Integration of Bio-Conversion and Separation Technology for the production and application of platform chemicals from 2nd generation biomass (BIOCONSEPT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

BioConSepT aims to demonstrate the technically feasibility of White Biotech processes for the conversion of 2nd generation biomass into platform chemicals, which are 30% cheaper and 30% more sustainable than existing chemical routes or 1st generation processes. BioConSepT uses lignocellulose and non-edible oils & fats as cheap, abundantly available feedstocks, which cannot be used as food. The ma ...

Development of an integrated biorefinery for processing chitin rich biowaste to specialty and fine chemicals (CHIBIO)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

The fishing industry in the EU and elsewhere produces an increasing mass of negative value crustacean shell waste (>6 MTPA), whose current disposal in landfills results in significant costs and risks to human health as well as to the environment. While in Asia small amounts of shrimp waste are processed to chitosan, the high CaCO3 content of EU crab shell waste has prevented cost effective convers ...

Modern polymer-based catalysts and microflow conditions as key elements of innovations in fine chemical syntheses (POLYCAT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

POLYCAT provides an integrated, coherent and holistic approach utilizing novel polymer based nanoparticulate catalysts in pharmaceutical, crop protection and vitamin syntheses in conjunction with the enabling functions of micro process technology and “green” solvents such as water or ethyl lactate. This provides a discipline bridging approach between fine chemistry, catalysis and engineering. This ...
