Chemical derivatization of galactoglucomannan for functional materials
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-11-14)
In the framework of the biorefinery concept researchers aspire to optimize the utilization of plant materials, such as agricultural wastes and wood. For most of the known processes, the first steps in the valorisation of ...
A reaction engineering approach to homogeneously catalyzed glycerol hydrochlorination
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2016-05-20)
The production of biodiesel through transesterification has created a surplus of glycerol on the international market. In few years, glycerol has become an inexpensive and abundant raw material, subject to numerous plausible ...
Optimization of a steel plant utilizing converted biomass
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2016-06-10)
Thermal reactions of the major hydrocarbon components of biomass gasification gas
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-12-19)
Gasification of biomass is an efficient method process to produce liquid fuels, heat and electricity. It is interesting especially for the Nordic countries, where raw material for the processes is readily available. The ...
Functionalisation of spruce O-acetyl-galactoglucomannans for barrier and composite applications
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-10-23)
The increasing use of energy, food, and materials by the growing population in the world is leading to the situation where alternative solutions from renewable carbon resources are sought after. The growing use of plastics ...
New families of highly efficient, halogen-free flame retardants for polypropylene (PP)
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-12-11)
The driving forces for current research of flame retardants are increased fire safety in
combination with flame retardant formulations that fulfill the criteria of sustainable
production and products. In recent years, ...
Functional cellulose microspheres for pharmaceutical applications
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-02-13)
Dissolving cellulose is the first main step in preparing novel cellulosicmaterials. Since cellulosic fibres cannot be easily dissolved in water-based solvents, fibres were pretreated with ethanol-acid solution prior to the ...
Intensification of hemicellulose hot-water extraction from spruce wood by parameter tuning
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-05-22)
The growing population on earth along with diminishing fossil deposits and the climate change debate calls out for a better utilization of renewable, bio-based materials. In a biorefinery perspective, the renewable biomass ...
Pressurized hot water flow-through extraction of birch wood
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-03-13)
Effective processes to fractionate the main compounds in biomass, such as wood, are a prerequisite for an effective biorefinery. Water is environmentally friendly and widely used in industry, which makes it a potential ...
Silicon-containing species in used lube oil re-refining
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-03-23)
Nowadays, the re-refining of the used lube oils has gained worldwide a lot of attention due to the necessity for added environmental protection and increasingly stringent environmental legislation. One of the parameters ...
