    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Diana Jonsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Fiber bank; fiber rich-sediment; mercury; contaminants; gas ebullition; pulp-fiber; wood industry; paper industry; environmental toxicity; wood waste;

    Abstract : Mercury contamination is an environmental issue with high priority due to its high toxicity. In addition to the atmospheric deposition, several lakes and rivers in Sweden are contaminated as a result from wood and pulp-fiber industries which stretches back 200 years. READ MORE

  3. 12. Analysis of European post-consumer textile waste for automated sorting

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Maria Marin Perez; [2021]
    Keywords : Sustainable development; fibre-to-fibre recycling; post-consumer textile; automated textile sorting; SIPTex.;

    Abstract : The textile industry is linked to several major environmental problems, as a consequence there is an interest at European level to reduce the impact of the industry. In Sweden there are several initiatives to increase the circularity of textile for example by promoting fibre-to-fibre textile recycling. READ MORE

    Abstract : To reduce the environmental impact and minimize the exploitation of the depleting re-sources, the transition to a circular economy is vital. It proposes an economy of reduced ma-terial consumption and increased reuse and recycling of plastics and other materials. READ MORE

  5. 14. Study of a valorisation process for biomass industrial waste involving acid cooking and enzymatic hydrolysis

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Nicolas Brunet; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lignocellulosic biomass has potential to chip in the chemical and biofuels supplies in future societies,even though lignocellulose is a recalcitrant structure that has to be treated in several steps. After theirproper life cycle, wood-derived materials such as particleboards have few outcomes today apart fromenergy recovery for heat production. READ MORE

  6. 15. Life cycle assessment of industrialized lithium-ion battery recycling : Mechanical and hydrometallurgical treatment from an ex-ante perspective

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Jonathan Balsvik; [2020]
    Keywords : Environmental impact; climate change; carbon footprint; up-scaling; end-of-life; waste management;

    Abstract : As the use of lithium-ion batteries exponentially increases through demand for electric vehicles and energy storage systems, so will the need for end-of-life treatment subsequently increase. Recycling the valuable materials from batteries in an efficient and extensive fashion could decrease the environmental impacts of batteries. READ MORE
