  1. 1. Production of natural pigments from A. platensis grown on wastewater from local treatment facility.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Hana Faulds; [2023]
    Keywords : Cyanobacteria; pigments; microalgae; wastewater treatment; biotechnology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Although microalgae have been considered for the biological treatment of wastewater since the 1950’s, their potential to efficiently remove pollutants from various streams remains largely untapped and is yet to be utilized at large scale. The production of algal biomass and extraction of high-value compounds has, however, become increasingly popular with large scale farms and biorefineries around the world producing many promising alternatives to petroleum-based products and processes.

  3. 2. Assessment of the energetic feasibility of a novel CHP biorefinery concept

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Ângelo Miguel Mendes Ferreira; [2023]
    Keywords : biorefinery; bioenergy; biomimicry; combined heat and power; Earth Power Lodge; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study investigates the potential for energetic self-reliance in an integrated biore- finery, the Earth Power Lodge (EPL), which aims to convert waste into valuable by- products through bio- and thermochemical conversion processes. The primary questions addressed include assessing the necessity of external propane to sustain the pyrolysis process and the net energy output of the ThermoChemical Reactor (TCR) process when fractional distillation is applied to the resulting bio-oils.

  4. 3. Lignin Biorefining: Swelling and activation of fibers for lignin extraction

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Ali Al Husseinat; [2023]
    Keywords : Biorefining; Carboxymethylation; Extraction; Lignin; Swelling; Bioraffinering; Extraktion; Karboxymetylering; Lignin; Svällning;

    Abstract : I världens omvandling mot en bioekonomi kommer lignocellulosa material spela en stor roll i ersättningen av fossila resurser. Lignin är den mest tillgängliga källan av förnybara och naturligt förekommande aromatiska ämne och den utgör 15–30% av ved. READ MORE

  5. 4. Protein digestibility of biorefined juice from fresh and ensiled ley crops in growing pigs

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Jhon William Perez Davila; [2023]
    Keywords : protein digestibility; amino acids; ley crops; silage; biorefinery; press juice; growing pigs;

    Abstract : The study aimed to evaluate the protein and amino acid digestibility of press juice from biorefined ley crops in the form of fresh (FPJ) and silage (SPJ) when included as an ingredient in liquid diets for pigs. The juice was extruded from ley crops mixture (grass-clover). READ MORE

  6. 5. Lignin in Cosmetics: State of the Art : Discerning the value of lignin in the cosmetic industry

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Industriell teknik; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Nellie Henriksson; Klas Nordell; [2023]
    Keywords : Lignin; Cosmetics; Personal care; Innovation; Cosmetic industry; Functional materials. Biotechnology; functional materials; green chemistry; Lignin; kosmetik; kosmetikaindustrin; Bioteknik; Nanomaterial; SPF; UV;

    Abstract : This study was carried out at the Department of Nanotechnology and Functional Materials,Uppsala University, one of several places where the interest of lignin in cosmetics is constantly growing. The functionalities of lignin have been studied to a great extent revealing its potential as a natural biopolymer to serve as a replacement for environmentally hazardous components in cosmetic formulations, namely UV-filters in sunscreens.
