教学目标 Course Objectives
The goal of this course is to provide students with background, principles and technical breadth relevant to bioenergy
development. It will also allow students to identify critical issues and opportunities in bioseparation sciences and
technologies. We will first introduce the basic methods of bioseparations that are essential in bioenergy development:
analytical methods, cell lysis and flocculation, filtration, sedimentation, and extraction. Then we will focus on latest
bioenergy conversion technologies: biomass resources, ethanol fermentation, biodiesel production, anaerobic digestion,
thermochemical conversion techniques, and other new technologies.
16.
预达学习成果 Learning Outcomes
1. Students will be able use differential equations in solving transport phenomenon problems.
2. Students will gain knowledge about contemporary bioenergy conversion processes and technologies.
3. Students will gain scientific writing skills.
