Continuous Centrifuge and FT-IR for the Large Scale Testing of Bio-Sourced Materials

生物产品、生物燃料和来自可再生材料的生物能源是加拿大日益重要的话题，解决了可再生燃料和生物产品议程，同时也旨在加强我们的林业和农业产业。Queen 's的可再生生物质研究团队在藻类废水处理系统和藻类生物燃料技术的开发以及生物源材料的改性方面发挥了主导作用，用于加拿大的环境和材料应用。我们团队的多学科性质使我们能够在各自学科的边缘作为一个综合的努力来解决挑战。然而，这项研究需要更大的生物量和高通量分析系统来快速准确地测定和分类产品。

Bioproducts, biofuels & bioenergy from renewable materials are topics of growing importance in Canada, addressing the renewable fuels & bioproducts agenda, but also with the aim of strengthening our forestry and agricultural industries. The Renewable Biomass Research Team at Queen’s has taken a leading role in the development of algal wastewater treatment systems & algal biofuel technologies, as well as the modification of biosourced material for environmental & materials applications in Canada. The multidisciplinary nature of our group allows us to address challenges on the periphery of our respective disciplines as an integrated effort. However, this research requires larger volumes of biomass & a high throughput analytical system for a fast & accurate determination & classification of products.
