  1. 1. Changes in lake-water organic carbon over recent centuries in northern Sweden, Västerbotten : Past and present mechanisms, and the potential implications on mercury

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

    Author : Magnusson Petter; [2023]
    Keywords : Lake-water TOC; Summer forest farming; traditional agriculture; land-use; geochemistry; mercury;

    Abstract : Due to the current increase in lake water total organic carbon (LW-TOC), many studies have investigated the long-term dynamics using lake sediments. However, these have mainly been focused on Sweden’s south and south-central parts. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of The Viral Reduction Potential using Ultrafiltration Membranes in the Drinking Water Treatment Process at Norrvatten

    University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

    Author : Emma Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Microbiological barrier; Ultrafiltration; NanoCeram filter; Drinking Water; Raw Water; Mikrobiologisk barriär; Ultrafiltering; NanoCeram filter; Dricksvatten; Råvatten;

    Abstract : En pilotanläggning för ultrafiltering testas nu i Norrvattens reningsprocess för att undersöka ifall den kan användas som en tredje mikrobiologisk barriär i reningsprocessen. Målet med detta projekt är att testa membranets kapacitet att filtrera bort viruspartiklar men även membranet generella reduktionsförmåga för andra mikrobiologiska och kemiska kontamineringar.

  4. 3. Production of polymers from a papermills wastewater using HTC substrate. : Investigating the viability of using wastewater sludge from Skoghalls’ papermill in combination with filtrate from HTC of sewage sludge to produce biological plastic producing polymers.

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för energi-, miljö- och byggteknik

    Author : Regan George; [2023]
    Keywords : PHA; HTC-substrate; Polymer;

    Abstract : Since their conception, plastics have been a dominant product due to the versatility of use, and readily available raw materials. However, the production and consumption of synthetic plastics have continued to increase over the years, leading to a significant rise in plastic waste and its associated environmental impacts, such as the detrimental effects plastic waste has on ecosystems, including the presence of toxic microplastics and risks to marine life, are becoming the focus of criticism.

  5. 4. Newly inundated forest landscapes - hotspots for mercury in water and benthic fauna

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

    Author : Kirstine Evald Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Wetland restoration; Inundation; Mercury cycling; Beaver impoundments; Aquatic biogeochemis-try;

    Abstract : Mercury (Hg) is a widespread contaminant in high-latitude aquatic ecosystems, where it can undergo microbial transfor-mation into toxic methylmercury (MeHg). Due to its chemical properties, MeHg tends to accumulate in the aquatic food chain and will eventually end up in predatory species at the top of the terrestrial food web. READ MORE

  6. 5. Emission of greenhouse gases from constructed wetlands : Nutrient status in relation to methane and nitrous oxide emission

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Christian Lundström; [2022]
    Keywords : Constructed wetland; greenhouse gas emission; nutrient status; ebullition; Anlagd våtmark; växthusgasutsläpp; näringsstatus; ebullition;

    Abstract : Agricultural land releases large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus to water bodies which causes eutrophication. Creating wetlands on agricultural land is one way to prevent this major issue. However, constructed wetlands are a large emission source of greenhouse gases. READ MORE
