  1. 1. Recovery of Dialcohol Cellulose using Micro- and Ultrafiltration Processes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Lina Näslund; Gabriella Petersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Membrane filtration; Ultrafiltration; Microfiltration; Dialcohol cellulose; DAC; Bioplastics; Chemical engineering; Process design; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The waste management and production of plastic play a concerning part in global warming and continues to have a negative effect on the environment. A promising strategy to address this challenge is to develop new sustainable materials, to replace current fossil-based plastics. READ MORE

  3. 2. Synthesis and characterization of a greener poly(vinyl acetate) adhesive

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Xiuting Zhang; [2023]
    Keywords : poly vinyl acetate -grafted-chitosan; chitosan; poly vinyl acetate ; ceric ammonium nitrate; green adhesive; poly vinyl acetat -ympad kitosan; poly vinyl acetat ; ceriumammoniumnitrat CAN ; grönt lim;

    Abstract : To produce a greener adhesive is always an issue of concern to the commercial market and global environment. The environmental request for producing greener and bio-based adhesives leads to an increased awareness of replacing fossil-based components in adhesives with bio-based alternatives. READ MORE

  4. 3. Incorporation of Plasticizers through Refining into Wood Pulp : A Potential Route For Bio-based Thermoplastic Materials

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Victor Eric Pierre Chartrain; [2023]
    Keywords : Cellulose; Paper; Plasticizer; Mechanical Refining; Cellulosa; Papper; Mjukgörare; mekanisk bearbetning;

    Abstract : Fibers are interesting materials alternative to replace conventional fossil-based plastics, as they are bio-based and do not lead to CO2 emissions. Due to their limited ductility, it is difficult to use them to make complex three-dimensional shapes. READ MORE

  5. 4. Potential of tall oil pitch as phase change material in lignin-shelled hybrid nanocapsules for thermal energy storage.

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemiteknik

    Author : Helena Viberg Nissilä; [2022]
    Keywords : phase change materials PCM ; tall oil pitch TOP ; lignin; nanocapsules; hybrid material; thermal storage;

    Abstract : A prospect in utilizing thermal energy in development of energy systems is by the useof phase change materials (PCMs). PCMs are materials that can store and releaseenergy during phase changes, e.g. from solid to liquid. READ MORE

  6. 5. Influence of coal particle sizes on the mechanical strength of iron-carbon briquettes : With focus on steelmaking applications

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Daniel Zaharije Hodgson; Efe Karadag; Maxime Pierre Jean-Claude Saillen; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Replacing fossil carbon materials with renewable biocarbon is one way to reduce the net carbon dioxide emissions of the iron and steelmaking industry. Carburization is an important application in the electric arc furnace (EAF), and is mostly achieved by adding fossil-based carbon materials into the melt today. READ MORE
