  1. 1. A study on the effects of mercury in the environment: A focus on atmospheric contributions

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap; Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Jonna Petersson; [2023-06-22]
    Keywords : Mercury; deposition; transformation; remediation; ecosystem impact; human health;

    Abstract : Mercury is a metal that can transform between different forms in both the atmosphere and in ecosystems. The transformation as well as properties of the different mercury compounds affect when, how and where the effects will emerge. READ MORE

  3. 2. Microstructure characteristics and tribological behaviour of plasma sprayed ceramic coatings

    University essay from Högskolan Väst/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Luigi Fadini; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermal spray; APS; SPS; tribology; wear resistant ceramic coatings;

    Abstract : Surface engineering is increasingly becoming inevitable for meeting the high-performance requirements constantly expected from modern engineering components. Higher demands for combined functionalities, which a base material alone cannot provide, motivate intensive academic studies on various types of coatings, with the ultimate objective of their practical utilisation in industries.

  4. 3. Mercury in a Swedish landscape over 30 years : a thesis on mercury concentrations in different water-cathments in Krycklan and Degerö stormyr

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Ted Pettersson; Isak Haglund; [2023]
    Keywords : Atmospheric deposition; concentrations; dissolved organic carbon; mercury; methylmercury; peatlands; water-catchments;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to examine trends in concentrations of total mercury (TotHg) and methylmer¬cury (MeHg) in water streams around Vindeln, Sweden, located northwest of Umeå. The relation¬ship between dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and TotHg were also examined in this thesis. READ MORE

  5. 4. Robust TCO’s for CIGS solar cells based on indium tin oxide

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Julia Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : photovoltaics; solar cells; thin film photovoltaics; PV; TCO; transparent conductive oxide; indium tin oxide; ITO; CIGS; solar power; sputtering; RF sputtering; radio frequency sputtering;

    Abstract : The increasing energy demand, combined with the use of harmful non-renewable energy sources calls for the search of alternative methods to cover our energy need.Renewable energy can be harvested in different ways, through the movement of wind and water, biomass, or directly from the rays of the sun, as in the case of photovoltaic (PV) devices.

  6. 5. Temporal Dynamics In Microplastics Within An Indoor Environment: Insights From A Novel Tape-Lifting Method

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Matilda Wiklund; [2022]
    Keywords : Microplastics; tape-lifting; atmospheric fallout; urban environments; Mikroplast;

    Abstract : Microplastics (MPs) constitute a risk to both human and environmental health. It is vital to identify sources and pathways to take the necessary action and limit the number of MPs in our environments. However, we currently have a limited understanding regarding MPs' variation with time in urban environments in an indoor setting. READ MORE
