DIBANET E-learning
The DIBANET project offers two e-learning courses on diesel production from
wastes and residues, free-of-charge. The courses are available (after
registration) to everyone interested in second generation diesel production.
Covered topics in course 1 (hydrolysis):
- Carbohydrate chemistry: (important components for acid hydrolysis)
- Feedstocks of Europe & Latin America
- Conventional and rapid analytical methods for biomass analysis
- Acid hydrolysis of biomass (pre-treatment, kinetics and products)
- Catalysis in acid hydrolysis of biomass
- Analysis of DMBs produced to comply with EU590 on biodiesel
Covered topics in course 2 (thermal processing):
- Introduction to biofuels
- Thermal processing of Biomass (slow, fast pyrolysis, gasification)
- Biomass catalytic pyrolysis
- Upgrading of pyrolysis products (esterification, catalytic cracking)
- Analysis of DMBs produced to comply with EU590 on biodiesel
The e-learning was prepared with Articulate software that makes it easier to
access the e-learning materials by any type of Internet browsers.
