Course Description

COURSE CONTENT

Definition of renewable raw materials (RRM-s). Classification of RRMs, technological, ecological and economic reasons for application of RRMs. The comparison of RRMs with fossil raw materials (FRMs) and the influence on eco-systems. Databanks related to RRMs. Sustainability and sustainable biotechnological productions. Systematic analysis of technological production chains, transportations, intermediate substances, final products as well as recycling and disposal processes. Life cycle analysis (LCA) and sustainability process index (SPI). Biotechnological, chemical and thermo-mechanical processing of  waste materials and RRMs (lignocellulosic complex, green biomass, starch- and sugar containing sources, fatts ) toward biofuels, biosolvents and bioplastic.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  1. To know the ecological, economic, technological and social reasons for application of RRMs, definition and classification of RRMs, the comparison of RRMs and FRMs.
  2. Utilization of ecological data-banks, calculation of yields for technological processing chains and systematic analysis of mass balances concerning RRMs, the influence of transportation, intermediates, byproducts and products; Natural, serviceable, ecologic and technological segment of Life cycle analysis (LCA); Sustainability process index (SPI).
  3.  Similarities, differencies and ecological analysis of biotechnological and chemical  processing of RRMs (lignocellulosic complex, green biomass, starch- and sugar containing sources, fatts) as well as the waste materials toward bio-fuels, bio-plastics, bio-solvents and biocommodities.
  4.  Description and analysis of thermo-mechanical processes in pretreatments  of lignocellulosic complex, technological byproducts and communal waste materials.
