  2. 1. Microbial Treatment of Heavy Metal Leachates

    Author : Teresa Alvarez Aliaga; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pollution control; Environmental technology; algal-bacterial symbiosis.; metal precipitation; biosorption; biogenic sulphide; municipal and agricultural solid wastes organic matter degradation; sulphate-reducing bacteria; Bioremediation; heavy metals removal; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Ore-mining, metallurgy and other industrial activities represent the source of heavy metal and radionuclide contamination in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Physico-chemical processes are employed for heavy metal removal from industrial wastewater. READ MORE

  4. 2. Revealing the potential of Nordic microalgae : turning waste streams into resources

    Author : Martin Plöhn; Christiane Funk; Leif J. Jönsson; Maria Barbosa; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microalgae; Biotechnology; bioremediation; Heavy metal; Biopolymer; Biodegradable; Sustainability; Chlorella vulgaris; Biochemistry; biokemi; environmental science; miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : As the world's population grows, the demand for fresh water, food, fuel, energy and modern technology increases tremendously. Not only does this require enormous amounts of resources but it also increases the amount of waste and especially wastewater. READ MORE

  5. 3. Heavy metals in municipal solid waste deposits

    Author : Peter Flyhammar; Institutioner vid LTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; teknisk geologi; Hydrogeologi; geographical and geological engineering; Hydrogeology; substrate; transformation; emission; environment; MSW; heavy metals; accumulation; teknisk geografi; Geophysics; physical oceanography; meteorology; Geofysik; fysisk oceanografi; meteorologi; Environmental technology; pollution control; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp;

    Abstract : Extensive use of heavy metals in modern society influences routes followed by fluxes on the surface of the Earth. The changed flow paths may be harmful for the balance of biological systems at different levels, micro-organisms, human beings and whole ecosystems, since the toxicity of heavy metals is determined by their concentrations and chemical forms.

  6. 4. The Corrosive Effect of Chlorine Containing Species on Waterwalls and Superheater Materials in Waste and Biomass-Fired Power Plants

    Author : Erik Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Combustion; Sulfur recirculation; Superheater corrosion; Heavy metal chlorides; Waterwalls; Alkali-induced corrosion; Biomass; Waste;

    Abstract : To increase power generation from waste- and biomass-fired boilers, it is necessary to increase the temperature and pressure of the steam generated. This implies an increase in the temperature both of the waterwalls and of the steam superheaters in the boiler. READ MORE

  7. 5. Contamination in Swedich waste wood : environmental implications, sources and waste management strategies

    Author : Joakim Krook; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Today, bulk materials, e.g. wood, plastic, steel, and concrete, are contaminated by hazardous substances such as heavy metals, causing environmental and resource problems during waste management. READ MORE
