Abstract:
Lignocellulosic crop residues (LCR) represent an important biomass category resulted from agricultural harvesting activities. Such materials consisting of plant parts are of little economic value and regarded as crop wastes. Opportunity of the project proposal is obvious in the light of the existing high available amounts of LCR, further considered as raw materials, the existing knowledge on their processing and the chemical composition.
Another strong argument is the need off boosting up the economy of papermaking fiber production by using such materials by preliminary extraction xylan based hemicelluloses (XHC). The challenges of the project proposal concern: the finding the most favorable approach for separation of polymeric form of xylan and further process the extracted LCR to adequate papermaking quality fibers; recovery and reuse of the alkali consumed in XHC separation; removal of inhibitory compounds valorization the residual liquid flows to chemicals by biotechnological approach; to find adequate treatment of final effluents for reuse or discharge. Specific life cycle assessment tools will finally indicate the environmental performance of the practically demonstrated LCR processing approaches.

Abstract:
The AI-HSS project aims to provide a small-scale industry ready complete system optimized for wastewater treatment, with a focus on pollutants such as colorants, cyanide, antibiotics and black liqueur. In order to reach this ambitious goal, a multitask laboratory-scale system (referred to as REM, with novel elements) combining multiple treatment methods will be modeled, improved, optimized, and prepared for automation and control. The objective is twofold: (1) to extend the REM applicability, to optimize its design and performances and to establish its efficiency and economic potential, thus taking it a step forward to industrial feasibility; (2) to develop a general Artificial Intelligence (Artificial Neural networks and Bio-Inspired Metaheuristics) based modelling-optimization methodology that can be easily applicable to large area of pollutants, with a clear demonstration on a handful of examples. The aim is to provide answers to important questions from the efficiency perspective and to generate a comprehensive knowledge database and new algorithms integrated in an efficient and easy to use software that could be further used in the automation process. To highlight the AI-HSS flexibility and ability to provide optimal results, the new system will be tested on a set of industrial effluents. This will represent an important step in the eventual scale-up to a large industry ready treatment system.

Abstract:
The main objective of the project is to create a cyanide degradation system that combines the technological component with the software one. Thus, the aim is to achieve a symbiosis between the prototype and the dedicated software to obtain a functional equipment that can be used on a laboratory scale for the elimination of cyanides.
Given that the completion of this project involves combining knowledge from different fields (chemical engineering design and software development), in order to obtain a new system that incorporates them, the objectives have been grouped into two categories: objectives specific to each field and general objectives related to the final, integrated equipment (conceptual analysis, selection of equipment and types of algorithms that will control the decision-making phase). The specific objectives of engineering design involve the completion of the following stages: process control, automation, design, assembly and testing of equipment. Software development involves achieving the following objectives: expert system design, optimization algorithm design, testing and validation on a real case.
The general activities necessary to fulfill the main objective of the project and its specific objectives were grouped into five categories: the design of the hybrid prototype; development of the program for data acquisition, processing and decision-making in the cyanide removal process; equipment construction; automation and prototype control; experimental validation.

Abstract:
The aim of this research is to prepare some Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts using a new method and to study the catalytic active sites – nanoiron complexes – in order to establish the mechanism of biomimetic activation of alpha oxygen.
In order to reach the goal of the project several problems must be solved:
- Fe-ZSM-5 preparation using iron III oxalate method (optimisation of the preparation method, establishing the influence of the counterion and aluminium content of the parent zeolite on the ion exchange degree)
- physico-chemical characterisation of the obtained catalysts (carrying out classical tests for zeolite catalysts characterisation)
- nanoscale characterisation of iron active sites of the catalysts (finding out all types of nanoiron complexes and establishing the role of the near vicinity aluminium on the iron level of coordination)
- testing the catalytic/biomimetic activity of the catalysts (testing the activity for methane to methanol and benzene to phenol oxidation, but also for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ammonia or hydrocarbons)
- study of biomimetic capacity to activate oxygen (establishing the mechanism of alpha oxygen formation and the factors that affects its reversible or irreversible behaviour)
The proposed project is conceived as a continuation of research made during Marie Curie Training Site fellowship with contract number HPMT-CT-2001-0047, at University of Torino, and the research results will be included in the PhD thesis.
