    University essay from Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI); Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi

    Author : Hamon Hedayatnasab; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Access to safe drinking water and sanitation is a given standard and considered as basic human rights in urban areas and industrialized countries. However, 40 % of the world's population living in rural areas in developing countries lack access to safe drinking water. READ MORE

    Abstract : One of the major challenges in earth sciences and mineral exploration has been to determine with high accuracy and at a fast rate the elemental composition as well as the general chemistry of a rock sample. Many analytical techniques e.g. READ MORE

  4. 3. Polymerized Tubular Silicates in Lower Cambrian Carbonates – Biology or Chemistry?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Scott Green; [2022]
    Keywords : biosignature; tubular structures; Lower Cambrian; silica precipitation; bifurcating; biosignatur; rörstrukturer; Kambrium Serie 3; kiseldioxid utfällning; förgrening;

    Abstract : Shallow marine environments from the Lower Cambrian period were very different to shallow marine environments of today. Tubes of what was thought to be silica recovered from a partly dolomitized carbonate sample collected form a site near Indian Springs, Nevada could help further understand the chemistry and characteristics of such environments.

    Abstract : Primitive magmas can provide important details about the mantle from which they are derived. In this thesis, petrographic observations and new mineral chemistry analyses of the Sälskär breccia from the Alnö alkaline complex, central Sweden, are reported. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of long-term effects of excavated sulfide-bearing rock : - A case study in western Sweden

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

    Author : Ida Sundblom; [2022]
    Keywords : sulfide-bearing rock; acid rock drainage; sulfide oxidation;

    Abstract : Sulfide-bearing rock that is excavated in conjunction with construction projects can cause environmental and construction engineering problems. Sulfidic minerals oxidize when they are exposed to an oxidant and water, which can make them generate acid rock drainage (ARD) with high concentrations of metals and sulphate. READ MORE
