  1. 1. The Potential of Dissolved Air Flotation for PFAS Reduction in Norrvatten's Future Waterworks

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Madeleine Vikström; [2023]
    Keywords : PFAS4; drinking water production; dissolved air flotation; granular activated carbon filter; sludge management; PFAS4; dricksvattenproduktion; flotation; granulärt aktivt kolfilter; slamhantering;

    Abstract : Norrvatten är en av Sveriges största dricksvattenproducenter. Med ett ökande behov av en större produktionskapacitet och nya regleringar, planerar dem att förbättra sin reningsprocess. En aspekt som kräver omfattande undersökning är val av reningsmetod för att nå den nya gränsen från Livsmedelsverket för fyra PFAS kemikalier. READ MORE

  3. 2. Application of electrodes with redox mechanisms for the desalination of water

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Pablo Moreno Cerezo; [2023]
    Keywords : Activated Carbon Cloth ACC ; Capacitive Deionization CDI ; Cyclic Voltammetry CV ; Electrochemistry; Polyaniline PANI ; Prussian Blue PB and Redox Reactions; Aktivt koltyg ACC ; Kapacitiv avjonisering CDI ; Cyklisk voltammetri CV ; Elektrokemi; Polyanilin PANI ; Preussisk blå PB och Redoxreaktioner;

    Abstract : Capacitive deionization is a promising technology for purification and desalination of brackish water with great advantages over current technologies due to its low operating cost and high-water recovery ratio. Most of the system studied relies on the adsorption/desorption capacity of activated carbon electrodes due to its high surface area. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of two-stage GAC filtration for PFAS reduction in drinking water

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Julia Söderberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances PFAS ; Granular activated carbon GAC ; drinking water; removal efficiency; DWTP;

    Abstract : PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of chemicals found in a wide range of industrial and consumer products. Due to their persistent nature and widespread use, concerns have been raised about their impact on human health and the environment. READ MORE

  5. 4. Separation and acidification of digested animal manure : properties of the future organic fertilizers

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Marie Björs; [2023]
    Keywords : Digestate; Eutrophication; Farmers’ survey; Plasma activation; Screw press;

    Abstract : Agricultural areas with a high animal density contribute to eutrophication in waterbodies and seas worldwide due to accumulation of nutrients around animal farms. Animal manure is heavy and bulky, thus unpractical to transport long distances and new techniques have been developed to refine animal manure and make it easier to transport. READ MORE

  6. 5. Reducing the environmental impact of new neighbourhoods during early planning stages using life cycle analysis (LCA) : Towards effective decision support tools for settlements projects

    University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap

    Author : Pierrick Francois Gervasi; [2022]
    Keywords : district LCA; residential neighbourhood; EPD; Urban Print; urban; modelling; normalization; weighing; planet boundaries.;

    Abstract : Since the first warnings on the limits of planet Earth, 50 years ago, policies havenot been sufficient and fast enough to create a more sustainable world, which is todayillustrated by climate change, an increase in resource scarcity, and tremendousbiodiversity loss. Cities have been playing an important role in those environmentalconsequences, today accounting for 60% of greenhouse gases. READ MORE
