  1. 11. INVESTIGATION OF PHOSPHORUS SORPTION BY SEDIMENT DERIVED BIOCHAR - A LITERATURE REVIEW

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Christina Henricson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As excess phosphorus in water bodies causes eutrophication, biochar can be used as an adsorbent to remove phosphorus from water, thus increasing the circularity of phosphorus in the society. This literature review is a summary of recent research on optimised uptake of phosphorus by sediment derived biochar. READ MORE

  3. 12. A Study on Lignin or Zein Based Hydrophobic Coatings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Filippa Wentz; Sandra Olofsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Lignin; Zein; Hydrophobic Coating; Dispersion; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The two by-products lignin, from the paper industry, and zein, from starch production, have shown potential as hydrophobic barriers. Therefore, this study has aimed to produce and in-vestigate the hydrophobicity of lignin or zein dispersions coated on paper. READ MORE

  6. 15. Towards climate optimised riparian buffer zones in boreal forests

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Alice Falk; [2022]
    Keywords : Forestry; Biogeochemical hotspots; Carbon dioxide; Methane;

    Abstract : Boreal forests have the potential to mitigate the increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. However, forestry alters the soil biogeochemical processes which can cause an increase in GHG emissions from nearby water bodies, soil and vegetation. READ MORE
