  1. 1. Metaller i Vombsjön - Mygglarver som bioindikator för miljöövervakning

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Författare :Siri Bengtsson; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Bioindicators; Chironomidae; Freshwater source; Lake Vomb; Metal concentrations; Pollution; Sediment sampling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : This study investigates concentrations of eight metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Hg, Cr, Ni, As) in the freshwater resource Lake Vomb, located in the south of Sweden (Scania), and explores the potential use of deformed Chironomidae larvae as bioindicator. Sediment samples from six locations were analysed against threshold values from the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management and background values from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.

  3. 2. Modeling PFAS Transport in Groundwater - Exploring current approaches and evaluating parameter importance

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI); Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi

    Författare :Clara Eklund; [2023]
    Nyckelord :PFAS; Groundwater modeling; FEFLOW; Python; Machine learning; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : PFAS contamination in drinking water is a current problem, and new regulations for drinking water limits were recently implemented in each member country of the EU in January this year. Understanding the spread of PFAS in groundwater is therefore important to prevent it from reaching drinking water sources. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Vibrational signals as indicators of soil fauna health? : A novel approach to environmental monitoring of ants

    Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Joel Fransson Forsberg; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Vibrations; Formica ants; Vibrometer; Vibrational signals; Imidacloprid; Before-After-Control-Impact;

    Sammanfattning : Soil fauna provides processes of crucial importance for ecosystem functions, but our ability to observe their actions often depend on destructive methods where the integrity of the studied environment (the soil) is compromised. In this study, I develop and test a new generation of environmental monitoring tools that utilize vibrations made by soil macrofauna to inform about their performance and health. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Possibilities of Reducing Internal Scrap Rates and Increase Scrap Recyclability of Dilute Copper Alloys from Vertical Upwards Continuous Cast (VUCC) Process

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Författare :Minna Olsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :metallurgy; copper; alloy; continuous casting; materials chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Copper and copper alloys are important material systems for the electrification of society. The high workability of the materials makes them appropriate in numerous different applications which require highly conductive properties. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Evaluation of The Viral Reduction Potential using Ultrafiltration Membranes in the Drinking Water Treatment Process at Norrvatten

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

    Författare :Emma Eriksson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Microbiological barrier; Ultrafiltration; NanoCeram filter; Drinking Water; Raw Water; Mikrobiologisk barriär; Ultrafiltering; NanoCeram filter; Dricksvatten; Råvatten;

    Sammanfattning : En pilotanläggning för ultrafiltering testas nu i Norrvattens reningsprocess för att undersöka ifall den kan användas som en tredje mikrobiologisk barriär i reningsprocessen. Målet med detta projekt är att testa membranets kapacitet att filtrera bort viruspartiklar men även membranet generella reduktionsförmåga för andra mikrobiologiska och kemiska kontamineringar. LÄS MER
