1. Systems Aspects of Increased Swedish Waste Incineration
Sammanfattning : Abstract Recent bans on landfilling of combustible and organic waste in Sweden have resulted in an increase in alternative waste treatment, especially waste incineration with energy recovery. This thesis elucidates how the current increase in Swedish waste incineration affects and is affected by the two systems to which it belongs: the waste management and the energy systems. LÄS MER
2. Microbial communities in biological electrochemical systems
Sammanfattning : Biological electrochemical systems (BES) can be used as biosensors and for recovery of resources from waste streams. BES utilizes microbial communities that grow on the surface of electrodes in the form of biofilms. LÄS MER
3. A Systems Engineering Approach to National Waste Management
Sammanfattning : During recent decades, waste management has gradually shifted focus, from waste disposal to integrated waste management of potentially valuable resources and residues. The number and variety of waste streams to handle is large, as well as the diversity of treatment options available. LÄS MER
4. Microalgae : future bioresource of the sea?
Sammanfattning : Unicellular microalgae are a renewable bioresource that can meet the challenge forfood and energy in a growing world population. Using sunlight, CO2, nutrients,and water, algal cells produce biomass in the form of sugars, proteins and oils, allof which carry commercial value as food, feed and bioenergy. LÄS MER
5. Household food waste management – Evaluations of current status and potential improvements using life-cycle assessment methodology
Sammanfattning : An increased understanding of the world’s limited resources and the negative environmental impacts connected to solid waste management has in recent years increased interest in separate collection and treatment of organic waste in many parts of the world. As an example, increased biological treatment of organic waste is an explicit goal within the Swedish national solid waste management strategy (SEPA, 2006) and the national environmental objectives state that 35% of all organic household waste should be treated biologically by 2010 (SEPA, 2007).
