  1. 16. Simplifying LCA use in the life cycle of residential buildings in Sweden

    Författare :Sjouke Beemsterboer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Life cycle assessment LCA ; Simplified LCA; building construction; multifamily residential building; Life Cycle Management LCM ;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis discusses the use of environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) in the building life cycle. While the life cycle of a residential building is an important source of environmental concern, knowledge about LCA remains scarce and sporadic in most construction companies. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Environmental Assessment of Battery Systems: Critical Issues for Established and Emerging Technologies

    Författare :Carl Johan Rydh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; photovoltaic cells; battery; environmental indicators; substance flow analysis; energy analysis; metal recycling; energy efficiency; materials management; rechargeable; life cycle assessment; renewable energy;

    Sammanfattning : Energy and material flows associated with portable and industrial rechargeable batteries have been quantified in a life-cycle perspective, as guidance for development of battery systems. The study included portable batteries based on nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Persistent Organic Pollutants and the Environment : A Chemometric Approach to the Study of Halogenated Aromatics

    Författare :Tomas Öberg; Bo Bergbäck; Bo Wiman; Jaakko Paasivirta; Högskolan i Kalmar; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Sammanfattning : Concern is growing about the environmental and health effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), many of which are halogenated aromatic compunds. The research reported in this thesis focuses on factors determining their behaviour and release into the environment. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Road traffic metals : sources and emissions

    Författare :David Hjortenkrans; Bo Bergbäck; Per-Arne Malmqvist; Högskolan i Kalmar; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Emission patterns; Heavy metals; Roadside soil; Sweden; Traffic; Sequential extractions; SFA; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Sammanfattning : As the environmental regulations and technical progress have forced the factories’ old “end of pipe” solutions to improve, the metal emissions from point sources have decreased. Instead, the diffuse consumption emissions from goods in use now are in focus. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Wastewater generated by the wooden floor industry : Treatability investigation applying individual and coupled technologies

    Författare :Sawanya Laohaprapanon; William Hogland; Marcia Marques; Eduardo C. Pires; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wooden floor industry; activated carbon sorption filtration; anaerobic biological treatment; chemical precipitation; electrocoagulation; ecotoxicity; Miljövetenskap; Environmental Science; Environmental technology; Miljöteknik;

    Sammanfattning : During the last half-century a growing concern has taken place in the world regarding water shortage and public health associated to water pollution. Safe discharges of industrial effluents and water reuse within the industry have been encouraged and several initiatives have promoted the development of wastewater treatment technologies with the main focus on industrial sectors that generate large volumes of wastewater.
