1. 1. Towards Energy-Efficient Drinking Water Production using Biomimicry

   Författare :Simon Isaksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Filter; Membrane Protein; Supported Lipid Bilayer; Drinking Water; Water Treatment; Silica; Aquaporin; Liposome; Biomimicry;

   Sammanfattning : Water is a prerequisite for life and we therefore need pure drinking water to survive. Yet there are more than half a billion people that do not have access to pure drinking water. Water treatment can be performed in many different ways, one of the most commonly used being filtration.

3. 2. Core Level Spectroscopy of Water and Ice

   Författare :Dennis Nordlund; Anders Nilsson; Martin Wolf; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; x-ray adsorption spectroscopy; photoemission spectroscopy; x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; platinum; x-ray emission spectroscopy; density functional theory; hydrogen-bonded; H-bond; water; ice; electronic structure; excited state dynamics; proton dynamics; water adsorption; liquid water; Physics; Fysik;

   Sammanfattning : A core level spectroscopy study of ice and water is presented in this thesis. Combining a number of experiments and spectrum calculations based on density functional theory, changes in the local valence electronic structure are shown to be sensitive to the local H-bonding configurations.

4. 3. Water-Metal Surfaces : Insights from core-level spectroscopy and density functional theory

   Författare :Theanne Schiros; Anders Nilsson; John Hemminger; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :water; hydroxyl; metal; surfaces; x-ray spectroscopy; density functional theory; bonding; fuel cell; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics;

   Sammanfattning : Computational methods are combined with synchrotron-based techniques to analyze the structure and bonding of water and water plus hydroxyl at metal surfaces under UHV and at near-ambient conditions. Water-metal interaction plays a crucial role in a multitude of cosmic, atmospheric and biological phenomena as well as heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemistry and corrosion. LÄS MER

5. 4. Antimicrobial materials from cellulose using environmentally friendly techniques

   Författare :Anna Ottenhall; Monica Ek; Josefin Illergård; Orlando Rojas; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibacterial; antifungal; cellulosic; mold; bacteria; biobased; bio-based; renewable; insulation; packaging; water treatment; water purification; paper filter; paper; membrane; Antibakteriell; fungicid; mögel; antimögel; pappersfilter; vattenrening; membran; papper; bakterier; cellulosa; förpackning; isolering; förnyelsebar; biobaserade; nya material; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Sammanfattning : The transition to a more biobased society introduces both new opportunities and new challenges as we replace nonrenewable materials with renewable alternatives. One important challenge will be to control microbial growth on materials, both to protect the materials from biological degradation and to prevent the spread of infections and toxins that can cause illness.

7. 5. Water in roads: Flow paths and pollutant spread

   Författare :Hedi Rasul; B. Olofsson; Helen Kristine French; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; De-icing salt; Road; Tracer test; ERT; Water content; Road pollutants; Flow pathways; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

   Sammanfattning : For better road construction and maintenance while minimising damage to the environment and groundwater, it is essential to monitor and model hydrological impacts on roads and consider pollution of groundwater. Water content in unbound material in road layers changes continuously and water flow usually occurs along pathways that are the main corridors for pollutant spread to groundwater. LÄS MER
