  1. 1. 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

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för globala studier

    Författare :Julia Zajac; [2023-11-08]
    Nyckelord :mycoremediation; ecological sustainability; sustainable development; microplastics; fungi;

    Sammanfattning : The world is facing microplastic pollution in almost all areas, as a result of increased manufacture and use of plastics in recent years. One of the most highly polluted environments are agricultural soils, which are estimated to contain up to 14 percent of all microplastic pollution. Few effective methods exist to solve this problem.

  2. 2. Redeveloping a mixing system in a biomedical device to improve system control and increase its intelligence and effectiveness : Redeveloping a mixing mechanism using ESP32, TMC5130, Bluetooth and CAN-bus

    Master-uppsats, Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Författare :Aref Bahtiti; [2023]
    Nyckelord :CAN-bus; Bluetooth classic; Stepper motor; TMC5130; ESP32; Open loop system; Smartphone application;

    Sammanfattning : Biogas is a renewable energy source produced by decomposing organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Without oxygen, organic matter is broken down in this process, producing a mixture of gases that may be used for a variety of tasks, such as heating, cooking, and producing power. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Banana by-products in Thailand - Exploring its feasibility as bioplastics feedstock for food packaging

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

    Författare :Ratchadetch Termpitipong; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Banana by-products; bio-based packaging; bioplastic; value chain; Thailand; feasibility; DEFT analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : This study aims to determine the operational feasibility of utilizing banana cultivation by-products as an alternative raw material in bioplastic production, replacing bio-based feedstock that is otherwise used as food in Thailand. By following the exploratory qualitative research approach, a combination of secondary sources of information together with interviews with the identified stakeholders involved in banana cultivation and bioplastic value chains were used in data collection process.

  4. 4. Agricultural waste and wood waste for pyrolysis and biochar : An assessment for Rwanda​

    Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Jenny Eliasson; Viktor Carlsson; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Biochar; Pyrolysis; Biochar feedstock characteristics; Agricultural waste; Composition crop residues; Wood waste; Agricultural production Rwanda; Ultimate analysis; Structural composition; Heating Value; RPR; Biokol; Pyrolysis; Råmaterialegenskaper biokol; Jordbruksavfall​; Sammansättning jordbruksavfall; Träavfall; Jordbruksproduktion Rwanda; Värmevärde;

    Sammanfattning : A high priority in order to combat climate change is disposal of waste. In low-income countries, a large portion of biomass residues generated in the forestry, agricultural and industrial sectors could be usable, instead of being seen as waste. For instance, it could be converted into biochar, which is proven to have many environmental benefits. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Use of Agricultural Wastes as Supplementary Cementitious Materials

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Byggvetenskap

    Författare :Ezio Marchetti; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Agricultural waste; Environmental impact; Concrete; Life Cycle Assessment; Oat husk ash; Rice husk ash; Supplementary cementitious materials; Sustainable Construction; Betong; Havreskalaska; Hållbar konstruktion; Jordbruksavfall; Kompletterande cementmaterial; Livscykelanalys; Miljövarudeklaration; Miljöpåverkan; Risskalaska;

    Sammanfattning : Global cement production is continuously increasing from 1990 till 2050 and growing particularly rapidly in developing countries, where it represents a crucial element for infrastructure development and industrialisation. Every tonne of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) produced releases, on average, about 800 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere, or, in total, the overall production of cement represents roughly 7% of all man-made carbon emissions.
