1. Desulphurisation of cement flue gases
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : Flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) is a crucial method to minimise the SO2 emissions from industrial processes. The FGD system utilise an alkaline sorbent to remove SO2 from the flue gases. Calcium in form of limestone is a commonly used sorbent where gypsum is produced asa by-product. READ MORE

2. Temperature-dependent waterbinding on potassiumbirnessite : A potential sorbent for atmospheric water harvesting
University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionenAbstract : The nanolayered manganese oxide birnessite (MnO2) is a naturally occurring mineralin soils and sediments. Its ability to capture and store water within its interlayers, andits great solar absorptivity, could be a part of the solution to global water shortage. READ MORE

4. Sorption of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in contaminated water using sustainable organic- and inorganic materials
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknikAbstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of anthropogenic compounds with unique properties, including chemical inertness, resistance to many degradation processes and amphiphilic structure. This makes them useful in a range of applications, but also very persistent and bioaccumulative in nature, where PFAS have been linked to adverse health effects in both animals and humans. READ MORE

5. Designing Mesoporous Test Sticks for Measuring PFAS Concentrations in Water
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Nanostrukturerade materialAbstract : Water contamination through substances called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is a worldwide problem. Being able to measure the concentrations of PFAS in water is a first step towards beating this contamination. One alternative is to use a field test kit instead of extensive lab equipment to monitor the contaminated areas. READ MORE
