Climate-leading process industry

In this initiative, we want to develop a climate-leading and competitive process industry in the field of green chemistry, which can meet society's increased sustainability and environmental requirements, while tougher competition from the outside world places demands on increased resource efficiency and more flexible processes.

Computational modelling for improved pretreatment of waste for ethanol and biogas production

The goal of this project is to use computational methods to identify and understand the chemistry that governs the decomposition of waste materials. Initial focus will be on lignocellulosic materials that can be found in, for example, paper tubes and cotton-based wastes. In the longer term these studies will be extended to keratin containing materials that can be found in, for example, feathers. These computational studies will be performed in close collaboration with current experimental work at the School of Engineering that uses these materials. This will allow for knowledge-based (instead of resource intensive) improvement of the decomposition of waste materials that can then be used for more efficient production of, for example, renewable energy.

Digifun - Digital micro-disposal of functionalities on textile for workwear and sportswear

The main project objective is to develop a generic digital technology for micro-disposal of functional fluids on textile substrates intended for workwear and sportswear.

Computer based modeling for improved protein-based superabsorbents from waste

One of the main aims of the Waste Refinery Excellence Center is to produce new useful materials from waste. One example is zygomycetes fungi that can produce a variety of products when degrading lignocellulose, except fuel compounds also chitosan and protein materials which can be act as superabsorbents can be produced. The aim of this project is to model the protein superabsorbents produced and to propose treatments of the material to enhance the absorbing properties.

Compact-cells membrane bioreactor for efficient bioprocesses

The overall goal of this project is to develop a generally applicable methodology for production of chemicals using membrane packed microbial cells at high local cell concentration, shown to have higher volume productivity and to be more robust against microbial contamination, toxic chemicals, high osmotic stress and high concentrations of raw materials, compared to the traditional bioreactors using freely suspended or immobilized cells.
