Abstract:

The focus of this thesis is the development of supported gold catalysts with application in selective hydrogenation directed at sustainable chemical processing. The gas phase hydrogenation of nitrobenzene (to aniline), p- and o-chloronitrobenzene (to pand o-chloroaniline), p-nitrobenzonitrile (to p-aminobenzonitrile), nitrocyclohexane (to cyclohexanone oxime) and phenylacetylene (to styrene) have been examined. Utilisation of an array of complementary characterisation techniques has facilitated an explicit correlation of catalyst performance with structure/performance that is underpinned by de

Abstract:

Modern coal preparation facilities incorporate a wide array of solid-solid and solid-liquid separation processes for rejecting mineral matter to meet market specifications. The coarse mineral matter is typically placed into engineered refuse piles whereas the fine refuse is either stored in impoundments or co-disposed with the coarse refuse. The discharge water from the refuse material represents an environmental concern due to the potential release of trace elements, and the subsequent elevation of total dissolved solids and conductivity. The research findings reported in this dissertation ad

Abstract:

The main focus of this thesis is the investigation of sustainable routes for the production of commercially important higher and functionalised aliphatic and aromatic amines through the application of (oxide and carbon) supported palladium and gold catalysts. In the hydrogenation of butyronitrile as a model aliphatic nitrile, unsupported Pd promoted the formation of primary and secondary amines. The acid-base character of the support and available surface reactive hydrogen are critical catalyst variables. The greater acidity of Pd/C (relative to Pd/Al2O3) resulted in the predominant formation

A sustainable pest control system integrates automated pest detection and recognition to evaluate the pest density using image samples taken from habitats. Novel predator/prey modelling algorithms assess control requirements for the UAV system, which is designed to deliver measured quantities of naturally beneficial predators to combat pest infestations within economically acceptable timeframes. The integrated system will reduce the damaging effect of pests in an infested habitat to an economically acceptable level without the use of chemical pesticides.

Abstract:

Aluminium recycling requires 95% less energy than primary production with no loss of quality. The Black Dross (BD) produced during secondary aluminium production contains high amounts of water-soluble compounds, therefore it is considered as a toxic waste. In the present work, salt removal from BD by thermal treatment has been investigated in laboratory scale. The optimum conditions for treatment were established, i.e., temperature, gas flow rate, holding time, rotation rate, and sample size. The overall degree of chloride removal was established to increase as a function of time and temperatu

Chalcopyrite ore forms the significant fraction of copper deposits in the earth crust. However, it is also the most difficult to treat using conventional ferric leaching methods. Smelting and electro-refining are currently the methods used in treating chalcopyrite concentrate obtained from froth flotation. Due to the ever increasing environmental requirements on smelters by the Environmental Protection Agency, new smelters are scarce in the United States. The scarcity of smelters has led to the urgent need to find a novel leaching method for the abundant chalcopyrite deposits in the USA and th

Abstract:

In this Thesis, the manipulation of poly(lactide) (PLA) macromolecular architecture, through introduction of controlled star-shaped branching, was exploited to enhance ductility, toughness, degradability and reduce viscosity -for better melt flow during manufacturing- of industrially employed PLA, which is typically a linear semicrystalline PLA. These features are instrumental to the development of flexible and highly biodegradable all-PLA-based products with improved processability, without altering the chemical nature of the material, thus making poly(lactide) materials more competitive on t

Abstract:

Heavy-duty trucks accounts for 25% CO2 emissions in Sweden and there is approximately 12.6 million heavy-duty vehicles in the EU with different types of fuel and utilization areas. EU is implementing increased legislations to reduce emissions and increase the use of biofuel and members of the EU is starting to ban the use of diesel trucks in local areas, which drives the need to find other suitable fuel. Therefore, to study and compare the emissions and energy demand in the heavy-duty truck industry a case study is created. Which focuses on production and processing, transportation, distributi

Thesis (MSc)--University of Stellenbosch, 2006.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Rural development problems faced by the impoverished communities in the Transkei, South Africa, are numerous, and environmental degradation has already taken much of its toll. By working at a micro-catchment-level both the socio-economic and biophysical appreciation of the land resources were captured as encapsulated in the concept of resource management domains. Participatory decision-making allowed functional land use goals and evaluation criteria to be incorporated into computerised multi-criteria evaluation and multi

Abstract:

This thesis addresses software design within the field of Information and Communications Technology for Development (ICTD). Specifically, it makes a case for the design and development of software which is custom-made for the context of marginalised rural areas (MRAs). One of the main aims of any ICTD project is sustainability and such sustainability is particularly difficult in MRAs because of the high costs of projects located there. Most literature on ICTD projects focuses on other factors, such as management, regulations, social and community issues when discussing this issue. Technical ma

Abstract:

La tesi di laurea contiene l'analisi della letteratura moderna del rapporto tra i sistemi produttivi e la sostenibilità. In particolare, si focalizza sullo studio bibliografico dell'evoluzione dei modelli esistenti della Sustainable Value Stream Mapping, strumento innovativo nato negli ultimi 10 anni dalla sinergia tra le filosofie più famose nate nella seconda metà del 900', la Lean Manufacturing e la Green Manufacturing, con lo scopo aumentare la sostenibilità dei processi produttivi in termini di impatto ambientale, sociale ed economico.

La gestione di un’enorme quantità di rifiuti da apparecchiature elettriche ed elettroniche (RAEE), rappresenta un problema rilevante per la nostra società, poichè rischi per l’ambiente e la salute umana, legati ad una scorretta gestione, sono combinati con la perdita di materiali valorizzabili. Questo lavoro ha per oggetto lo sviluppo di processi sostenibili per il recupero di metalli di valore dai RAEE: in particolare, è stata effettuata un’indagine in laboratorio mirata all’estrazione, da schermi a cristalli liquidi, di indio, un metallo recentemente classificato dalla Commissione Europea tr

Abstract:

Cyber-Physical System (CPS) or Digital-Twin approach are becoming popular in industry 4.0 revolution. CPS not only allow to view the online status of equipment, but also allow to predict the health of tool. Based on the real time sensor data, it aims to detect anomalies in the industrial operation and prefigure future failure, which lead it towards smart maintenance. CPS can contribute to sustainable environment as well as sustainable production, due to its real-time analysis on production. In this thesis, we analyzed the behavior of a tool of Ringvalsverk 4, at Ovako with its twin model (know
