Tiivistelmä
Peat is a type of renewable resource that has usually been ignored. Nowadays, people mainly apply peat as the heating energy resource instead of other purposes. This thesis elaborates many studies such as peat used in chemistry, which were utilized by researchers, and the product has been made according to special characteristics of peat.
The aim of thesis is to give a summary of the achievement of research, which had been studied of peat that applied in chemistry. Eight studies of peat- related chemistry will be discussed and they main focus of peat studies in Finland, which Kalevi Pihlaja took part in. They include the chemical mapping of peat, the peat lipids on the growth rate of E. COLI K12, the biologically active substances in peat, the effects of peat on onion root growth, the inorganic constituents in Finnish peatland, the extractable and waxy materials of peat, alkane and alkenes from reclaimed peat, and the sterol contents in the bog.
