Summary
Due to the finite amount of fossil fuel resources, many products derived from renewable resources have been developed in recent years. Biorefineries play a key role in this context because they transform complex raw material (plants and waste) into biofuels and molecules with high added value. This course aims to provide a general understanding of the context, the similarities between a conventional refinery and a biorefinery, pre-treatment and transformation processes for raw materials, and purification processes.
Educational goals
At the end of this course, students should: 1- Be able to carry out a group project, be (partially) autonomous, set objectives and manage their time. 2- Understand the complexity associated with the use of alternative resources, including biomass, waste and bio-based chemistry as a tool used to produce many products. 3- Be able to estimate large-quantity orders for a process and make justified assumptions concerning missing data.
Sustainable development goals
Knowledge control procedures
Continuous Assessment
Comments: Multiple-choice tests and presentation of a collaborative project
