1. Lean NOx reduction by alternative fuels - with focus on catalysts for dimethyl ether
Sammanfattning : There is an increased demand for diesel engines running on non-fossil fuels such as dimethyl ether (DME), biodiesel and synthetic diesel. DME is a promising alternative fuel with potential for high energy efficiency and low CO2 emissions. However, during all high temperature combustion NOx is formed, which may require exhaust aftertreatment. LÄS MER
2. Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Kraft Lignin - The influence of capping agents and residence time
Sammanfattning : In the context of exploring alternatives to replace fossil resources, lignin has been acknowledged as a renewable source of various aromatic compounds that have the potential of being precursors to chemicals as well as fuel additives. Originating from lignocellulosic biomass such as wood, lignin is an amorphous polymer with a high content of aromatic units and, in order to harness these units, it must be depolymerised. LÄS MER
3. Parameter estimation in heterogeneous catalysis
Sammanfattning : The detailed modelling of heterogeneous catalytic systems is challenging due to the unknown nature of new catalytic materials as well as the often required transient nature of the resulting models. Thus, this thesis deals with the methodologies involved in the kinetic modelling of heterogeneous catalysis and in particular NOx reduction systems. LÄS MER
4. Mechanistic aspects on the heterogenous reduction of nitric oxide -Roles of substrate, reducing agent and oxygen

5. Chemical Doping of Conjugated Polymers for Thermoelectric Applications
Sammanfattning : The ongoing development of interconnected and wearable small devices, which together make up the so-called Internet of Things, is driving a rising need for autonomous and on-site energy supplies. Heat, an abundant and often wasted energy source, can be harnessed through thermoelectric generators that can directly convert heat into electricity. LÄS MER
