Course Details
• Biomass Composition and Characterization: Understanding the chemical and physical properties of biomass feedstocks, including lignocellulosic biomass, algal biomass, and organic waste. This unit will cover topics such as biomass fractionation, composition analysis, and biomass recalcitrance.
• Biomass Pretreatment Technologies: Exploring the various pretreatment methods used to overcome biomass recalcitrance, increase biomass digestibility, and enhance the conversion efficiency of biomass to biofuels. Topics will include physical, chemical, and biological pretreatment technologies.
• Biofuels Production Technologies: Investigating the different conversion pathways for biomass-to-biofuels, including biochemical conversion (e.g., anaerobic digestion, fermentation), thermochemical conversion (e.g., pyrolysis, gasification), and chemical catalysis.
• Biomass to Bioethanol Conversion: Delving into the specific conversion of biomass to bioethanol, including feedstock selection, pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, and distillation.
• Biomass to Biodiesel Conversion: Examining the conversion of biomass to biodiesel, including feedstock selection, pretreatment, transesterification, and purification.
• Biomass to Biogas Conversion: Investigating the conversion of biomass to biogas, including anaerobic digestion, biogas upgrading, and utilization of biogas for power generation.
• Biomass to Bio-oil Conversion: Exploring the conversion of biomass to bio-oil, including pyrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction, and catalytic upgrad
