  1. 21. The Potential of Dissolved Air Flotation for PFAS Reduction in Norrvatten's Future Waterworks

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Madeleine Vikström; [2023]
    Keywords : PFAS4; drinking water production; dissolved air flotation; granular activated carbon filter; sludge management; PFAS4; dricksvattenproduktion; flotation; granulärt aktivt kolfilter; slamhantering;

    Abstract : Norrvatten är en av Sveriges största dricksvattenproducenter. Med ett ökande behov av en större produktionskapacitet och nya regleringar, planerar dem att förbättra sin reningsprocess. En aspekt som kräver omfattande undersökning är val av reningsmetod för att nå den nya gränsen från Livsmedelsverket för fyra PFAS kemikalier. READ MORE

  3. 22. Valorising spent coffee grounds : An assessment of possibilities in the municipality of Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Emma Westling; [2023]
    Keywords : Food waste hierarchy; spent coffee grounds; circular economy; economic assessments; waste valorisation; Matavfallshierarki; Kaffesump; Cirkulär ekonomi; ekonomisk bedömning; avfallsvalorisering;

    Abstract : Circular economy is an economic model that is gaining more and more attention, themodel aims to close production chains by recirculate waste into the system as newraw material. Spent coffee grounds are a waste that has great potential to becomenew products since the spent coffee ground contains many valuable substances suchas polysaccharides, polyphenols, and lipids.

  4. 23. Improving proton therapy planning with photon-counting spectral computed tomography

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Karin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Proton therapy; Medical imaging; Computed Tomography; Protonterapi; Medicinsk avbildning; Datortomografi;

    Abstract : Proton radiation therapy is an alternative to conventional photon radiation therapy, which accounts for the majority of radiation treatments today. The rationale for using protons in radiation therapy lies in their dose deposition properties; photons deposit a radiation dose inversely proportional to the energy, and therefore tissue depth, while protons exhibit a sharp Bragg peak when traversing matter.

  5. 24. Facilitating Social Participation Through Animal Assisted Interventions : A Literature Review of Interventions for Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders

    University essay from Jönköping University/HLK, CHILD

    Author : Svenja Martens; [2023]
    Keywords : Animal Assisted Intervention; Social Participation; Neurodevelopmental Disorders; Children;

    Abstract : Children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) tend to experience restricted social participation and therefore require support in this area. Animal assisted interventions (AAIs) offer a complementary or alternative intervention approach for those children. READ MORE

  6. 25. In situ electrokinetic remediation of soil co-contaminated with trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

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

    Author : Emma Heidrich; [2023]
    Keywords : polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; trace elements; co-contaminated soil; electrokinetic remediation; iron electrodes;

    Abstract : Sites contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be simultaneously contaminated with trace elements. Co-contaminated soil is considered a complex problem since inorganic and organic contaminants behave differently and thereby often require different remediation strategies. READ MORE
