研究领域

Biofuel ethanol: all processing steps to convert lignocellulosics (plants and trees) into green ethanol (AFEX pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, ethanolic fermentation, pervaporation). Enzymatic hydrolysis: synergy of cellulases; purification and immobilization of cellulases; AFM; binding force between cellulases and cellulose; kinetics of enzymatic catalysis. Mixing in enzymatic hydrolysis: rheology of concentrated suspensions of plant fiber materials; modelization of mixing; bioreactor design. Recombinant cellulases in transgenic plants: genetic engineering; auto-hydrolysis; enzyme over-production. Anaerobic digestion of agricultural and food wastes.
