Production of highvalue biobased products from sugar cane bioethanol industry solid and liquid wastes by low energy electrochemical treatment of
effluents and pyrolysis of lignocellulosic materials using thermomagnetic catalysts
Characterize different effluents and wastes found in sugar and ethanol industries in the Cauca Valley, Colombia,
Measure operational variables, characterize the products obtained by treating said effluents using a low energy electrochemical process,
Measure operational variables, and characterize the reaction products when processing cellulosic materials from the previous process, through
both a conventional pyrolysis, and a modified pyrolysis where the bed is comprised of thermomagnetic particles subject to an induction field,
Conceptualize a self-sufficient and zero waste process integrating the waste feedstock processing and conversion subsystems with heat and
power generation, and other utility subsystems, and e) evaluate the economic, environmental and social sustainability of the process.
