1. The potential for Binding PFAS Using Biochar and Phytoremediation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : PFAS is a group of long-lasting chemicals with multiple known toxicological effects which has been found everywhere in nature. One of the possible source points of PFAS is via landfill through leachate leaving the area. It is therefore important to investigate and implementing remediation techniques to reduce the contamination risk. READ MORE

2. Pyrolytic biochar stability assessed by chemical accelerating aging method
University essay from KTH/MaterialvetenskapAbstract : Now that the EU and Sweden have adopted a new climate policy framework to regulate net carbon emission. A new concept, negative CO2 emission, has been considered to neutralize the CO2 generated from necessary consumption of fossil fuel. Biochar, as a pyrolytic product from biomass, can store carbon in a relatively stable way. READ MORE

5. BIOMASS PRODUCTION FOR ENERGY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRY : Case Study: CHINA and NIGERIA
University essay from Avdelningen för bygg- energi- och miljöteknikAbstract : Most developing countries of the world still uses biomass for domestic energy, this is mostly used in the rural areas and using our case study which is Nigeria and China. We have been able to establish the potential of biomass production energy use by looking at calorific values of some biomass such As-harvested wood, Dry wood, Straw Miscanthus Coal which was discussed on the introduction part of this thesis.
