1. 11. Prospective Life Cycle Assessment of an Electrochemical Hydrogenation Process Over a Nickel Foam Cathode

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Hanson Appiah-Twum; [2022]
   Keywords : Scale-up; early process design; catalysis; environmental impact; hotspot analysis; green chemistry;

   Abstract : The need for a safe and sustainable chemical industry has called for the development of emerging technologies with improved environmental performance. In this study, an emerging electrochemical hydrogenation process over Ni foam is being developed at the laboratory scale with an expectation of less environmental impacts than a conventional palladium on carbon hydrogenation process.

3. 12. Tree stump manipulation - An experimental method to accelerate decomposition in tree stumps to compensate for the shortfall in dead wood substrate

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvård

   Author : Thomas Leonard Reneman; [2021-11-29]
   Keywords : stumps; dead wood; extraction; biodiversity; natural disturbances; mimicking; manipulation;

   Abstract : Current forestry exploits put a lot of strain on the global ecosystem that all life on earth depends on. Boreal natural dynamic forest environments are turned into sterile clear-cut areas. Forestry exploits also affect the biodiversity by extracting substantial amounts of dead wood substrate. READ MORE

4. 13. Smart components : Creating a competitive edge through smart connected drive train on mining machines

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : KAJOL SINGH; [2021]
   Keywords : Drivetrain; downtime; sensor system; operating data; planned maintenance; spare parts inventory; Drivlina; stillestånd; givarsystem; driftsdata; planerat underhåll; reservdelsinventering;

   Abstract : Major drivetrain components of the Epiroc machines like axles, gearboxes, transmission, torqueconverter, clutch, and bearings are critical components which are focused upon in this thesis. Failure of these major component results in breakdown of the vehicle and if early fault detection is not existing, then this causes engineers and technicians to spend a substantial amount of time to identify the root cause of the failure.

5. 14. A comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study of centralized and decentralized wastewater heat recovery in Stockholm, Sweden

   University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

   Author : Deniz Pektas; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The cities bear a large role in the climate crisis. However, this also means that they have a big potential in the transition towards sustainable communities and a sustainable world. Up to 90 % of energy use within the urban water cycle is allocated to hot water heating for end users. READ MORE

6. 15. Consumption of sustainable food products : A study of the Sustainable purchase perception matrix and Sustainable lead consumers; A life cycle assessment of BäR smoothie

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Cecilia Melén; Mirea Wolff; [2021]
   Keywords : Compromise; Confidence; WTP; PCE; Sustainable lead consumer; Sustainability marketing; Scepticism; Life cycle assessment; LCA; Environmental impact; Global warming; Eutrophication; Primary energy use; Smoothie; Kompromiss; Självförtroende; WTP; PCE; Hållbar marknadsföring; Skepticism; Livscykelanalys; LCA; Miljöpåverkan; Global uppvärmning; Övergödning; Primärenergianvändning; Smoothie;

   Abstract : Part 1 The scientific community has identified an attitude-action gap for demographic and psychographic variables when studying sustainable purchase behaviour. By focusing on what happens during the purchase instead of the purchaser, this cross-sectional study aims to understand sustainable purchase behaviour when consumers purchase sustainable food.
