1. 1. Sustainable food packaging based on polyhydroxyalkanoate

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Safana Al-Ashor; [2024]
   Keywords : Biopolymers; Sustainable food packaging; Circular economy; Biobased and biodegradable materials; Food packaging; Processing technologies; Food quality; Shelf-life;

   Abstract : The Norwegian Food Research Institute (Nofima) and the University of Borås worked together to develop this project. The commonly used packaging materials pose a serious threat to the environment, as they are produced from nonrenewable crude oil and cannot decompose naturally. READ MORE

3. 2. Analyzing Raw Material Characteristics for Composite and Bio-composite preparation and Assessing Environmental Impacts through LCA

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Keywords : Plastic; Polymers; Composites; Bio-composites; Synthetic Fibers; Natural Fibers; Mechanical Properties; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; Plast; polymerer; kompositer; biokompositer; syntetiska fibrer; naturliga fibrer; mekaniska egenskaper; livscykelanalys LCA ;

   Abstract : With the population expected to grow dramatically in the future. The existing state of the ecosystem appears to be worse in the future. One of the key culprits that has been wreaking havoc on the ecosystem is the use of plastic that is used to produce composites. READ MORE

4. 3. Wastewater Characterisation for Design and Modelling of Primary Settlers at Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

   Author : Louise Westin; [2023]
   Keywords : Primary Settling Tank; Wastewater Treatment; Settleometer; Particle Settling Velocity Distribution; Modelling.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The primary settling tank (PST) is often one of the first treatment steps at a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and is the first process in the plant to remove significant amounts of suspended solids. Its role in wastewater treatment however, has oftentimes been neglected and little effort has been made to optimize and model the process. READ MORE

5. 4. Utilization of Biomethane in Decarbonising India´s Energy Mix

   University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

   Author : Niraj Ravindra Kunkulol; [2023]
   Keywords : Anaerobic digestion; biogas; biomethane; membrane filtration; pressure swing adsorption; Anaerob rötning; biogas; biometan; membranfiltrering; trycksvängadsorption;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the potential of biomethane production in India, the impact of its integration into the energy mix, and the corresponding Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emission and potential reduction. India, with its huge population and being an agriculturally rich country, produces gigantic amounts of biodegradable waste from various sources such as Municipal Solid Waste (MSW),agricultural waste, animal husbandry, sugar industry, etc. READ MORE

6. 5. Tuning physical and chemical attributes of the synthetic implant poly(L-lactic acid) and its effects on biological stimulation

   University essay from

   Author : Gabriella Sverlinger; Felicia Norman; Nora Othman; Wilma Hämäläinen; Michaela Thyberg; Maja Jonsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Polylactic acid; degradation rate of PLLA; physio- chemical properties of PLA; injectable PLLA;

   Abstract : Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a polymer chain consisting of repeating units of lactic acid (LA) used in various biomedical applications because of its biocompatible features. It is commonly used as a subdermal filler and constitutes as the main ingredient in SculptraR, which is a collagen regenerating filler used to treat lipoatrophy of the cheeks or to rejuvenate the skin.
