  1. 21. Soaking and fermentation of Lupin seeds to improve their nutritional properties

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Luut Hermans; [2020]
    Keywords : Lupin; Fermentation; Soaking; Dehulling; Phytate; Phenols; Total phenolic content; Protein; Food technology; Livsmedelsteknologi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Lupin seeds contain like many other grains and legumes the mineral inhibitor phytate. The presence of this anti-nutrient decreases the bioavailability of minerals such as zinc and iron. READ MORE

  3. 22. Do Clay Minerals affect the thickener operationin Chuquicamata mine, Calama, Chile?

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Chris Soto; [2020]
    Keywords : Mine; clay minerals; mineral processing;

    Abstract : Chuquicamata mine mineralogy has been studied performing both X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-RayFluorescence (XRF) to determine whether there is any influence in the thickener operations. Thetargeted minerals were the clay group because of their detrimental effect on mining operations asmodify the rheology of the suspensions. READ MORE

  4. 23. Ecological compensation and mineral extraction : a rocky path

    University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Author : Annie Burman; [2020]
    Keywords : No-Net-Loss; License to trash; Sustainable development; Sustainability science; Conservation; Mining; Biodiversity offsets; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Ecological compensation builds on the idea of substitutability, meaning that destroyed values can be replaced or substituted with new values that are equal to the ones lost. Through this equivalence between “lost” and “gained” values compensation is meant to allow dynamic economic development without causing irreversible biodiversity loss. READ MORE

  5. 24. Tribology of newly developed EAL versus water in hydropower turbine bearings

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

    Author : Nayan Dhakal; [2019]
    Keywords : water-based lubrication; hydropower; turbine bearings; environmentally adaptive lubricants; modified water; viscosity modifiers; polyvinylpyrrolidone; poly sodium 4-styrenesulfonate ; UHMWPE; wear;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for more readily bio-degradable, renewable and non-toxic environmentally adaptive lubricants with a lower degree of bioaccumulation has escalated the investigation of water-based lubricants as the potential alternatives for conventional mineral-based oils. Water is an excellent environmentally adapted lubricant; however, it is a low viscous fluid and holds downsides of having corrosive nature and extremely low pressure-viscosity coefficient leading to insufficient load-carrying capacity.

  6. 25. Experimental Study of Mineral Carbonation of Wollastonite for Increased CO2 Uptake

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Dina Babiker; Matilda Ahlstrand; [2019]
    Keywords : Concrete; Mineral Carbonation; CO2 Sequestration; Wollastonite; Calcium Silicate; Betong; Mineral karbonatisering CO2-sekvestrering; Wollastonit; Kalciumsilicat;

    Abstract : The cement and concrete industry stand for approximately 8% of the global CO2 emissions. The demand of concrete and cement is expected to increase rapidly with the growing world population and increased urbanization. This makes it of the utmost importance for the industry to try to mitigate its emissions. READ MORE
