  1. 21. Modelling the Flow and Allocation of Materials from Battery Recycling through Production

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Cecilia Kraft; Daniel Laving; [2021]
    Keywords : lithium-ion battery; recycling production; material flow allocation model; litiumjonbatteri; återvinning production; materialflödes- och allokeringsmodell;

    Abstract : With the current shift towards renewable energy sources, the demand for batteries is expected to follow an exponential increase in the future, and lithium-ion batteries will be the bulk of it. In order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from battery production and to secure future availability of critical metals, more batteries will need to be recycled. READ MORE

  3. 22. Concrete with low carbon dioxid emissions : Reduced amount of cement with husk ashes

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Elsa Johannessen; Julia Knutsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Concrete; Oat husk ash; Rice husk ash; Carbon dioxide emissions; Pozzolanic material; Environmental impact; Reduced amount of cement; Betong; Havreskalaska; Risskalaska; Koldioxidutsläpp; Puzzolana material; Miljöpåverkan; Reducerad cementmängd;

    Abstract : The world is facing a major climate threat where carbon dioxide emissions are in focus. At the same time, society requires new buildings and developed infrastructure. Concrete is one of the most common building materials and 30 billion tonnes are produced annually, which corresponds to about 6 percent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. READ MORE

  4. 23. Process simulation of HMF production from wheat bran and sugar beet pulp

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Matilda Petersson; [2021]
    Keywords : 5-hydroxymethylfurfural; Wheat bran; Sugar beet pulp; Process simulation; Aspen Plus; Biorefinery; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Due to the progressing environmental problems related to global warming, the chemical industry is transitioning from fossil to renewable feedstocks. For added environmental benefits, surplus biomass from the agricultural industry which currently does not have any high-value applications can be used for production of chemicals. READ MORE
