• Catalyst Development of Ethylene Oxychlorination to Ethylene Dichloride and Vinyl Chloride 

      Zhang, Wei (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:372, Doctoral thesis, 2023)
      Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is a critical component in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), one of the most extensively used plastic polymers, through the polymerization process. The global VCM industry capacity ...
    • Combined subsea hydrate control and H2S removal 

      Shoukat, Usman (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:127, Doctoral thesis, 2019)
      In Norway natural gas production mostly comes from offshore facilities and contains impurities such as acid gases (hydrogen sulfide (H2S) & carbon dioxide (CO2)), water vapor, and mercury, etc. These impurities can cause ...
    • Ethylene Oxychlorination on CuCI2 based Catalysts: Operando Kinetic Study 

      Baidoo, Martina Francisca (Doctoral thesis, 2019)
      Polyvinyl chloride, popularly known as PVC is the third most used plastic in the world. It is used for producing pipes, synthetic leather, window frames, water hoses, floors, coatings, etc. PVC is durable, long lasting and ...
    • Integrated Experimental and computational studies on plasmonic nanoparticles 

      Raghunathan, Karthik (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:150, Doctoral thesis, 2023)
      A typical diagnosis of a medical condition takes time, and the start of therapy to cure or manage the condition can take even longer. This can be changed by using nanoparticles that are personalised for biomedical applications. ...
    • Lyotropic Liquid Crystals: CO2 Capture and Phase Behavior 

      Fabià, Sandra Rodriguez (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:122, Doctoral thesis, 2019)
      The rising greenhouse gas emissions, in particular CO2, have contributed to an increase of the global temperature. In order to combat the severe effects of climate change, actions are being taken to favor a switch to low ...
    • Machine Learning and First Principles Modeling Applied to Multiphase Flow Estimation 

      Bikmukhametov, Timur (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:407, Doctoral thesis, 2020)
      Accurate knowledge of multiphase flowrates produced by each well in an oil and gas production system is important for performing production optimization, flow assurance and reservoir management. Among the alternatives, ...
    • Mn promotion effects in Co based Fischer-Tropsch production of light olefins 

      Pedersen, Eirik Østbye (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:180, Doctoral thesis, 2018)
      In this work, Mn promotion of γ-Al2O3 supported Co catalysts was investigated for the purpose of producing light olefins via the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process. CoMn/γ-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by the incipient ...
    • Modelling, Control, and Optimization of a Recirculating Aquaculture System 

      dos Santos, Allyne Machado (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:336, Doctoral thesis, 2023)
      Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are closed-loop systems that recycle most of the effluent of a fish tank after particle removal and water treatment. This type of process requires good control of the water quality, ...
    • Synthesis and Evaluation of Imidazopyridinones, Pyrrolopyrimidines and Tetrahydrocarbazoles as Antibacterial Agents 

      Olsen, Cecilie Elisabeth (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:129, Doctoral thesis, 2024)
      Mankind is in a continual arms race against bacteria, as we develop new antibiotics whilst the bacteria develop resistance against them. The need to produce novel antibiotics is now dire, as most new commercial antibiotics ...
