2. 1. Waste Textiles Bioprocessing to Ethanol and Biogas

   Author : Azam Jeihanipour; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bioethanol; biogas; biorefinery; cellulose recalcitrance; cotton-based cellulose; enzymatic hydrolysis; pretreatment; recycling; waste textile; Resursåtervinning; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

   Abstract : The work of the present thesis focused on conversion of the cellulosic part of waste textiles into biogas and ethanol, and its challenges. In 2009, the global annual fiber consumption exceeded 70 Mt, of which around 40% consisted of cellulosic material. READ MORE

4. 2. Bioethanol Production: Pretreatment and Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Softwood

   Author : Charlotte Tengborg; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; recirculation of process streams; detoxification; inhibition; hydrolysis conditions; enzymatic hydrolysis; Ethanol production; steam pretreatment; softwood; Carbochemistry; petrochemistry; fuels and explosives technology; Petrokemi; bränslen; sprängämnen;

   Abstract : The enzymatic hydrolysis process can be used to produce bioethanol from softwood, which are the dominating raw material in the Northern hemisphere. This thesis deals with the development of the process focusing on the pretreatment and the enzymatic hydrolysis stages. READ MORE

5. 3. Chemo-Enzymatic Epoxidation of Unsaturated Fatty Acids

   Author : Cecilia Orellana Coca Åkerman; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bioteknik; Biotechnology; solvent-free process.; Candida antarctica lipase B esterification; chemo-enzymatic epoxidation; Unsaturated fatty acids; epoxides;

   Abstract : Epoxy fatty acids are useful molecules and find a number of applications e.g. as PVC plasticisers and stabilisers, additives in polyurethane production, reactive diluents in paints, corrosion protection agents, etc. READ MORE

6. 4. Towards sustainable plastics : Microbial production of aromatic and aliphatic building blocks from biobased feedstock and plastic hydrolysate

   Author : Oliver Englund Örn; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cell factories; Biobased plastics; Protocatechuic acid; Adipic acid; 4-Hydroxybyratate; 1; 4-Butanediol; PBAT; Enzymatic recycling; Synthetic promoter library;

   Abstract : The current plastic system is unsustainable and needs to change. Plastics are mainly produced from fossil feedstock, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, and low rate of post-consumer recycling results in pollution on land and in oceans with high ecological impact, and huge loss of valuable material.

7. 5. Microbial and enzymatic syntheses of polymer building blocks through selective transformations of polyols and furans

   Author : Mahmoud Sayed Ali Sayed; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : Mycobacterium sp. MS1601; G. oxydans; oxidase; lipase; trimethylolpropane TMP ; 2; 2- bis hydroxymethyl butyric acid BHMB ; 5-hydroxymethyl furfural 5-HMF ; 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furan carboxylic acid HMFCA ; 2; 5-furandicarboxylic acid FDCA ; cyclic carbonate ; estrification; Biotransformation; polymer building blocks; product recovery; selective oxidation; bioprocess engneering; cell recycling; cell bleeding; DNA recombinant technology; in-silico analysis;

   Abstract : AbstractTransition from fossil- to bio-based economy is a critical step towards reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, and hence for achievement of sustainable communities and environment. In order to be fossil-free, the chemical and material industry is in need of carbon-neutral building blocks from renewable resources for the diverse array of products that are currently produced from olefins and aromatics.
