Novel developments in the Diffusive Gradient in Thin films (DGT) technique for the determination of bioavailable mercury and other trace metals in aquatic and terrestrial environments
This thesis is focused on the use of the Diffusive Gradient in thin film (DGT) technique for the analysis of bioavailable mercury and other trace metals in water and soil. Homemade DGT devices using a selective ion-exchange ...
Dietary patterns in the etiology of lymphoid neoplasms
Diet is a key modifiable risk factor for several neoplasms, but evidence for lymphoid malignancies is still inconsistent. Previous epidemiological studies were mostly focused on single dietary components (i.e. nutrients ...
Occurrence and behaviour of silver nanoparticles in the environment: analytical methodologies and laboratory studies
The production of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) has grown in last years due to their special physicochemical properties in respect to their bulk counterparts, derived from their small size (1-100 nm). Among the existing ...
Abatement of siloxanes in sewage biogas: coupling adsorption and biological treatments
The anaerobic digestion of organic matter causes the formation of biogas that can be used in energy conversion systems for the production of electricity and heat, injection into the gas grid or as a fuel. However, biogas ...
Evaluation and comparison of advanced treatment technologies to enhance the removal of pharmaceutical active compounds from wwtp secondary effluent
The presence of several pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) in water bodies has garnered increasing attention and worldwide concern. The effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are one of the main sources ...
Wind power supply chain: relevant aspects related to manufacturing and quality management
In recent years, supply chain management (SCM) has become of great importance as nowadays not only are businesses competing with each other, but so too are suppliers. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse some ...
