Intensified Mechano-Chemical Processes For Sustainable Biomass Conversion

在2015年COP21会议期间，加拿大承诺到2030年将其温室气体排放量减少30%，并在35年内从可再生能源中生产100%的能源。拟议的加拿大可持续生物质转化强化机械化学工艺研究主席通过发挥超声波和微波等替代能源的作用，重新定义了工艺强化。主席的研究计划是创新和原创的，因为它通过寻找和利用协同作用来解决多相催化和过程强化之间的技术差距，从而降低能源需求并缩短生物质的上市时间。主席将最大限度地提高工艺生产率，同时最大限度地减少加拿大能源密集型化学工业的规模和能源需求。

During the 2015 COP21 conference, Canada committed to reducing its GHG emissions by 30 % by 2030, and producing 100 % of its energy from renewables within 35 years. The proposed Canada Research Chair in Intensified Mechano-Chemical Processes for Sustainable Biomass Conversion redefines process intensification by bringing into play alternative energy sources such as ultrasound and microwaves. The Chair's research program is innovative and original in that it addresses the technological gap between heterogeneous catalysis and process intensification by finding and exploiting synergies that reduce the energy requirements and shorten the time-to-market of biomass- based processes. The Chair will maximize maximize process productivity while minimizing the size and energy requirements of the energy-intensive chemical industry in Canada.
