  2. 1. Recovery and reuse of TiO2 and other pigments from paint waste

    Author : Mikael Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Titanium dioxide; Paint Waste; Recovery; Pyrolysis;

    Abstract : Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has numerous applications in our society, most notably as a white pigment in products such as paint, paper and plastic. Since 2010 there has been a sharp increase in the demand for and price of TiO2. As a result new and innovative ways of TiO2 production are needed. READ MORE

  4. 2. Towards sustainable plastics : Microbial production of aromatic and aliphatic building blocks from biobased feedstock and plastic hydrolysate

    Author : Oliver Englund Örn; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cell factories; Biobased plastics; Protocatechuic acid; Adipic acid; 4-Hydroxybyratate; 1; 4-Butanediol; PBAT; Enzymatic recycling; Synthetic promoter library;

    Abstract : The current plastic system is unsustainable and needs to change. Plastics are mainly produced from fossil feedstock, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, and low rate of post-consumer recycling results in pollution on land and in oceans with high ecological impact, and huge loss of valuable material.

  5. 3. Gamma irradiation in multi-cycle ABS recycling- effects on ABS properties and the recovery of antimony

    Author : Sandra Tostar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ABS; antimony; gamma irradiation; recycling; WEEE; plastics;

    Abstract : Electronic waste, also called waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), is the fastest growing waste stream in Europe today. The fast exchange pace of mobile phones, televisions and computers creates an important need to develop recycling areas to take care of, reuse and recycle these materials. READ MORE

  6. 4. Lipid Micro Emboli in Cardiac Surgery

    Author : Atli Eyjolfsson; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on five studies. It includes the characterization of lipid micro emboli in shed mediastinal blood during cardiac surgery. The reuse of blood directly by cardiotomy suction is a common practice in order to reduce the need of blood transfusions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nano- and Micro-sized Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Particles on Solid Surfaces

    Author : Tripta Kamra; Synkrotronljusfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are artificial receptors made by imprinting template molecules in a polymer matrix followed by their removal through washing to obtain a specific and selective template cavities. This property of the MIPs have made them a very efficient material for diverse applications such as chromatography, purification, drug sensing, etc. READ MORE
