1. Sulfur-Related Conservation Concerns in Marine Archaeological Wood : The Origin, Speciation and Distribution of Accumulated Sulfur with Some Remedies for the Vasa
Sammanfattning : Synchrotron-based sulfur spectroscopy reveals a common concern for marine archaeological wood from seawater: accumulation of reduced sulfur compounds in two pathways. The distribution of sulfur species in the oak wood cell structure was mapped by scanning x-ray spectro-microscopy (SXM). LÄS MER
2. Deactivation of SCR catalysts - Impact of sulfur and the use of biofuels
Sammanfattning : In a near future, limits on CO2 emissions from vehicles will be introduced, which requires development of more fuel-efficient engines and most likely a transition towards the use of more biofuels. With the implementation of biofuels several issues could arise, one being the lack of fuel standards for these new type of fuels, leading to higher concentrations of catalyst poisons compared to conventional fossil fuels.

3. Structure and bonding of sulfur-containing molecules and complexes
Sammanfattning : Synchrotron-based spectroscopic techniques enable investigations of the many important biological and environmental functions of the ubiquitous element sulfur. In this thesis the methods for interpreting sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra are developed and applied for analyses of functional sulfur groups. LÄS MER
4. Dynamics and Reactivity of Cu-species in Cu-CHA for NH3-SCR
Sammanfattning : Copper exchanged chabazite (Cu-CHA) is a state-of-the-art catalyst for deNOx via ammonia assisted selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR) in lean burn engines, owing to its good low-temperature activity, and high hydrothermal stability. One challenge for Cu-CHA is, however, the sensitivity to sulfur species, which are present in the exhaust gas. LÄS MER
5. Aging effects on commercial lean NOx trap catalysts
Sammanfattning : As a countermeasure to global warming, vehicles with low carbon emissions are being investigated by promoting lean-burn engines and high combustion efficiencies. However, one limitation to the increasing use of these engines is the need to develop corresponding catalytic systems for controlling the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in their lean exhaust. LÄS MER
