Process intensification refers to technologies and strategies that enable simpler and more efficient processes compared to conventional processes. Some features of such intensified processes are less recycle streams, reduced need for waste handling and lower investment and operating costs compared to conventional processes. One way of doing this is by making two or more process steps simultaneo...

Usability can be defined as a measure of the ease with which a system can be learned or used, its safety, effectiveness and efficiency, and the attitudes of its users towards it. While usability has gained popularity in IT and has seen some applications in product development, where it brings strong advantages, industry by far does not exploit the full potential of usability. In the process ind...

The study was inspired by the need to assess long-term metal retention in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The long-term processes in landfills are poorly known due to the relatively short time that such landfills have been in existence. Natural analogues where similar metal binding processes could be expected were therefore sought for. The work described in this thesis aims to elucidate ...
