1. 1. Propagation of Nuclear Data Uncertainties for Reactor Physics Parameters in Fluorine-19-based Molten Salt Reactors

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Sigfrid Stjärnholm; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : It could be argued that a renaissance is taking place for the global interest in nuclear power - especially for the development of the next generation of reactor systems that aim at solving the problems with contemporary energy production with nuclear technology. One such proposed concept for Gen IV nuclear power is a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), in which the nuclear fuel is in solution of a salt - often based on fluorine or chlorine. READ MORE

3. 2. Electrolytic Reduction of Iron Oxides in Molten Salt with a Mineralogical Investigation of Magnetite Ore of Tapuli

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Elina Fernö; [2023]
   Keywords : Iron reduction; trace element analysis on magnetite ore; molten salt electrolysis; sodium hydroxide electrolyte; NaOH; greenhouse gas; carbon dioxide; CO2; green ironmaking; Järnreduktion; spårelementanalys på magnetitmalm; smältelektrolys; elektrolys i natriumhydroxid; NaOH; elektrolyt; växthusgas; koldioxid; CO2; grön järnframställning;

   Abstract : This master's thesis covers an investigation of the reduction behavior of different iron oxides when electrolytically reduced with molten salt electrolysis (MSE). The tested iron oxides were wüstite (FeO), hematite (Fe2O3), magnetite (Fe3O4) and magnetite ore concentrate from the Tapuli deposit in Pajala, Norrbotten, Sweden. READ MORE

4. 3. Recycling end-of-life silicon PV panel with molten salt bath

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Liying Yu; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Solar energy is recognized as a clean way to produce electricity. Solar PV's installed capacity is increasing in recent years. However, a PV panel has a 25-year lifespan on average. In actuality, 95% of the mass of PV components can be recycled. READ MORE

5. 4. Integration of an industrial heat pump for a TES-based power-to-heat system : A techno-economic assessment

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Cristian Contreras Aramayo; [2023]
   Keywords : Heat; electricity; industrial heat pump; power-to-heat;

   Abstract : This work aims to investigate the potential electricity savings, as well as the potential decrease in LCoH and OPEX, that an integration of an industrial heat pump can have on a molten salt-based power-to-heat system with integrated thermal energy storage. The original system uses an electric heater to heat up molten salt, which acts as the heat transfer fluid of the system, from which heated steam can be produced and delivered at the output.

6. 5. End-of-life wind blade recycling through thermal process

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

   Author : Kerstin Benz; [2023]
   Keywords : Wind Turbine Blades; Recycling; Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic; Molten Salt Pyrolysis;

   Abstract : Renewable energy production with wind turbines has been rising in the last 30 years and it is a crucial technology, which is necessary for the energy transition. As sustainable as the energy production of wind turbines is, the waste management of the blade material is not. Most of the blades end up on a landfill or get incinerated. READ MORE
