  1. 21. Pharmaceuticals and other chemicals of emerging concern in leachate from a landfill and sludge storage facility

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Victoria Runnäs; [2022]
    Keywords : Chemicals of emerging concern CECs ; pharmaceuticals; leachate; landfill; sludge; wastewater treatment plant WWTP ; Potentiellt hälso- eller miljöfarliga kemikalier; läkemedel; lakvatten; deponi; slam; avloppsreningsverk;

    Abstract : The occurrence of 86 chemicals of emerging concern (CECs) (including pharmaceuticals, parabens, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, pesticides, stimulants, an isoflavone and an industrial chemical) was investigated in this study at Hovgården, a waste facility in Uppsala (Sweden). The selected CECs were analysed using solid phase extraction, sludge extraction and ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. READ MORE

  6. 25. Performance Evaluation of a High Temperature Borehole Thermal Energy Storage Under Influence of Groundwater Flow

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Max Hesselbrandt; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Recent years have seen a growing interest in large-scale high-temperature borehole thermal energy storage (HT-BTES) as a means to store industrial waste heat and solar energy between the seasons. A profound understanding and characterization of the thermal and hydraulic processes involved in such systems is required for the optimal design as well as for environmental assessments of the storage.
