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. Evaluation of pharmaceutical removal in seven WWTPs : Efficiency of different treatment technologies

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för miljövetenskap

   Author : Viktor Munkhammar; [2023]
   Keywords : Pharmaceuticals; wastewater treatment plant; removal efficiency; biological treatment; ozonation;

   Abstract : Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are originally not constructed to remove pharmaceuticals from the wastewater. Biological treatment technologies used in many WWTPs today, e.g., activated sludge, MBBR and trickling filters, can, however, remove some pharmaceuticals well. READ MORE

4. 3. Mixture effect of Dexamethasone & Benzo[a]pyrene in the poeciliopsis lucida hepatocellular carcinoma (PLHC-1) cell line

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Lorenz Valentin Karl; [2022-07-06]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : At present days, inland water bodies and seashores show significant levels of various pharmaceuticals. This is to a great extent due to the low removal rate of common wastewater treatment plants when it comes to pharmaceuticals. READ MORE

5. 4. Influence of Wastewater DOM Fractions on the Adsorption of Pharmaceuticals onto Activated Carbon

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Koustubh Karande; [2022]
   Keywords : Wastewater treatment; Dissolved organic matter; Pharmaceuticals; Activated carbon; Hydrophobicity; Molecular weight; Water resources engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Micropollutants in our sources of freshwater is an issue which requires immediate attention. The presence of pharmaceuticals, endocrine disrupting agents, pesticides and other harmful compounds have proven to have impact on the aquatic as well as on human life. READ MORE

6. 5. Design improvements for an Organ-on-chip system : Implementation and evaluation of a bubble trap

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

   Author : Albin Jonasson; Linnéa Soto Carlsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Organ-on-chip; Microfluidics; Lab-on-chip; Lab-on-a-chip; bubble trap; epithelial; endothelial; cells; biomedical engineering; chip; TEER; Mikrofluidik; labb-på-chip; organ-på-chip; medicinsk teknik; medicinteknik; TEER; bubbelfälla; epitelceller; endotelceller;

   Abstract : The field of organ-on-chip is a relatively new area of research and builds upon the principle of engineering microfluidic systems to mimic the body’s internal environment as precisely as possible. Eventually these models could hopefully simulate whole organ-systems and enable the examination of the cell’s or organ’s reaction to foreign substances like new pharmaceuticals in a better way than current models.
