Renewable Building Blocks from Wheat and Maize Straws (ReBuBloS)

该项目旨在进一步开发一种新型秸秆生物炼制工艺，以开发一系列应用产品为目标，如用于塑料制造的平台化学品和用于增值应用的高质量纤维素纤维。这项技术将通过减少能源和生产新的转换技术，为中国经济带来三线制造效益。在中国和英国，秸秆是一种未被充分利用的副产品，作为原料具有巨大的潜力。然而，使用这种原料是有问题的，需要新的技术方法。秸秆生物精炼厂的概念于1995年在班戈首次提出，首席科学家目前在北京工作。该项目将引入新技术，如新型酶，并将使用基于班戈的新型分馏工艺。该项目将使北京和班戈能够共同努力，提高和展示以前无法实现的规模效益。这笔资金将使这项技术能够应用于中国的制造能力，从而产生显著的经济和环境效益。

This project seeks to further develop a novel straw biorefinery process that will target the development of a range ofproducts for applications such as platform chemicals for plastic manufacturing and high quality cellulosic fibres for valueadded applications. This technology will bring triple line manufacturing benefits to the Chinese economy through reductionsin energy and the production of new conversion technologies. Straw is an underutilised co-product in China and the UKwith a great potential as a feedstock. However, using this feedstock is problematic and new technological approaches areneeded. The straw bio-refinery concept was first developed in Bangor in 1995 and the principle scientist is now based inBeijing. This project will introduce new technologies such as novel enzymes and will use a novel fractionation process thatis based in Bangor. The project will enable Beijing and Bangor to work together and enhance and demonstrate the benefitsat a scale previously not achievable. Funding will enable the application of the technology to the manufacturing capacity ofChina which will result significant economic and environmental benefits.
