  1. 1. Studies using xylose fermenting yeast for lignocellulosic fermentation

    University essay from Chalmers tekniska högskola/Institutionen för kemi- och bioteknik

    Author : Varuni Raju Duraiswamy; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lignocellulosic hydrolysates such as spruce and Arundo donax were used in Separate Hydrolysis and Fermentation (SHF) process to analyse the fermentative performance of each recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain: GS1.11-26 and VTT C-10883, engineered for xylose utilization. In shake flask experiments, GS1. READ MORE

  3. 2. Simulation of propionaldehyde production from glycerol

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik

    Author : Laura Malek; [2012]
    Keywords : Propionaldehyde; Glycerol; Aspen Plus®; Economic evaluation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The rising prices of fossil fuel, combined with increasing glycerol availability, thanks to increasing biodiesel production, have made glycerol more economically interesting to use as a starting material in various processes. This article will present and evaluate a new process developed by Biofuel-solutions for production of propionaldehyde from glycerol via acrolein. READ MORE

  4. 3. Composition and Application Potentials of Scandinavian Tunicates

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknik

    Author : Masoumeh Hassanzadeh; [2011]
    Keywords : Tunicate; Ciona intestinalis; Clavelina lepadiformis; Cellulose whiskers; biofuel;

    Abstract : Marine ecosystems can be a promising reservoir of various kinds of chemical components, applicable as pharmaceutical materials, food, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and others for different industry. As an example, Tunicates, a group of marine animals, have been attracted a lot of attention in medical application, food market, water pollution issues, and Cellulose nanomaterial production due to their consisting of chemical compounds such as cellulose, amino-sugars, and proteins or protein-polysaccharide complexes e.

  5. 4. Design of a galvanotaxic track for cells, using polymer electrodes.

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologiTekniska högskolan

    Author : Katarina Bengtsson; [2011]
    Keywords : PEDOT:PSS; galvanotaxis; polymer electrodes; microsystem;

    Abstract : Galvanotaxis is the movement of cells in an applied electric field. The first steps to design a chip for observations of galvanotaxic behavior of cells were done in this work. The chip is a miniaturised system of previous larger galvanotaxis systems and uses materials which are thought to be biocompatible. READ MORE
