Learning outcomes

The course is dedicated to the definition of the concept of BIOREFINERY and its impact in the field of industrial biotechnology and bioeconomy in general. The three main steps of a biorefinery process (feedstock preparation, fermentation, down-stream processing for product recovery) will be the basis of the teaching activity. Several examples of fine chemicals production from dedicated crops or agro-/industrial-/civil- waste will be given during the course

Program

Program:
- The concept of biorefinery for the valorisation of biomass of different origin (dedicated crops, refuse, waste) into bio-molecules of economic value in the framework of circular bioeconomy
- Feedstock preparation (pre-treatments) by means of chemical-physical and biological processes
- Biotecnological processes for the conversion of biomass of different origin into high added value bio-based products (type of process, type of bioreactor, facilities, monitoring)
- Down stream processing for recovery and purification of bio-molecules of interest
- Case studies and techno-economic analysis of some industrial applications

Examination Methods

The final oral examination is dedicated to the verification of applying knowledge and understanding by means of a description of a train of operation. The understanding of the global policy framework will be also verified during the examination.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Type D and Type F activities

Le attività formative in ambito D o F comprendono gli insegnamenti impartiti presso l'Università di Verona o periodi di stage/tirocinio professionale.
Nella scelta delle attività di tipo D, gli studenti dovranno tener presente che in sede di approvazione si terrà conto della coerenza delle loro scelte con il progetto formativo del loro piano di studio e dell'adeguatezza delle motivazioni eventualmente fornite.

News for students

There you will find information, resources and services useful during your time at the University (Student’s exam record, your study plan on ESSE3, Distance Learning courses, university email account, office forms, administrative procedures, etc.). You can log into MyUnivr with your GIA login details: only in this way will you be able to receive notification of all the notices from your teachers and your secretariat via email and soon also via the Univr app.

Graduation

Deadlines and administrative fulfilments

For deadlines, administrative fulfilments and notices on graduation sessions, please refer to the Graduation Sessions - Science and Engineering service.

Need to activate a thesis internship

For thesis-related internships, it is not always necessary to activate an internship through the Internship Office. For further information, please consult the dedicated document, which can be found in the 'Documents' section of the Internships and work orientation - Science e Engineering service.
