1. Mechanisms of Biopolymer Solvation: Development of a two-component ionic liquid solvent system
Sammanfattning : Ionic liquids are of potential interest in the processing of lignocellulosic biomass, and/or its components, for the purpose of producing renewable and value-added biomaterials. An understanding of how solvation can be achieved and the way in which the feedstock biopolymers are affected, however, needs to be gained prior to a viable implementation. LÄS MER
2. 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
3. Facilitating electron transfer in bioelectrocatalytic systems
Sammanfattning : Bioelectrocatalytic systems are based on biological entities, such as enzymes, whole cells, parts of cells or tissues, which catalyse electrochemical processes that involve the interaction between chemical change and electrical energy. In all cases, biocatalysis is implemented by enzymes, isolated or residing inside cells or part of cells. LÄS MER
4. Complete methane oxidation over alumina and zeolite supported palladium for emission control
Sammanfattning : The use of methane-based fuels, such as natural gas and biogas, gives lower emissions of for instance carbon dioxide (CO2) and particulate matters compared to traditionally used liquid fossil fuels. However, the exhaust gases contain significant levels of unburnt methane (CH4) residuals, which are desirable to minimize since CH4 has a high global warming potential. LÄS MER
5. Microkinetic Modeling of Nanoparticle Catalysis using Density Functional Theory
Sammanfattning : Heterogeneous catalysis is vitally important to modern society, and one path towardsrational catalyst design is through atomistic scale understanding. The atomistic scalecan be linked to macroscopic observables by microkinetic models based on first-principlescalculations. LÄS MER
