Open lecture: Breaking Barriers: Pretreatment Strategies for Valorising Recalcitrant Organic Waste

Swarnima Agnihotri, Associate Professor of Industrial Biotechnology, will discuss how pretreatment methods enable the efficient separation of tough biomass into valuable components such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, and how these fractions are further converted into value-added products—demonstrating a process-driven approach to sustainable resource utilization within integrated biorefineries.

The lecture is aimed at researchers, students, and professionals in biotechnology, environmental science, and chemical engineering. It may also interest anyone curious about organic waste treatment and sustainable technologies.
