• An Experimental and Theoretical Study of Dense Fluidized Bed Fluid Dynamics 

      Rautenbach, Christo (Doctoral dissertations at TUC;2012:3, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-31)
      The papers presented in the present study aim to elucidate the complex fluid dynamic phenomena in a cold dense phase fluidized bed reactor. Theoretical and experimental studies were conducted with this aim and several ...
    • Degradation of Aqueous 2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol for Carbon Dioxide Capture 

      Wang, Tielin (Doctoral dissertations at TUC;2013:1, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2013-01-29)
      Absorption-stripping with aqueous 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), and especially AMP blends with other amines, such as monoethanolamine (MEA) and piperazine (PZ), presents an attractive option for carbon dioxide (CO2) ...
    • Degradation of polymeric and particulate organic carbon in biofilms 

      Kommedal, Roald (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2003:101, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2003)
      Polymeric and particulate organic carbon (POM) are fundamental compounds in the global cycling of carbon, and constitute significant amounts of BOD in municipal wastewater. The main objective of this work is to study ...
    • Identification of signals describing pairwise interaction in plankton, bacteria and bacteriophage : a study of model, microcosm and lake 

      Sandvik, Gunnar (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2003:54, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2003)
      This study concerns interaction between organisms. Such interactions are often studied through organism abundances over periods of time (time-series). Time-series reflect both internal (biological) and external (environmental) ...
    • Mass transfer characteristics of CO2 absorption into liquid droplets 

      Han, Jingyi (Doctoral dissertations at TUC;2014:1, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2014-01-21)
      CO2 capture from exhaust gases has been paid more and more attention in order to avoid global warming. One of the methods for removing CO2 from the flue gas streams is the use of absorption and aqueous alkanolamine solutions ...
    • Mass Transfer Kinetics of Carbon Dioxide into Concentrated Aqueous Solutions of Monoethanolamine 

      Ying, Jiru (Doctoral dissertations at TUC;2013:2, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2013-02-15)
      Global warming arguments have gained more and more attention due to the new regulations of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in the world. Monoethanolamine (MEA) has been employed as an important industrial absorbent for CO2 ...
    • Removal of CO2 from exhaust gas 

      Øi, Lars Erik (Doctoral dissertations at TUC;2012:2, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-30)
      Removal of CO2 from exhaust gas (CO2 capture) has become a very important topic the last years. There is international agreement to limit the emissions of greenhouse gases to reduce the global warming problem, and CO2 is ...
    • The impact of staged combustion on the operation of a precalciner cement kiln 

      Tokheim, Lars-André (Doctoral theses at NTNU;1999:89, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 1999)
      In this thesis, the impact of staged combustion on the operation of a precalciner cement kiln, is considered. Mathematical modelling and full-scale experiments at the Norcem cement works in Brevik, Norway, is the basis for ...
