  1. 6. Optimization of a one-part geopolymerization method for lab-scale, using waste glass wool as a precursor

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Oscar Enander; [2022]
    Keywords : Materials chemistry; Geopolymer; Glass wool; Recycling; Curing time; Curing temperature; Cement; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Geopolymers are amorphous inorganic polymeric structures. They are used as binding agents and can be compared to cementitious materials such as ordinary Portland cement. This thesis aims to produce geopolymers from waste glass wool. Today glass wool is found in isolation, both thermal and sound insulation, and it is not being recycled. READ MORE

  3. 7. Economic and environmental optimization of deep energy renovation strategies for an office building in Sweden

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggd miljö och energiteknik (BET)

    Abstract : The focus of the project is recycling of the insulation material mineral wool. The aim is to investigate the potential of using post-consumer wool from landfill as fiber reinforcement in a polymer matrix. READ MORE

  5. 9. Development and validation of sample clean-up using solid phase extraction prior oil spill fingerprinting

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Cheryl Loorents; [2022]
    Keywords : Oil spill; chemical fingerprint; solid phase extraction SPE ; development; validation.;

    Abstract : In a forensic investigation involving oil, a comparative analysis named oil spill fingerprinting between a source and an oil spill is normally performed. It is based on detecting a certain selection of biomarkers with gas chromatography (GC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) which are later divided into diagnostic ratios (DRs). READ MORE

  6. 10. Sustainability of Construction and Demolition Waste : A Closed-loop Supply Chain for Flat Glass

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för ekonomistyrning och logistik (ELO)

    Author : Thor Lobekk Dahl; Yichang Lu; Sidney Carina Thill; [2021]
    Keywords : Closed-loop Supply Chain; Circular Economy; Flat Glass; Construction and Demolition Waste; Secondary Material; Costs;

    Abstract : Purpose: This thesis’ purpose is to identify a CLSC model of flat glass, including actors,waste sources, and what can be done with recycled flat glass. In addition, this researchaims to propose a cost structure of a flat glass CLSC. READ MORE
