Life cycle assessment of algal biofuels

Creator:

Kirby, Bryan L.

Abstract:

This thesis consists of three studies to better understand the environmental sustainability potential for algal-based biofuels. Initially, a comparison of recent life cycle assessments (LCA) of theoretical full-scale algal biofuel facilities was developed. These studies include varying boundaries and scope, functional units, and technology maturity assumptions. The comparison converted results...

The Influence of Engineered Surface Coatings on Nanoparticle Aggregation and Corona Formation: Examinations in Simulated and Real Aquatic Media

Creator:

Surette, Mark C.

Abstract:

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are small anthropogenic colloids with at least one length dimension <100 nanometers. Due to the nature of their use, ENMs are being increasingly released to the environment. Yet the environmental risks posed by ENMs are unknown due to a variety challenges, including limitations with detecting and quantifying...
