  1. 1. Production of natural pigments from A. platensis grown on wastewater from local treatment facility.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Hana Faulds; [2023]
    Keywords : Cyanobacteria; pigments; microalgae; wastewater treatment; biotechnology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Although microalgae have been considered for the biological treatment of wastewater since the 1950’s, their potential to efficiently remove pollutants from various streams remains largely untapped and is yet to be utilized at large scale. The production of algal biomass and extraction of high-value compounds has, however, become increasingly popular with large scale farms and biorefineries around the world producing many promising alternatives to petroleum-based products and processes.

  3. 2. Ecological impacts of dam removal in Swedish inland waters : Effects on water chemistry and fish demography

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Johanna Ekman; [2023]
    Keywords : biology; ecology; dam removal; Sweden; impact; inland waters; ecosystem; water chemistry; fish demography; Perca fluviatilis; European perch; biologi; ekologi; dammutrivning; Sverige; påverkan; inlandsvatten; ekosystem; vattenkemi; fiskdemografi; Perca fluviatilis; abborre;

    Abstract : Dams play an important role in our society, but their negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems have led to a need for conservation efforts to mitigate the negative effects. In some instances, dam removal has been suggested to be the most economically and ecologically beneficial restoration method to improve longitudinal connectivity. READ MORE

  4. 3. Using microalgae for removing nutrients from RAS aquaculture effluents - a viable strategy? A case study.

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Samuel Karlsson; [2022-07-06]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The increased global demand for fish has caused a tremendous increase in aquaculture production during the last decade, emphasising the importance of systems with a low climate footprint. One such system is a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) which is land-based as opposed to traditional open systems. READ MORE

  5. 4. Potential for Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal in an activated sludge system for greywater

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Mehrzad Ghassemi; [2022]
    Keywords : Greywater; EBPR; Phosphorus; Biological treatment; Water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As the world's population grows, concerns about water scarcity and rising pollution such as phosphorus and nitrogen have increased significantly. Greywater has been considered by researchers as an ideal alternative to fresh water for decades, and several projects have been implemented to treat and recycle it for various reuse purposes.

  6. 5. Optimization of a two-step anaerobic treatment of wastewater from the Pulp and Paper Industry

    University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

    Author : Sara Bard; [2022]
    Keywords : Wastewater treatment; biogas; methane; pulp and paper mill wastewater; wood raw material; anaerobic treatment; sulphate reduction; UAPB reactor; Vattenrening; biogas; metan; processvatten från pappers- och massaindustrin; träråvara; anaerob rening; sulfatreduktion; UAPB reaktor;

    Abstract : Under de senaste 30 åren så har antalet massa- och pappersbruk minskat medan den totala produktionen av massa och papper har ökat. En högre produktion per bruk tillsammans med en hårdare miljölagstiftning, sätter ett högre tryck på vattenreningen på varje bruk. READ MORE
