  3. 2. Techno-Economic Analysis of Dye Separation in Textile Recycling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : David Lundberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Dye; Membrane filtration; Electrocoagulation; Techno-economic analysis; Pre-feasibility study; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study determines the technical and economic feasibility of separating dye from a process filtrate in industrial textile recycling using electrocoagulation or sequences of membrane filtration with microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. The lower requirements for treating this stream, compared to previously researched dyehouse effluents, left treatments not good enough for dyehouses viable for this process filtrate. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modelling the chemical recycling of plastic waste via pyrolysis and analysing integration with existing refinery infrastructure

    Abstract : Tillförsel av växtnäring på åkermark är nödvändig för matproduktionen. En återförsel av mänskliga fekalier och urin via källsorterat toalettavfall (klosettavloppsvatten) ökar cirkulationen av näring, bidrar till förbättrad jordhälsa och minskar risken för övergödning i vattendrag.
