Course content
|
Biorefinery - definition, historical development (sugar production, starch hydrolysis, wood saccharification). Production of fural, cellulose, levulinic acid, fats, vanillin from lignin, lactic acid. Production of ethanol from wood, chemical processing of wood, Berg's method of production of synthetic gasoline. Orientation to the use of wood, straw, waste phytomass grasslands, grain. Modern aspects of thermochemical conversion of biomass. Use of raw biomass for the production of food, fuels, pharmaceuticals and bio-based raw materials for the production of: biomaterials (oils and fats, dyes and pigments, paints, detergents and solvents, industrial adhesives, biopolymers and films, composites), fuels and energy (solid lignin, biochar, combustible waste, liquid methanol, ethanol, butanol and fuel oils, methane gas, hydrogen and water-gas or SYNGAS, i.e. mixtures of CO + H2) and biochemicals (activated carbon, phenols, acetic acid, oxidizing additives, industrial surfactants, agrochemicals and speciality chemicals. Biomass utilization and processing plans in the USA and Germany. Comparison of diesel and biomass processing technologies. Schemes and diagrams of production possibilities in a biorefinery for biomass processing. Promising raw materials: wood and wood waste (cellulose lignin waste), grass matter and green plants (lignocellulosic waste), municipal solid waste (waste paper, biodegradable part of municipal waste).

Learning outcomes
|
The course aims to acquaint students with the principles of comprehensive utilization of biomass - a technology called "green refinery". Explain the principles and ways of non-waste use of plant biomass on the examples of foreign and Czech patent literature and their technology, comprehensive treatment of meadow clover, oats and medicinal plant Echinacea purpurea.
The graduate will master the principles of comprehensive use of biomass - the technology of so-called "green biorefineries".
