  1. 1. Investigating the Adsorption of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances on Amine-functionalized Mesoporous Carbons

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : MOJISOLA SALISU; [2023]
    Keywords : Mesoporous carbon; PFOA; PFOS; PFAS; Rose Bengal; Adsorption;

    Abstract : Water pollution is a profound ecological concern, exerting detrimental effects on human well-being, ecological systems, and animal life. Among the emerging contaminants that critically influence water quality and have garnered substantial scientific interest in recent times are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). READ MORE

  3. 2. Designing Mesoporous Test Sticks for Measuring PFAS Concentrations in Water

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Nanostrukturerade material

    Author : Amanda Hillås; [2022]
    Keywords : Mesoporous material; PFAS; PFOA; PFOS; Rose Bengal; adsorption;

    Abstract : Water contamination through substances called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is a worldwide problem. Being able to measure the concentrations of PFAS in water is a first step towards beating this contamination. One alternative is to use a field test kit instead of extensive lab equipment to monitor the contaminated areas. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Effect of Citric Acid on Amorphous Calcium Carbonate, Mesoporous Magnesium Carbonate and Calcium Magnesium Composite : A brief study

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

    Author : Abbas Jafari; [2021]
    Keywords : Carbonate Materials; Porous Materials; Carbon Dioxid Sorption; Point Sources; Amorphous Calcium Carbonate; Mesoporouse Magnesium Carbonate; Calcium Magnesium Carbonate Composite;

    Abstract : During the past decades, emission of greenhouse gases has accelerated to unsustainable levels. This is a serious issue that can have a devastating impact on everything from global economy to the terrestrial or marine ecosystem. A method for reducing the emission is named carbon capture and storage, which this project is based on. READ MORE

  5. 4. Use of MMC for Treatment of Pharmaceutical Residues in Wastewater

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskaper

    Author : Laura Calmanovici Pacoste; [2019]
    Keywords : wastewater treatment; pharmaceutical; pollutions; environment; mesoporous magnesium carbonate; adsorption;

    Abstract : Environmentally hazardous pharmaceutical residues in wastewater cannot successfully be removed by standard treatment procedures used in Swedish wastewater plants. There is a need for cheap, efficient techniques for removing pharmaceutical residues from wastewater. READ MORE

  6. 5. Characterizing particulate carbon using dielectric property measurements

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Madeleine Syk; Joakim Vollmer; [2018]
    Keywords : black carbon; elemental carbon; carbonaceous aerosols; soot; fullerene C60; multiwalled carbon nanotubes; mesoporous carbon; impedance; dielectric; snow melting; capacitance; waveguide;

    Abstract : Interest in effects of carbonaceous particles in the atmosphere has recently taken an upswing due to knowledge of how these particles affect our environment. Carbonaceous aerosols are characterized by their dark color, giving them the ability to absorb both incoming and outgoing radiation of all wavelengths in the atmosphere. READ MORE
