Mem-Fast Membranes as Enablers for Future Biorefineries: from Fabrication to Advanced Separation Technologies

博士网络“memfast”-膜作为未来生物炼制的推手：从制造到先进的分离技术-旨在培养11名未来的专业人士（其中一名是UKRI资助的），他们有必要的理解，以促进膜在不断增长的生物炼制行业中的应用。在mems - fast网络中实施的研究和培训活动形成了“首创”的新颖和独特的博士培训计划。这反映了不断变化的研究重点和与改善生物炼制工艺以发展循环经济相关的新兴学科。该网络在欧洲层面的受益者（CNR-ITM， LUT， LU， ULANC， UMK， UNL， UT）和相关合作伙伴（Alfa Laval, Aquaporin, Fibenol, Deltamem, Domsjö， B4C asp, MemBrain, NX Filtration, RAIZ-Navigator， UNICAL， UPM）进行培训，为博士生提供了对膜制造和膜工艺和生物炼制工艺的高度应用理解，这对欧盟化学行业和循环经济的未来至关重要。博士候选人的个人项目旨在通过开发先进的膜，监测和控制污染的新型工具以及同时进行生物转化和产品回收的新型连续工艺，推动膜在生物炼制中的应用。该网络计划为该部门提供了一种新的培训方法，并将通过结合网络知识提供第一批高技能的未来研究领导者和管理人员。此外，它还为欧洲博士教育奠定了基础，该教育将在未来继续进行，重点是生物炼制中的膜

The doctoral network "Mem-Fast" - Membranes as Enablers for Future Biorefineries: from Fabrication to Advanced Separation Technologies - aims to educate 11 future professionals (one UKRI subsidised), who have the needed understanding to facilitate the utilisation of membranes in the growing biorefining industry. The research and training activities implemented in the Mem-Fast network form a "first of its kind" novel and unique doctoral training program. This reflects changing research priorities and emerging disciplines related to improving biorefinery processes to grow the Circular Economy. The network structures training at the European level in beneficiaries (CNR-ITM, LUT, LU, ULANC, UMK, UNL, UT) and associated partners (Alfa Laval, Aquaporin, Fibenol, Deltamem, Domsjö, B4C asp, MemBrain, NX Filtration, RAIZ-Navigator, UNICAL, UPM) across 11 countries giving the doctoral students a highly applied understanding on both membrane manufacturing and membrane processes and biorefinery processes that are critical to the future of EU's chemical sector and circular economy. The individual projects of the doctoral candidates aim to push forward the use of membranes in biorefineries through the development of advanced membranes, novel tools for monitoring and controlling of fouling and novel continuous processes for simultaneous bioconversion and recovery of products. The network program leads to a new approach to training for the sector and will provide a first cohort of highly skilled future research leaders and managers by combining this network knowledge. Furthermore, it creates a basis for a European doctoral education focused on membranes in biorefineries that will be continued in the future
