  1. 1. Sustainable use of calcium nitrate fertilizer under variable precipitation, soil properties and crop management

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Liliana Marcela Daza Gomez; [2023]
    Keywords : nitrogen.; calcium nitrate; ammonium-based fertilizers; urea; nitrate leaching; nitrous oxide emissions; crop yield;

    Abstract : Application of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture contributes substantially to global greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen leaching. Accordingly, there is a need to increase knowledge about sustainable farming practices to reduce nitrogen losses to the environment without curtailing crop harvest. READ MORE

  3. 2. Effect of Mycorrhizal Inoculation on Growth and Nutrient Uptake by Leek (Allium porrum) fertilized with Inorganic N Combined with Saturated Polonite

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Emmanuel Owusu Boateng; [2023]
    Keywords : Phosphorus; Arbuscular Mycorrhiza fungi; Saturated polonite; Nitrogen; Allium porrum; Sustainability; circular economy;

    Abstract : The continuous rise in global population continues to increase the demand for food. Meeting this rise in demand requires an increase in agricultural input, such as applying fertilizers, including phosphorus (P). READ MORE

  4. 3. Synthesis and characterization of a greener poly(vinyl acetate) adhesive

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Xiuting Zhang; [2023]
    Keywords : poly vinyl acetate -grafted-chitosan; chitosan; poly vinyl acetate ; ceric ammonium nitrate; green adhesive; poly vinyl acetat -ympad kitosan; poly vinyl acetat ; ceriumammoniumnitrat CAN ; grönt lim;

    Abstract : To produce a greener adhesive is always an issue of concern to the commercial market and global environment. The environmental request for producing greener and bio-based adhesives leads to an increased awareness of replacing fossil-based components in adhesives with bio-based alternatives. READ MORE

  5. 4. Ammonium and nitrate sorption by biochar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Yasser Alrhban; [2023]
    Keywords : biochar nitrogen; retention; dialysis; absorption; adsorption; ammonium; nitrate;

    Abstract : Biochar has recently drawn attention due to its ability to increase soil fertility, sequester carbon and its expected effect on reducing the leaching of elements from the soil, especially nitrogen. The possibility of using biochar as a soil amendment to reduce the amount of nitrogen leaching, and then reducing the quantities of nitrogen fertilizers used in agriculture to avoid the bad environmental effects has become a matter of great interest.

  6. 5. Ammonium-Based Aeration Control with Iterative Set-Point Tuning in Wastewater Treatment Plants

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

    Author : Tom Bärnheim; [2023]
    Keywords : adaptive control; ammonium-based aeration control; ammonium feedback control; iterative set-point tuning; process control; wastewater treatment;

    Abstract : In wastewater treatment plants, the amount of ammonium is one example of a measure to determine the quality of the effluent wastewater. Ammonium is regarded as a hazardous chemical for aqueous ecosystems and can cause eutrophication due to its high nitrogen content. READ MORE
