Summary
With respect to the problem of the finiteness of fossil resources, many products based on renewable resources have been developed in recent years. Biorefineries play a key role in this context because they transform complex raw materials (plants, waste) into high value-added biofuels and molecules. This course aims to provide a general understanding of the context, the similarities between a conventional refinery and a biorefinery, the pre-treatment and transformation processes of the raw material and the purification processes. An approach based on the simulation of the whole process will also be proposed. Basics in thermodynamics and kinetics will be acquired throughout this course.
Educational goals
At the end of the course, the student will be able to: - Identify the operations carried out in a refinery (distillation, hydrotreatments, conversions, etc.) and a biorefinery (mechanical and chemical pre-treatments, conversion, etc.) - know the main lines of industrial chemistry (organic, inorganic, specialty...) - To know the unit operations present in a chemical or biotechnological process - Establish a material and heat balance in a reactor - Sizing and adapting a reactor to a specific process - know the different types of reactors and their implementation used in the industry - know how to equate a simple kinetics - Integrate a kinetic law into an ideal reactor balance sheet and calculate its performance - Propose and validate a phase equilibrium model for a binary mixture - Predict the behaviour of a binary mixture according to known operating conditions - Model a thermodynamic separation (distillation) - Writing a scientific report and bibliographic research Contribution of the course to the competency framework; at the end of the course, the student will have progressed in: - Ability to analyze the context (economic, societal) - Ability to use concepts or principles in event descriptions - Ability to identify interactions between elements - Ability to develop working methods, to organize
