Gasification experiments in this study were performed a 2–4 MW indirect gasifier coupled to semi-commercial CFB combustor at Chalmers University of Technology. Experiments carried out during 13 days with automotive shredder residue (ASR), giving unique opportunity investigate the bed material under realistic conditions and long residence times. The metal rich ash was accumulated bed, gaining so...

Stream ecosystems rely heavily on the input of allochthonous organic matter, such as leaves, as a primary source of nutrients. Within the macroinvertebrate community, shredders are an essential component in the process of leaf litter breakdown in streams and are largely responsible for the conversion of coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM) into fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) (Rincon...
