This research uses computational modelling and experimental studies to improve the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into sugars that can be used to produce renewable fuels and bioproducts. Currently, the operation of these systems is limited by problems with mixing and enzyme performance, which are influenced by the type of pretreatment, the type and dose of enzymes, and the amount of solids within the bioreactor. We propose to collect experimental data on mixing and biomass conversion using a range of pretreatment conditions/options, and different mixer/impeller configurations within the bioreactor. We will also collect video/observational data using mixing beads and viscous fluids to evaluate mixing.

这项研究使用计算建模和实验研究来提高木质纤维素生物质转化为可用于生产可再生燃料和生物产品的糖的转化率。目前，这些系统的操作受到混合和酶性能问题的限制，这些问题受到预处理类型、酶的类型和剂量以及生物反应器内固体量的影响。我们建议使用一系列预处理条件/选项，以及生物反应器内不同的混合器/叶轮配置，收集有关混合和生物质转化的实验数据。我们还将使用混合珠和粘性流体收集视频/观察数据，以评估混合。
