Loengukursuse eesmärk on anda ülevaade rohelise keemia tehnoloogiate kohta, mida kasutatakse rafineerimistehastes biomassist biotoodete saamiseks. Õppeaine käsitleb erinevaid tehnoloogiaid erineva koostisega tooraine ja biojäätmete töötlemiseks biomaterjalide, -kemikaalide ja -kütuste saamisel, vaadeldes nende eeliseid ja kitsaskohti, kaasaarvatud kuluefektiivsus.

The course will provide an overview to the students on green chemistry strategies for biomass to bioproducts developments as biorefinery applications. We aim to provide highlights on all relevant biorefinery based production technologies for the bioprocessing of feedstocks and biowaste into valuable products such as biomaterials, bio-chemicals and biofuels, describing the merits and shortcomings of each, including cost-efficiency.

Peale kursuse läbimist saavad õpilased aru erinevatest biokonversiooni protsessidest ja tehnoloogiatest, mida kasutatakse biotootmises, nende hulgas toorainete ja biojäätmete keemilise koostise analüüs; saavad selgeks olulisemad biokeemilised näitajad/terminid, mida rafineerimistehaste protsessides kasutatakse.

At the end of the course students will be able to understand the process of various bioconversion technologies for biomass to bioprduct development including chemical analytics studies of a range of feedstocks and bio wastes. The student will also learn about the biochemical characteristics involved in biorefinery applications.

Loengutes antakse ülevaade biotehnoloogilistest protsessidest, mis loob eelduse bioreaktorite disainimiseks ja nende töö analüüsimiseks. Rühmatööna lahendatakse tõsielus ettetulevaid probleeme ja selle käigus paranevad ka meeskonnatööks vajalikud oskused. Lisaks baasteadmistele leiavad käsitlemist ka viimased rafineerimistehastes kasutusele võetud keskkonda säästvad uuendused, mis tuginevad rohelise keemia põhimõtetele. Sealhulgas kaetakse ensüümide arendamine nn „rakuvabrikutes“ (cell factory), heterogeensete katalüütiliste reaktorite süsteemid, biomassi ensümaatiline, keemiline ja termiline töötlemine, kineetika, operatsioonide ja protsesside innovatiivne disain
Praktilised tööd
1. Erinevate biomasside eeltöötlemine
2. Bioreaktori disain/tööle panemine
3. Biomassi keemiline ja ensümaatiline töötlemine, biokonversioon

Lessons will take place through lectures aimed to provide the basis for the analysis and design of bioreactors and more in general of biotechnological processes and through group exercises focused on developing the ability to work in teams and deal with the resolution of real problems. The course will provide the fundamental basis and recent developments on biomass to bioproducts biorefineries based on green chemical strategies. Course content includes topics on- enzyme development from microbial cell factories; heterogeneous catalytic reactors system; enzymatic bioconversion of biomass; kinetics, operations and innovative process design; and thermal, chemical, biochemical recycling technologies for processing of biomass, process mapping for renewables to bio-chemicals and biopolymers
