author : Alina Hagelqvist; Thomas Nilsson; Karin M. Granström; Bengt Månsson; Bo Mattiasson; Thomas Welander; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; anaerobic digestion; pulp and paper mill sludge; methane production; energy efficient sludge management; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

   Abstract : The production of pulp and paper is associated with the generation of large quantities of wastewater that has to be purified to avoid severe pollution of the environment. Wastewater purification in pulp and paper mills combines sedimentation, biological treatment, chemical precipitation, flotation and anaerobic treatment, and the specific combination of techniques is determined by the local conditions.

6. 4. Nanocellulose and Metal-Organic Framework-Based Composites : Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications

   Author : Shengyang Zhou; Chao Xu; Maria Strömme; Lars Wågberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nanocellulose; Metal–organic frameworks; Nanocomposites; Interfacial synthesis; Porous materials; Energy storage; Water purification;

   Abstract : Nanocellulose is one of the most promising of the green materials available for use in a sustainable economy because of its natural abundance and renewability. Compared to petroleum‒derived synthetic polymers, nanocellulose has many unparalleled advantages such as its unique nanofibrous structure, high thermal stability, mechanical flexibility, rich surface chemistry, biocompatibility, and biodegradability.

7. 5. Three-dimensional structured carbon foam : synthesis and applications

   Author : Ngoc Tung Pham; Jyri-Pekka Mikkola; Krisztian Kordas; William Siljebo; Dmitry Yu. Murzin; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbon foam; melamine foam; absorbent; water purification; heterogeneous catalyst; catalyst support; SpinChem®; rotating bed reactor; water electrolysis; energy conversion;

   Abstract : Recently, due to the unique properties and structures such as large geometric surface area, electrical conductivity and light weight, 3D structured carbon materials have been attracting extensive attention from scientists. Moreover, the materials, which can provide well-defined pathways for reactants to easily access active sites, are extremely useful for energy conversion as well as environmental and catalysis applications.
