1. 11. Removal Characteristics of Fibrous and Particulate Microplastics : A Study of the Effectiveness of Coagulation-Flocculation- Sedimentation

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Amrith Kumar; [2022]
   Keywords : Coagulation; flocculation; jar test; microplastics; sedimentation; water treatment; Burktest; flockning; koagulering; mikroplaster; sedimentering; vattenrening;

   Abstract : The rapid proliferation of microplastics (MPs) over the last few decades have raised alarms about the major environmental and health impacts posed by this anthropogenic source. The widespread propagation and transport of MP particles in water sources have accelerated the need to study the eco- toxicological impacts as well as the efficacy of various removal mechanisms from these critical water sources.

   Author : Ingrid Jönsson; [2021]
   Keywords : Emulsion; bio-based; absorption; coating; hydrophobicity; Emulsion; biobaserad; absorption; ytbehandling; hydrophobicitet;

   Abstract : Syftet med detta examensarbete var att utveckla en helt bio-baserad vatten- och smutsavstötande ytbehandling för trä med ambitionen att ersätta en icke bio-baserad referens produkt på marknaden. Flera emulsioner med oljor och vaxer har framställts och analyserats utefter emulsionernas stabilitet och kvalitet. READ MORE

4. 13. Investigation of the binding effect of fungal fiber (grown on apple pomace) in the formation of lyocell nonwoven textiles and their potential applications

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Xue Luo; [2021]
   Keywords : lyocell; nonwovens; binder; filamentous fungi; wet-laid; fungal microfibers; apple pomace; cellulose;

   Abstract : This project combines nonwoven technology, biological technology and food waste management and seeks for this feasibility to use fungal microfiber (FM) as a binder for lyocell pro-duction and the characterizations for possible applications. Rhizopus delemar was cultivated apple pomace in liquid-state fermentation to obtain mycelia biomass. READ MORE
