Zeolitmembraner för effektiv produktion av biobränslen

The main goal of this project is to develop inorganic membranes based on functional coatings for demanding chemical environments in the form of microporous zeolite coatings showing high permeance and selectivity and with sufficient thermal and chemical stability to allow integration of the membranes in processes for cost effective production of renewable fuels and chemicals. Such processes will open up for efficient small scale production of renewable fuels and chemicals at for instance all the pulp mills in Sweden.

Bioraffinaderi

Biorefining is the development of cost effective, integrated processes for the use of biobased materials in the production of chemicals and fuels. Current research is aimed at improvement of thermochemical and biochemical processes with an emphasis on the forest products industry. Specific projects include development of pretreatment processes for biomass, fermentations, and separations.

Zeolitforskningsgruppen

Zeoliter är mikroporösa kristallina material med mycket liten och väldefinierad porstorlek (0.3-1.3 nm). Zeolitgruppens fokus är utveckling av nya tillämpningar där zeolit kan användas t.ex. membran, strukturerade katalysatorer, strukturerade adsorbenter och sensorer.
