  1. 1. Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance (PFAS) Emissions from Recycling Processes of Lithium-Ion Batteries

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturkemi

    Author : Amanda Rensmo; [2022]
    Keywords : lithium-ion; battery; PFAS; recycling; LIB recycling; ion chromatography; hydrometallurgy; thermal processes; persistent;

    Abstract : The lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling industry is currently under development to improve the yields for critical metals. However, the organic components of LIBs must also be handled, which may result in harmful chemical emissions as by-products. READ MORE

  3. 2. Classifying patients' response to tumour treatment from PET/CT data: a machine learning approach

  4. 3. Speciation of metals in contaminated sediments in the Kalmar County, Sweden : an initial approach toward sediment mining

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Homayoun Fathollahzadeh; [2013]
    Keywords : Sediment mining; harbor; semi-enclosed bay; speciation; metals; sequential extraction procedure; recovery; sustainable; environmental footprint; environmental assessment;

    Abstract : In response to the growing numbers of contaminated sites, concerns about proper management with reduced environmental footprints have been raised. In the present study, mining of highly contaminated sediments to recover valuable elements such as metals and nutrients is proposed as sustainable approach, both through enhancing resilience of ecosystems and remediation, beside probable turnovers.
