Skalning och modellering av en kromatografikolonn för rening av sockerlösningar. För att uppnå klimatmålen behöver fossila råvaror inom kemiindustrin bytas ut mot förnybara råvaror. Socker är en råvara med stor potential inom industrin, men är ofta förorenat med salter. Därför utforskas rening av sockerlösningar här. För att använda socker som förnybar råvara för kemiindustri behöver sockret oftaTo utilize sugars as a feedstock for renewable industries, the feedstock often needs to be very pure. This is due to ionic species contaminating the sugar feedstock being potent catalyst poisons in many cases. To remove ionic species from the sugar feedstock, it is dissolved and purified using packed ion-exchange columns. In this report, a lab-scale setup of a large scale ion-exchange setup was co

På grund av den ökade miljö- och klimatmedvetenheten har övergången till förnybara material påskyndats, och detsamma gäller intresset för träbyggande. Med att bygga högt i trä kommer dock ett flertal konstruktionsmässiga utmaningar, där en av utmaningarna är dynamik på grund av träets låga egenvikt jämfört med andra mer konventionella byggnadsmaterial. Vissa av dessa utmaningar kan avhjälpas med iDue to the increasing environmental awareness, the transition pace to renewable materials has increased, and the use of timber in construction is no exception. However, using timber in high rise building applications comes with structural challenges, e.g dynamic issues originating from timber being lightweight compared to conventional building materials. Some of the structural challenges with timb
