21. Co-combustion of Biomass and Waste Fuels in a Fluidised Bed Boiler - Fuel Synergism
Abstract : The objective of this work was to study co-combustion of biomass and waste fuels in a circulating fluidised bed boiler and to detect synergy effects with respect to flue gas composition and ash formation during boiler operation. It was also the aim to perform supplementary thermodynamic equilibrium calculations in order to support the experimental results. READ MORE

22. Heat treatment of solid wood : effects on absorption, strength and colour
Abstract : Wood is a useful construction material, but it has less desirable properties such as poor durability and poor dimensional stability. These problems can be reduced by using various chemical treatments. Increased environmental awareness has raised the demand for more environmentally friendly methods. READ MORE

23. Thermally Modified Timber : Novel Aspects of Bending Behaviour Towards Grading and Structural Applications
Abstract : Thermally modified timber (TMT) has gained market share in Europe as an environmentally friendly and durable building material. Unfortunately, TMT products are currently prohibited for use in structural applications as there is insufficient data to estimate the loss in strength due to thermal modification. READ MORE

24. Light propagation and photonic functionalization of semi-ordered material (transparent wood)
Abstract : Investigating novel materials requires understanding their chemical and optical properties, which allows for finding their uses through functionalization by chemical modification. In this thesis, we are focusing on a material with high anisotropic scattering - transparent wood. READ MORE

25. Studies on Industrial-Scale Thermal Modification of Wood
Abstract : Wood as a raw material is useful for many purposes even though some properties are less than optimal, for example, dimensional stability and durability. These characteristics can however be improved by different treatment methods. READ MORE
