Bio-based Products

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Bio-based Products
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1. Describe and discriminate important biomass feeds, biomass conversion technologies and biobased products. 2. Relate product properties with biomass sources and conversion technology. 3. Evaluate the basic implications of the use biomass sources and conversion technologies. 4. Compose a well-structured scientific literature report investigating a selected biobased product topic according to a pre-described format and present the findings to a student audience.
Omschrijving	This course provides and introduction to the biobased economy treating the following subjects: 1. Biobased economy introduction 2. Biomass composition and sources 3. Biofuels (first and higher generations) 4. Biobased Specification Chemicals 5. Thermal biomass conversion 6. Integration: the biorefinery concept 7. Ethics and societal impact of the use of biobased products Selected related topics based on availability of guest lectures Students will perform literature researches on assigned optics (individually and as a group) and present these in a written report and via an oral presentation. The individual assignments will be discussed during lectures and group assignments topics will be discussed with a supervisor in progress meetings leading up to the final report and presentation.
