Abstract:
Finnish industries produce large volumes of wastewater containing only ppm amounts of heavy metals. Mining and metal industries produce a lot heavy metal containing wastewater, while forestry and agriculture produce wastewaters containing nitrogenous compounds. Removal of impurities in ppm quantities is either expensive or ineffective with conventional methods. This has led to search for novel technologies. Removal of these low quantity impurities might be more cost-effective via biosorption. Aim of this research was to study domestically produced residual microbe biomasses as biosorbents for

Abstract:
Cyclodextrins, being microbially produced compounds, were investigated for their potential to increase the removal of low-polarity organic compounds in subsurface remediation. It is found that the apparent solubilities of many hydrophobic organic compounds are significantly increased in hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD) solutions. The relative solubilities (S(t)/S ₒ) of compounds increase linearly with increasing HPCD concentrations. The solubilization power of HPCD is found to be much greater than that of miscible cosolvents and to be less than that of synthetic surfactants. The lower solub

The major topics discussed are the phosphorescence sensitization in the lanthanides via energy transfer and in the organics by heavy atom effects. The f-f transitions in lanthanides are parity forbidden and have weak molar extinction coefficients. Upon complexation with the ligand, ttrpy (4'-p-Tolyl-[2,2':6',2"]-terpyridine) the absorption takes place through the ligand and the excitation is transferred to the lanthanides, which in turn emit. This process is known as "sensitized luminescence." Bright red emission from europium and bright green emission from terbium complexes were observed. The

Abstract:
<p>Heavy metals are well-known environmental pollutants. In this thesis predictive models for heavy metals in urban lakes are discussed and new models presented. The base of predictive modelling is empirical data from field investigations of many ecosystems covering a wide range of ecosystem characteristics. Predictive models focus on the variabilities among lakes and processes controlling the major metal fluxes. </p><p>Sediment and water data for this study were collected from ten small lakes in the Stockholm area, the Eastern parts of Lake Mälaren, the innermost areas of the Stockholm archip

Abstract:
The detection of anthropogenic impacts in our estuaries has become a critical social, political and scientific concern in recent years. Work has focussed on the effects of these impacts on the spatial and temporal patterns of biotic assemblages and searched for bioindicators and biomarkers of pollutants that may act as early warning signs. The estuaries in temperate Southeastern Australia have a diversity of biotic assemblages living in the soft sediment. One of the most abundant macroinvertebrates is the little studies mussel, Xenostrobus securi that is found living with an assemblage of bent
