  1. 21. Evaluating the potential of microplastics and natural organic matter for sorption of hydrophobic organic contaminants based on selected properties

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Sabrina Noël Reaume Zabalgoitia; [2021]
    Keywords : microplastics; natural organic matter; particulate organic matter; sorption; vector;

    Abstract : Interest in microplastic behaviour as vectors for hydrophobic organic pollutants has increased in the literature over recent years, however these materials constitute only one of many organic particulate groups in the environment able to compete for pollutants. This review examines particle characteristics including size, surface area, porosity, and age, and how these may influence natural organic particle and microplastic sorption capacity. READ MORE

  3. 22. Screening of Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography for various Affibody® Molecules

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Sebastian Persson; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Affibody® molecules are small affinity proteins with great opportunities in the application of biotechnological areas. Their popularity as biomolecules in pharmaceutical applications and research entails that the purity of Affibody® molecules is essential for their use as safe medical drugs. READ MORE

  4. 23. Development of corrosion resistant coatings using natural biopolymer and pollen

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Alessandro Armani; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Corrosion is a mechanism that highly reduces the lifetime of metals in different environments, especially in water or moisture environment. The worldwide maintenance cost due to corrosion is estimated in billions of dollars per year, and actual solutions in terms of coating usually contains toxic or environmentally harmful species.

  5. 24. Separation of anode from cathode material from End of Life Li-ion batteries (LIBs)

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Mineralteknik och metallurgi

    Author : Natalia Meireles; [2020]
    Keywords : Lithium ion batteries LIBs ; Recycling processes; Thermal treatment; Flotation;

    Abstract : With the increasing usage of electronics powered by lithium ion batteries, it is more and more importantto improve the recycling process. The current study is focused on reducing graphite content of disposedlithium batteries to aid the further treatment of the batteries. READ MORE

  6. 25. Binding of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) to organic soil horizons of peat and mor : effect of solution chemistry and soil organic matter composition

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Jennifer Makselon; [2019]
    Keywords : sorption; electrostatic interactions; isotherms; partitioning coefficient; soil organic matter; cation; PFOS; PFOA; desorption;

    Abstract : The understanding of sorption processes of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in soils is important for the determination of their fate and transport in the environment. The sorption behavior of PFASs of varying chain length and hydrophilic headgroup was studied in three organic soils, two peat soils and one mor layer, with differing chemical composition of the soil organic matter (SOM).
