Keynote speech on Carbon Capture (CCST 2022)

On July 22, 2022, as invited by Dr Chun-fei Wu (Reader of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the Queen’s University Belfast, UK Editor-in-Chief of Carbon Capture Science & Technology), Prof. Zhen Fang attended the International Conference on Carbon Capture Science and Technology 2022 (CCST2022) held in Northern Ireland, UK. Prof. Fang gave a lecture on “Pretreatment and hydrolysis of lignocellulosic Biomass for Biorefineries”. He introduced

1. Hydrolysis

(i) Pretreatment for enzymatic hydrolysis (e.g., 50 °C)

(ii) Catalytic hydrolysis (e.g., 180 °C)

(iii) Hydrothermal Hydrolysis

near CP (374 °C & 22.1 MPa) without catalyst

2. Microbial and Jatropha biodiesel

Green production with functional catalysts

3. Liquid biofuels

(e.g., methyl levulinate, γ-valerolactone, 2,5-dimethylfuran, methylfuran) from carbohydrates (e.g., sugars, cellulose) with nanocatalysts
