  2. 1. Catalyst Design for the Valorisation of Biomass-derived Furans into Aromatics

    Author : Guido J.L. de Reijer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aromatics; 2; 5-dimethylfuran; gallium; biomass; furans; production of aromatics; zeolites; biomass conversion; catalysis;

    Abstract : Anno 2023, mankind must strive towards a more sustainable chemical industry; one that does not solely rely on fossil fuels but also utilises renewable feedstocks such as biomass. Biomass can be catalytically converted into commodity chemicals such as aromatics, through intermediates like furans. READ MORE

  4. 2. Photochemical reactions of lignin: Opportunities for valorisation

    Author : Alexander Michael Riddell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biomass; NMR; Lignin; Photolysis; Photochemistry; Kraft;

    Abstract : Lignin is the second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose and is the largest bio-based source of aromatic compounds. However, its heterogeneous and recalcitrant structure makes it difficult to depolymerise for use in renewable chemicals production. READ MORE

  5. 3. Biomass residues as resources : An expanded life-cycle perspective

    Author : Johanna Olofsson; Miljö- och energisystem; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biomass residues; biofuels; life cycle assessment; climate change; circular bioeconomy;

    Abstract : Biomass residues have been identified as potentially promising resources for production of bio-based products and fuels with low climate impacts. Unlike primary biomass such as crops, using residual biomass may avoid issues such as competition over land for food and feed production. READ MORE

  6. 4. Integration of filamentous fungi in ethanol dry-mill biorefinery

    Author : Jorge Ferreira; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; airlift bioreactors; ascomycetes; biomass; bubble column; ethanol; feed; Neurospora intermedia; thin stillage; zygomycetes; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

    Abstract : The industrial production of bioethanol as a replacement to gasoline is well-established worldwide, using starch- or sugar-rich substrates. Additionally, the bioethanol plants produce animal feeds derived from fermentation leftovers. The biorefinery character of bioethanol plants can be enhanced via process diversification. READ MORE

  7. 5. Farm to furan derivatives : Fractionation of agricultural residues and transformation of sugars to chemical building blocks

    Author : Sara Jonsdottir Glaser; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biorefinery; sugar beet pulp; wheat bran; agricultural residue; biomass valorisation; fractionation; bio-based platform chemicals; HMF; levulinic acid; heterogeneous catalysis; whole-cell catalysis;

    Abstract : The transition of industrial production from petrochemistry to a more sustainable economy requires the use of carbon neutral, renewable feedstock, which does not compete with food and feed supplies – by-products of farming and agro-food industry offer this possibility. With a limited range of low-value applications today coupled with the need for maximal utilisation of resources, the by-products of farming can be repurposed as feedstock for biorefineries. READ MORE
