Summary
"Recovering organic matter" is a 16-hour programme of practical work focused on recovering resources from biomass (sugars and starch) and domestic and industrial waste (plastics). The aim is to show how the use of these resources is part of more global problems associated with the preparation of platform molecules, the design of biomaterials and energy.
Educational goals
At the end of the practical work, students should: 1/ Grasp the experimental issues regarding the recovery of different types of organic matter 2/ Understand and build an experimental approach 3/ Master the analytical techniques seen in the laboratory and use them wisely 4/ Develop their critical thinking skills to address experimental errors and uncertainties
Sustainable development goals

Comments:
Online resources
- Practical work handbooks (printouts given to students and available on Moodle) - Links to additional resources
Pedagogy
- Practical work in groups of two to three students. - Preparatory bibliographic work must be completed for the practical work sessions. - The sessions are followed by the submission of a complete report including the interpretation of experimental results.

Prerequisites
