  1. 16. Light-activated gas sensing with copper oxide micro- and nanostructures

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Gabriel Yousef; Carl Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : Gas sensors; Gas sensing; Light-activation; Copper oxide; Cuprous Oxide; Nanomaterials;

    Abstract : Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors have proven to be useful in many applications, ranging from detection of hazardous gases to monitoring of air quality. The demand for power efficient and high performance gas sensors has seen an increase in situations facing contemporary society. READ MORE

  3. 17. Sorption of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in contaminated water using sustainable organic- and inorganic materials

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Natalie Storm; [2022]
    Keywords : Sorption | PFAS | Contaminated water | Bark | Steel slag | Biochar | Activated carbon;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of anthropogenic compounds with unique properties, including chemical inertness, resistance to many degradation processes and amphiphilic structure. This makes them useful in a range of applications, but also very persistent and bioaccumulative in nature, where PFAS have been linked to adverse health effects in both animals and humans. READ MORE

  4. 18. Experimental characterization of a specific chemisorbent and a physisorbent for direct air capture application : Analyzing the effect of parameters such as desorption temperature, humidity and varying CO2 partial pressure on the performance of the adsorbent material. (Thesis work carried out at The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), Delft, The Netherlands)

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

    Author : MIT RAKESH SURATI; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Climate change has become an indisputable threat to the planet with global warming being at the forefront. With continuous usage and combustion of fossil fuels, the atmospheric CO2 concentration has kept on increasing leading to higher average temperatures globally. READ MORE

  5. 19. Improvements of an Embedded System for Measuring Supended Particles

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Elektroniska Kretsar och System

    Author : Johan Olsson; Joseph Strandnes; [2022]
    Keywords : transmittance; concentration; suspended particle; microcontroller; microprocessor; LED; photodiode; water treatment; optical;

    Abstract : Particle suspension is a phenomenon when solid particles get trapped in a liquid. This phenomenon is a common occurrence in the water treatment industry. It is typically measured continuously throughout the treatment process to ultimately ensure high water-quality. READ MORE

  6. 20. Low-carbon concretes in infrastructures : Applicability, potential and carbon footprint focusing on the Parisian Metro Line L18

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Romain Durand; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Low-carbon concretes are more and more commonly used to limit the environmental impact of concrete structures. Among concrete structures, infrastructures are characterized by their high load-bearing function (foundations, bridges, aqueducts, dams, etc.). READ MORE
