  1. 1. Water quality improvement of highway runoff by the filter material D-Rainclean : A five-month field trial

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : William Gulding; [2023]
    Keywords : Adsorption; D-Rainclean; metal removal; Reactive filter; stormwater treatment;

    Abstract : Highway runoff and its pollutants are of growing concern. These pollutants require treatment as their concentration often are increased. A common removal method is the use of sedimentation ponds that removes particulates through gravity. READ MORE

  3. 2. Remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in contaminated water by sorption to pine- and spruce bark

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Rebecka Ayranci Dahlberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances; sorption; pine bark; spruce bark; ultra-short-chain PFAS; short-and long-chain PFAS; elemental analysis; field-test;

    Abstract : PFAS are anthropogenic substances used in many different industrial operations and products because of their unique properties. Due to their negative impact on human health and environmental bioaccumulative characteristics different authorities have addressed the issue. In Sweden the limit is4 ng/L for four different PFAS in drinking water. READ MORE
