  1. 1. Petrological, geochemical and structural evidence of fluid-rock interaction in the Siljan Ring

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

    Author : William Crang; [2024]
    Keywords : methane; hydrothermal fluids; fluid-rock interaction; impact craters; reduction haloes; pyrite preservation; Siljan Ring;

    Abstract : The Siljan Ring in Dalarna, Sweden is the site of the largest meteor impact crater in Europe and has long been a topic of discussion regarding methane production. However, the source of this methane and the timing of production in relation to the impact remain unclear. READ MORE

  3. 2. Idealised remediation scenario in two small-scale intersecting fractures

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Agnes Zúniga Ekenberg; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Analysis of mass transport in rock fractures has become increasingly important in underground storage of radioactive materials and remediation of polluted groundwater in fractured rock aquifers. Permeability of rock mass is regulated by present rock fractures, where flow is mainly through the fracture networks. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modelling of Fluid Flow and Contaminant Transport in Fractured Rock : Case Study

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Ebba Pegestam; [2022]
    Keywords : Contaminant transport; Discrete Fracture Network; Geology; Geohydrology; Groundwater transport; Fracture; Drinking water; Contamination; Föroreningar; flödestransport; spricknätverk; geologi; geohydrologi; grundvattentransport; sprickor; dricksvatten;

    Abstract : Drinking water contamination is a big concern in Sweden and is commonly traced back to being waste from former manufacturing industrial sites. Pollutants in the topsoil can be remediated by several techniques, such as decontamination or excavation but the toxins already enclosed in the bedrock cannot be treated the same and is harder to track possible contaminant pathways.

  5. 4. Characterization methodology to assess the mechanical properties of delignified birch/PMMA transparent wood biocomposites

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Nicolò Arcieri; [2022]
    Keywords : Transparent wood; mechanical properties; fracture toughness; in situ experiments; cohesive zone model; Transparent trä; mekaniska egenskaper; brottsstyrka; in situ-experiment; modell för kohesionszonen;

    Abstract : Transparent trä biokompositer (TW) är en ny attraktiv klass av biokomposit. De är uppbyggda av delignifierat trä som impregnerats med en polymer med matchande brytningsindexet.  TW kan skräddarsys för inom ett brett spektrum av funktionella, optiska och mekaniska egenskaper.

  6. 5. Correlation between microstructure and fatigue cracks in cast aluminium alloy A205

    University essay from Jönköping University/Tekniska Högskolan

    Author : Max Holmberg; Pontus Sundberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Aluminium Alloy A205;

    Abstract : Materials research in the aerospace industry is, among other things, focused on reducing the weight and increasing the life of components. Materials with high strength and long lifespan are therefore examined. READ MORE
