Course content
Knowledge of the principles of green biorefineries. Utilization of valuable biomass substances (especially phytomasses) by chemical-technological preparative (extraction, steam distillation, extrusion, acid and enzymatic hydrolysis, pyrolytic processes) methods and complete processing of wastes from these productions into pelleted solid biofuels for pellet boilers or aerobic and aerobic methods on biogas and universal organomineral fertilizers in the composting process. With regard to the bioenergetic use of unprocessable biomass in the form of direct combustion, anaerobic digestion, gasification with the production of generator gas and rapid pyrolysis with the production of pyrolysis gases to drive gas turbines.

Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the principles of comprehensive utilization of biomass - technology called "green refinery". The examples of foreign and Czech patent literature, and examples of their own technology, comprehensive treatment of meadow clover, oats and medicinbal plant Echinacea purpurea explain the principles and ways nonwaste use of plant biomass.
Acquire the principles of comprehensive use of biomass - the technology of so-called "green biorefineries".
Prerequisites
