  1. 21. Optimizing Conditions of Coagulation for Removal of Natural Organic Matter (NOM) : Comparison of Removal Efficiency of NOM When Using Bench-Scale Inline Coagulation Over Ultrafiltration and Classical Jar Tests

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Hiwa Oveisy; [2023]
    Keywords : drinking water; in-line coagulation; inline coagulation; jar test; membrane filtration; NOM removal; treatment; ultrafiltration; behandling; dricksvatten; inlinekoagulering; krusprov; membranfiltrering; NOM-borttagning; onlinekoagulering; ultrafiltrering;

    Abstract : Abstract The removal of Natural Organic Matter (NOM) from water supplies is crucial for the provision of clean, safe drinking water. Lab-scale experiments have been extensively utilized in water treatment facilities to optimize this process. The most used lab-scale method is known as jar test. READ MORE

  3. 22. Correlation between Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of reindeer pasture plants : Korrelation mellan Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) och smältbarhet av renbetesväxter i vomvätska in vitro (VOS)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Jannica Helmersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; NDVI; in vitro organic matter digestibility; IVOMD; VOS; caribou; Rangifer tarandus; reindeer pasture plants; drone;

    Abstract : Renen livnär sig på många olika betesväxter och den följer växtfenologins utveckling under barmarkssäsongen, vilket resulterar i högkvalitativt foderintag. Levande växtbiomassa kan uppskattas på landskapsnivå genom att använda vegetationsindex som värderar vegetation utifrån spektrala mätningar. READ MORE

  4. 23. Barium in the O horizon of soils near Sundsvall, northern Sweden : From local minerals or from anthropogenic emissions?

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Mattias Åsberg Gencturk; [2023]
    Keywords : Barium; soil; organic horizon;

    Abstract : Concentrations of potentially toxic metals in surface soils are important to investigate before building new residential areas. Prior to development of a residential area in Sundsvall, northern Sweden, it was observed that barium (Ba) concentrations in the soil at the site exceeded the guideline value of 200 mg kg-1 outlined by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.

  5. 24. Mercury accumulation in lake sediments on different time scales – the influence of algal primary production

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Anne Rebotzke; [2023]
    Keywords : mercury; lake sediment; primary productivity; algal scavenging; biogenic silica; diatom proxy; chlorophyll-a; organic matter;

    Abstract : The aim of this work is to test the proposed approach of algal scavenging as a driver of sediment mercury (Hg) on different time scales and to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of Hg accumulation in lake sediments. A 3000-year sediment record from Nylandssjön in northern Sweden was analysed for this purpose, as well as a 20-year sediment record from the seasonal sediment traps of this lake. READ MORE

  6. 25. Aluminum levels in the O-horizon of soils near Sundsvall, Sweden : Are levels of Al elevated due to smelter emission?

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Mattias Sundin; [2023]
    Keywords : Aluminium; Smelter emissions; O-horizon; Al concentration; Scots’ pine needles;

    Abstract : Aluminum (Al) is a potentially toxic element for humans, animals, and plants. Al emitted from smelter plants is one source of Al that may be responsible for increased exposure to humans and the environment. READ MORE
