Bio-GENTLE Green membrane bioseparation for circular economy

Bio-Soft将培训12名博士生(DC，2名UKRI资助)，总体目标是推动欧洲在生物分子研究和开发方面走在前列，这些生物分子可用于食品、制药和化妆品行业的大批量商品或小批量但高价值的化合物。该网络的科学目标将是产生和共享这些目标的知识、见解和解决方案，从而推动在更大规模上实现可持续生物材料生产，并为其在欧洲的食品、药品和化妆品中应用提供证据。此外，行动的实施将把来自学术界和产业界的不同背景的专业人士连接到这个网络中，从而加强合作和讨论，将生物分子分离和利用领域带入循环经济的下一个层面。Bio-Soft既有原创性又有创新性，因为它利用了一种独特的跨学科方法，结合了基础分析、实验和数学建模的力量，创建了一个面向绿色和循环经济的灵活的生物分离平台。从材料到过程的整体方法包含在这一培训网络中。对于新型膜工艺的成功开发，强烈建议采用这种方法。12名DC将接受培训，体验从材料特性到完整的工艺设计和评估的完整链。

Bio-GENTLE will train 12 doctoral candidates (DCs, 2 UKRI subsidised) with an overarching goal to propel Europe to the forefront of research and development of biomolecules that can be used as high-volume commodities or low-volume, but high-value compounds in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The scientific aim of this network will be to produce and share knowledge, insights, and solutions to these objectives, thereby enabling major steps towards, and providing evidence of sustainable biomaterials production on larger scales for application in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics in Europe. Furthermore, the implementation of the actions will connect professionals of various backgrounds from academics and from industry in this network, thus strengthening collaboration and discussions to bring the biomolecules separation and utilization field to the next level of the circular economy. Bio-GENTLE is both original and innovative because it utilizes a unique interdisciplinary approach combining the power of fundamental analysis, experimentation, and mathematical modeling, to create a flexible bioseparation platform geared toward a green and circular economy. The holistic approach, from material to process, is enclosed in this training network. Such an approach is strongly recommended for the successful development of novel membrane processes. The 12 DCs will be trained and experience the complete chain from materials properties to complete process design and evaluation.
