The proposed research aims at overcoming the issues with oat hulls waste management by developing green processes for its conversion to higher value chemicals. The proposed research will be investigating hydrothermal extraction and microwave assisted hydrolysis system for the extraction of hemicellulose and its conversion to arabinoxylan and furfurals. Richardson Milling Limited (RML) is a global leader in oat milling. Richardson Milling whole grain oat groats are produced by cleaning, dehulling and kiln toasting high quality raw oats. Raw oat may contain in an average 25% hulls and could vary between 20 - 36%. The hulls represent a significant volume of by-product from oat milling operations. Currently, the oat hulls are of low value and incurs additional cost to Richardson for its safe disposal. The efficient and environmentally friendly methods for handling oat hulls and its conversion to higher value products will greatly enhance the sustainability of oat milling operations.

拟议的研究旨在通过开发绿色工艺将燕麦壳转化为更高价值的化学品来克服燕麦壳废物管理的问题。拟议的研究将研究水热提取和微波辅助水解系统，用于提取半纤维素及其转化为阿拉伯木聚糖和糠醛。 Richardson Milling Limited (RML) 是全球燕麦加工领域的领导者。 Richardson Milling 全麦碎粒是通过清洁、脱壳和窑炉烘烤高品质原燕麦而生产的。生燕麦平均含有 25% 的壳，含量可能在 20 - 36% 之间。燕麦壳是燕麦加工过程中产生的大量副产品。目前，燕麦壳的价值较低，并且给理查森带来了额外的安全处置成本。处理燕麦壳并将其转化为更高价值产品的高效且环保的方法将大大提高燕麦加工作业的可持续性。
