  1. 1. Cloning and expressing the genes encoding Glycerol dehydratase (GDHt) and 1,3-Propanediol dehydrogenase (1,3-PDDH) in E. coli

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Eleni Pechlivani; [2023]
    Keywords : 1; 3-Propanediol; Glycerol dehydratase; 3-Propanediol dehydrogenase; Glycerol dehydratase reactivase; E. coli; Protein expression; Biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The biodiesel sector has witnessed tremendous growth in recent years, leading to a significant increase in glycerol production as a by-product. Addressing the challenge of glycerol valorization is crucial for the sustainability of the biodiesel industry. READ MORE

  3. 2. Biodiesel production from rape seed oil catalyzed by calcium oxide doped with lithium

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Abdulbasit Abdalla; Emilia Odgren; [2023]
    Keywords : Biodiesel; transesterifiering; FFA; glycerol; FAME; förtvålningsreaktion; Li-CaO; BET; EDS; SEM; heterogena katalysatorer; utbyte; kinetik;

    Abstract : Biodiesel ses som ett av de främsta substituten för fossila bränslen, då den relativt enkelt kan appliceras i redan existerande dieselmotorer. Dagens produktion av biodiesel använder sig av homogena katalysatorer som inte återanvänds i processen, men för en mer cirkulär och i längden en billigare process ses heterogena katalysatorer som ett alternativ.

  4. 3. Life Cycle Assessment of Electric Road Systems - Climate impact in comparison with battery electric vehicles, biogas vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Ebba Söderström; Emanuel Bengtsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Electric road systems; Elonroad; life cycle assessment; rail; feed-in station; pick-up; on-board charger; climate impact; global warming potential; articulated lorry; lower medium car; bus; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : One third of Sweden's total annual greenhouse gas emissions originate from the transport sector today and great changes are thus needed in order to reach the net zero emission target by 2045. One of the most important measures discussed is an increased electrification of the transport sector and a solution with potential to contribute to this transition is electric road systems (ERS), where vehicles are charged dynamically.

  5. 4. Influence of mass transport on glycerol electrooxidation on palladium in alkaline media

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad elektrokemi

    Author : Elvira Lind; [2022]
    Keywords : Glycerol electrooxidation; Palladium; Mass transport; Comsol Multiphysics; Rotating disk electrode; Electrooxidation av glycerol; Palladium; Masstransport; Comsol Multiphysics; Roterande diskelektrod;

    Abstract : Vid produktion av biodiesel produceras även råglycerol (10 vikt%) som biprodukt och utbudet av råglycerol har ökat över de senaste åren till följd av att biodieselproduktionen ökat. Marknadsvärdet för råglycerol är lågt, men det är en utmärkt föregångare till att producera mervärdesprodukter för exempelvis läkemedelsindustrin, kemikalieindustrin eller kosmetika. READ MORE

  6. 5. Characterization and optimization of Rhodosporidium toruloides for production of lipids

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Niharika Singh; [2021]
    Keywords : chemical engineering; oily yeasts; lipids; nitrogen limitation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Oleaginous microorganisms provide an opportunity to produce oils without the use of arable land for cultivation of oil-containing plants. Oleaginous microorganisms are also capable of storing products of pharmaceutical interest alongside storing polymers, which could open new opportunities in the bioplastic industry. READ MORE
