  4. 2. Lactic acid production: extractive fermentation in aqueous two-phase systems

    Author : Jordi Planes; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; gel excludion chromatography; polyethylenimine; ethylene oxide propylene oxide; phase forming polymers; aqueous two-phase systems; extractive fermentation; Lactococcus; Lactobacillus; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Microbiology;

    Abstract : There is an increased interest in the microbial production of lactic acid as a raw material for the synthesis of lactic acid polymers as biodegradable plastics. However, two factors limit the economical competitiveness of lactic acid production by microorganisms: lactic acid inhibition, which decreases both fermentation rate and the maximum lactic acid concentration, and the efficiency in the recovery of lactic acid.

  7. 5. Impact of drying and heat treatment on physical properties and durability of solid wood

    Author : Margot Sehlstedt-Persson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wood Physics; Träfysik;

    Abstract : During drying and heat treatment, wood is exposed to a hygrothermal process during which wood properties are chemically and physically affected, resulting in responses on a microscopic as well as on a macroscopic level. The main objective of this thesis is to build knowledge on the interaction between the wood material properties and the drying and heat treatment process in terms of material responses. READ MORE
