1. Biodegradation of hydrocarbons in soil and water
Sammanfattning : Biodegradation of aliphatic and polycyclic aromatichydrocarbons was studied in soil and liquid cultures attemperatures ranging from -5 º C to 20 º C undervarious aerobic or anaerobic, nitrate reducing, conditions. Twocontaminated soils were used in the studies. LÄS MER
2. Phytoremediation of soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons and trace elements
Sammanfattning : The rapid urbanization and industrialization has led to an increase of disposal petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC) and trace elements (TE) into the environment. These pollutants are considered as the most toxic contaminants in the world due to their persistence in the environment, and the long range of toxicological effects for living beings. LÄS MER
3. Experimental investigation of hydrocarbon formation and transformation under Earth´s upper mantle conditions
Sammanfattning : The theory of the abyssal abiotic petroleum origin considers oil and natural gas to begenerated in the Earth’s upper mantle. Hydrocarbons migrate further through the deep faults into the Earth’s crust, where they can form oil and gas deposits in any kind of rock in any kind of structural position. LÄS MER
4. Applications of Solid-Phase Microextraction to Chemical Characterization of Materials Used in Road Construction
Sammanfattning : Environmental and health aspects of road materials have been discussed for a long time, mostly regarding bitumen and bitumen fumes. However, just a few studies on other types of road materials have been reported. LÄS MER
5. Energy savings for petroleum processing : Using mathematical models, optimal control and diagnostics
Sammanfattning : Petroleum products are widely used as an energy supply, and the total production capacity of petroleum refineries is quite high. In this thesis, an energy intensive refinery process, hydroprocessing, is selected and evaluated in terms of its energy loss contributors. Digital solutions are discussed and demonstrated to reduce losses. LÄS MER
