Wastewater heat recovery upstream of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) poses a risk to treatment performance, i.e. the biological processes. In order to perform a sustainability analysis, a detailed prediction of the temperature dynamics over the WWTP is needed. A comprehensive set of heat balance equations was included in a plant-wide process model and validated for the WWTP in Linköping, Sweden
Based on the Synchrotron Radiation (SR) beamline optical element-by-element alignment with analysis of the alignment results an optimized beamline alignment algorithm has been designed and developed. The alignment procedures have been designed and developed for the MAX-lab 1911-4 fixed energy beamline. It has been shown that the intermediate information received during the monochromator alignment
Bio-based rigid diols are key building blocks in the development and preparation of high performance bioplastics with improved thermal and dimensional stability. Here, we report on the straightforward two-step synthesis of a diol with a spirocyclic acetal structure, starting from bio-based vanillin and pentaerythritol. According to a preliminary life cycle assessment (LCA), the greenhouse gas emis
A high order Cartesian grid method is developed and applied to large eddy simulations (LES) of isothermal and reactive turbulent flows. Cartesian grid methods are potentially the most suitable numerical methods for LES because of its economical storage requirement, less computational effort per computational cell, fast numerical convergence and feasibility for constructing higher order finite diff
Pyridinium triflate protic ionic liquids have been demonstrated to be highly dissociated, and nonstoichiometric compositions have been used in protic energy devices such as the all-organic proton battery. Herein, we use a combination of pulsed field gradient NMR spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to investigate the charge transport properties of the nonstoichiometric protic io
Swedish biomass production potential could be increased significantly if new production methods, such as optimised fertilisation, were to be used. Optimised fertilisation on 25% of Swedish forest land and the use of stem wood could almost double the biomass potential from forestry compared with no fertilisation, as both logging residues and large quantities of excess stem wood not needed for indus
The human brain performs tasks with an outstanding energy efficiency, i.e., with approximately 20 Watts. The state-of-the-art Artificial/Deep Neural Networks (ANN/DNN), on the other hand, have recently been shown to consume massive amounts of energy. The training of these ANNs/DNNs is done almost exclusively based on the back-propagation algorithm, which is known to be biologically implausible. Th
It is increasingly well-established that Homo sapiens’ significant influence and success as a species are due to our ability to cooperate – solving collective action problems. The evolutionary selection for this ability can be explained by the cumulative effect of cultural technologies and practices being imitated within the group and between generations. To gain new insight into the human evoluti
Renewable energy expansion and carbon sink enhancement are central to developing sustainable climate pathways, yet the rapid deployment of renewable energy technologies is intensifying land-use competition and increasing the need for more resource-efficient siting strategies. Solar development on former peat extraction sites represents one such approach, as it enables the use of degraded land whil
20th December 2017 1 1 2 1 Strategic innovation is at the heart of prompting and enabling systems transformations. By strategic innovation we refer to a portfolio of deliberate innovation experiments that intervene within and across whole systems – designed to generate alternative business and industrial models and create options for choice and momentum. Such a portfolio needs to nurture supply-si
