2. Application of magnetic nanoparticles and reactive filter materials for wastewater treatment
Abstract : Lately sewage wastewater treatment processes (WWTP) are facing challenges due to strict regulations in quality of effluent standards and waste production. The reuse of wastewater treatment effluents is rapidly gaining attention as a means of achieving sustainable water supply. Therefore, new methods are required to achieve an efficient WWTP. READ MORE

3. Unraveling the importance of thiol compounds on mercury speciation, uptake and transformation by the iron-reducer Geobacter sulfurreducens
Abstract : The biogenic methylation of inorganic, divalent mercury (Hg(II)) by methylating microorganisms leads to formation and bioaccumulation of monomethyl mercury (MeHg) in the environment and can cause severe damage to ecosystems and human health. Diverse microorganisms carry the gene sequence hgcAB and are able to methylate Hg(II) intracellularly. READ MORE

4. Seaweed Integrated Mariculture : Prospects and Constraints Towards Increased Sustainability
Abstract : Increased global demand for seafood and stagnating catches from capture fisheries contributed to the doubling of aquaculture production taking place the last decade. Expansion within the aquaculture sector is expected to persist, and by many seen as the only mean to meet future demand for seafood. READ MORE

5. Long-term development, modeling and management of nutrient loading to inland and coastal waters
Abstract : Environmental and water system protection and restoration require accurate knowledge and quantification of waterborne pollutant transport, retention-release and transformation processes taking place in the subsurface, river, lake and sea water systems, and at the interfaces between these systems. This thesis investigates the importance of spatial model resolution for such quantification and the possible long-term nutrient load development under different human perturbations and nutrient source management scenarios in the Swedish Norrström drainage basin, based on simulations with the GIS-based dynamic nutrient transport-attenuation model POLFLOW.
