1. Microbial production of chemical building blocks from lignin
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologiAbstract : Plastics, derived from fossil fuels, have raised considerable environmental concerns. This has prompted the search for sustainable and safer plastic precursors alternatives. One alternative explored in the present study is vanillin, a phenolic compound derived from lignin, an abundant and renewable natural polymer. READ MORE

2. Cloning and expressing the genes encoding Glycerol dehydratase (GDHt) and 1,3-Propanediol dehydrogenase (1,3-PDDH) in E. coli
University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)Abstract : The biodiesel sector has witnessed tremendous growth in recent years, leading to a significant increase in glycerol production as a by-product. Addressing the challenge of glycerol valorization is crucial for the sustainability of the biodiesel industry. READ MORE

3. Biopolymers processed and used as enzyme carriers
University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologiAbstract : Syftet med detta masterprojekt var att undersöka möjligheten att använda biobaserat, mjukgjort natriumalginat (NaAlg) som enzymbärare. Alginaterna görs traditionellt bearbetbara genom att tillsätta olika mjukgörare, såsom polyoler (glycerol, sorbitol, etc.), i detta arbete användes glycerol. READ MORE

4. Biodiesel production from rape seed oil catalyzed by calcium oxide doped with lithium
University essay from KTH/KemiteknikAbstract : Biodiesel ses som ett av de främsta substituten för fossila bränslen, då den relativt enkelt kan appliceras i redan existerande dieselmotorer. Dagens produktion av biodiesel använder sig av homogena katalysatorer som inte återanvänds i processen, men för en mer cirkulär och i längden en billigare process ses heterogena katalysatorer som ett alternativ.

5. Incorporation of Plasticizers through Refining into Wood Pulp : A Potential Route For Bio-based Thermoplastic Materials
University essay from KTH/MaterialvetenskapAbstract : Fibers are interesting materials alternative to replace conventional fossil-based plastics, as they are bio-based and do not lead to CO2 emissions. Due to their limited ductility, it is difficult to use them to make complex three-dimensional shapes. READ MORE
