1. Modelling the chemical recycling of plastic waste via pyrolysis and analysing integration with existing refinery infrastructure
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)Abstract : Current plastic management is unsustainable as large amounts of plastic end up landfilled or in the ocean, necessitating an expansion of waste management infrastructure. Pyrolysis is a viable chemical recycling option, and in this report a pyrolysis model is constructed in Aspen Plus. READ MORE

2. Yearly distribution and composition of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Luleå wastewater treatment plant
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a large group of substances that are used in a large variety of products because of their unique water and dirt repellent properties. The substances are extremely persistent and can spread over large distances in groundwater, surface water, and in the air, which makes them an environmental and a health concern. READ MORE

4. Remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in contaminated water by sorption to pine- and spruce bark
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknikAbstract : PFAS are anthropogenic substances used in many different industrial operations and products because of their unique properties. Due to their negative impact on human health and environmental bioaccumulative characteristics different authorities have addressed the issue. In Sweden the limit is4 ng/L for four different PFAS in drinking water. READ MORE

5. In situ electrokinetic remediation of soil co-contaminated with trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Sites contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be simultaneously contaminated with trace elements. Co-contaminated soil is considered a complex problem since inorganic and organic contaminants behave differently and thereby often require different remediation strategies. READ MORE
