1. 1. Techno-Economic Analysis of Dye Separation in Textile Recycling

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : David Lundberg; [2024]
   Keywords : Dye; Membrane filtration; Electrocoagulation; Techno-economic analysis; Pre-feasibility study; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study determines the technical and economic feasibility of separating dye from a process filtrate in industrial textile recycling using electrocoagulation or sequences of membrane filtration with microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. The lower requirements for treating this stream, compared to previously researched dyehouse effluents, left treatments not good enough for dyehouses viable for this process filtrate. READ MORE

3. 2. Waste or Want: Does processing have an effect on the desirability of upcycled food products? : a Swedish consumer acceptance study

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Joséphine Lefrancq Fröjd; [2024]
   Keywords : Upcycled foods; food processing; consumer acceptance; contingent valuation method; consumer behavior;

   Abstract : Food waste presents a significant obstacle to the food system’s transition to sustainability. With an ability to mitigate industrial food waste and its effects, the concept of upcycled food aims to safely adapt elements from the waste streams for human consumption by transforming them into ingredients to be used in novel ‘upcycled’ food products.

4. 3. Prospects for standardisation of industrial PET plastics to support the transition towards a circular economy

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

   Author : Agnes Ström; [2024]
   Keywords : Standard; standardisation; industrial PET; polyethylene terephthalate; circular economy; plastic; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Plastkonsumtionen har ökat markant över tid och har utvecklats till ett viktigt material i dagens samhälle, men med utmaningen att råvaran främst kommer från fossila källor. Användningen av plast är i linje med den linjära ekonomin och den så kallade slit-och-släng-kulturen, vilket bidrar till felaktig hantering av plastavfall och en ineffektiv användning av resurser.

5. 4. IMPLICATION FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF GOTHENBURG TO ALIGN WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S TARGET REGARDING CLIMATE NEUTRALITY BY 2045 - Scenarios and Consequences

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Nafiseh Kazemi Ashtiani; [2023-06-21]
   Keywords : Climate Neutrality; GHG emissions; higher education institutions HEIs ; Net Zero emission; carbon footprint; carbon capture and storage CCS ;

   Abstract : It is widely acknowledged that one of the most significant global challenges of the 21 st century is climate change. In its Fifth Assessment Report (2014), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) described the present extent of the problem and the hazards involved, citing greenhouse gas emissions from human activities as the primary contributor to global warming since the mid-20th century.

6. 5. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization

   University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

   Author : Lorenzo Centonze; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.
