  1. 1. Techno-Economic Analysis of Dye Separation in Textile Recycling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : David Lundberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Dye; Membrane filtration; Electrocoagulation; Techno-economic analysis; Pre-feasibility study; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study determines the technical and economic feasibility of separating dye from a process filtrate in industrial textile recycling using electrocoagulation or sequences of membrane filtration with microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. The lower requirements for treating this stream, compared to previously researched dyehouse effluents, left treatments not good enough for dyehouses viable for this process filtrate. READ MORE

  3. 2. Fungi as a potential solution to microplastic pollution: A qualitative study examining the opportunities and obstacles of implementing mycoremediation in Swedish agricultural soils from a perspective of ecological sustainability

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för globala studier

    Author : Julia Zajac; [2023-11-08]

  4. 3. ASSESSING MICROBIAL COMMUNITY RESPONSES IN A CHEMICALLY STRESSED FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEM USING ENVIRONMENTAL DNA

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Nicolai Laufer; [2023-06-21]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Microbial communities represent the fundamental cornerstones of riverine ecosystems because they are involved in numerous processes which mediate ecosystem services. However, riverine ecosystems are currently massively altered by a variety of anthropogenic activities which includes changes in landuse and chemical pollution. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modelling the chemical recycling of plastic waste via pyrolysis and analysing integration with existing refinery infrastructure

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Simon Dahl; [2023]
    Keywords : Pyrolysis; Recycling; Integration; Modelling; Simulation; Techno-economic; Plastic; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Current plastic management is unsustainable as large amounts of plastic end up landfilled or in the ocean, necessitating an expansion of waste management infrastructure. Pyrolysis is a viable chemical recycling option, and in this report a pyrolysis model is constructed in Aspen Plus. READ MORE
