  1. 1. Investigating the potential correlations between metal and metalloid concentrations and soil color : A Minor Field Study on the island province of Marinduque, Philippines

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Ivana Pia Saric Söderholm; Erik Readwin; [2023]
    Keywords : Marinduque; Metal and Metalloid; Nix Pro 2 Color Sensor; Philippines; Soil color; X-Ray Fluorescence XRF ; Filippinerna; Jordfärg; Marinduque; Metall och Metalloid; Nix Pro 2 Color Sensor; Röntgenfluorescens XRF ;

    Abstract : This study was carried out as a bachelor's thesis at KTH Royal Institute of Technology during the spring of 2023, investigating the correlation between the color with the concentration of various metal and metalloids (MMs) in the soil of Marinduque, The Philippines. With a history of mineral exploitation, notably copper and gold, the island has faced persistent environmental challenges, exemplified by the catastrophic waste spills in 1993 and 1996 that contaminated the Boac and Mogpog Rivers.

  3. 2. Water quality improvement of highway runoff by the filter material D-Rainclean : A five-month field trial

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : William Gulding; [2023]
    Keywords : Adsorption; D-Rainclean; metal removal; Reactive filter; stormwater treatment;

    Abstract : Highway runoff and its pollutants are of growing concern. These pollutants require treatment as their concentration often are increased. A common removal method is the use of sedimentation ponds that removes particulates through gravity. READ MORE

  4. 3. Dependence of Degradation Mechanisms in Magnesium Alloys on Grain Orientation and Interfaces in 3D

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Materialteknik

    Author : Johan Ranstad; [2023]
    Keywords : Mg-Zn alloys; Diffraction contrast tomography; Isothermal Calorimetry; Immersion testing; Corrosion Rate; Microgalvanic coupling.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Magnesium alloys are promising candidates as biomedical implants. However, a good understanding of their degradation processes is lacking. In this work, degradation in two magnesium alloys were studied in a simple physiological-fluid electrolyte of H2O+0.9wt%NaCl, Mg-5wt%Zn (Z5) & Mg-5wt%Zn-0. READ MORE

  5. 4. Future-competing battery chemistries for large-scale energy storage

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Erik Adolfsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Battery energy storage systems; Nickel-hydrogen battery; Zinc-bromide flow battery; Iron-air battery; Large-scale applications; Batterier för energilagringssystem; Nickel-vätgasbatteri; Zink-brom flödesbatteri; Järn-luftbatteri; Storskaliga användningsområden;

    Abstract : ’Netto-noll utsläpp’ i EU vid 2050 är ett av målen för att påskynda övergången från fossila bränslen till mer förnyelsebara och hållbara alternativ. Detta har däremot introducerat mer turbulens på elnäten. READ MORE

  6. 5. Change in uptake and transfer of zinc in the food chain when predatory fish disappear from the system

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sara Westerström; [2023]
    Keywords : Aquatic food web; Food chain structure; Trophic transfer; Decline of top predators; Stage-structured biomass model; Pollutants; Heavy metals; Zinc; Akvatisk födoväv; Födovävsstruktur; Trofisk överföring; Minskning av toppredatorer; Stegstrukturerad biomassamodell; Föroreningar; Tungmetaller; Zink;

    Abstract : There is a widespread distribution of possibly toxic heavy metals, such as zinc, in aquatic ecosystems. Simultaneously aquatic food webs are changing due to declining predatory fish stocks. READ MORE
