Functionalisation of spruce O-acetyl-galactoglucomannans for barrier and composite applications
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-10-23)
The increasing use of energy, food, and materials by the growing population in the world is leading to the situation where alternative solutions from renewable carbon resources are sought after. The growing use of plastics ...
Functional cellulose microspheres for pharmaceutical applications
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-02-13)
Dissolving cellulose is the first main step in preparing novel cellulosicmaterials. Since cellulosic fibres cannot be easily dissolved in water-based solvents, fibres were pretreated with ethanol-acid solution prior to the ...
Intensification of hemicellulose hot-water extraction from spruce wood by parameter tuning
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-05-22)
The growing population on earth along with diminishing fossil deposits and the climate change debate calls out for a better utilization of renewable, bio-based materials. In a biorefinery perspective, the renewable biomass ...
Pressurized hot water flow-through extraction of birch wood
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-03-13)
Effective processes to fractionate the main compounds in biomass, such as wood, are a prerequisite for an effective biorefinery. Water is environmentally friendly and widely used in industry, which makes it a potential ...
Silicon-containing species in used lube oil re-refining
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-03-23)
Nowadays, the re-refining of the used lube oils has gained worldwide a lot of attention due to the necessity for added environmental protection and increasingly stringent environmental legislation. One of the parameters ...
Transformation of carbon dioxide to diethyl carbonate over ceria and ceria-supported catalysts
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-05-08)
Carbon dioxide is regarded, nowadays, as a primary anthropogenic greenhouse gas leading to global warming. Hence, chemical fixation of CO2 has attracted much attention as a possible way to manufacture useful chemicals. One ...
The role of metal ions in selective and sustainable processes
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-10-14)
Sustainability and recycling are core values in today’s industrial operations. New materials, products and processes need to be designed in such a way as to consume fewer of the diminishing resources we have available ...
New aspects in limestone dissolution for wet flue gas desulfurization
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-12-05)
Fortsättningsvis tillgodoses största delen av världens energibehov genom förbränning av fossila bränslen, dessutom forsätter världens totala energibehov att öka. Eftersom förbränning av fossila bränslen som t.ex. olja och ...
Production of magnesium carbonates from serpentinites for CO2 mineral sequestration : optimisation towards industrial application
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-12-17)
Global warming is one of the most alarming problems of this century. Initial scepticism concerning its validity is currently dwarfed by the intensification of extreme weather events whilst the gradual arising level of ...
