  • About the course

    CHEM-E1210 Bioproduct Mill Recovery Processes is an advanced level course in which the students are expected to have prior knowledge on biomass and its industrial processing. The focus will be in the kraft process that dominates the chemical fractionation of biomass.

    The weekly program will include interactive on-site lectures (on Tuesdays at 10:15-12:00, weeks 36-41), prerecorded off-line lectures (to be studied on own time), on-site exercises (on Fridays at 12:15-14:00, weeks 37-41) and laboratory works (on Fridays at 9:15-12:00, weeks 39-41). In the exercises and laboratories students work in groups on a given project related with the lectures. In the end, each group will make a short oral presentation on their project. Forms of passing and grading the course will be agreed with the students on the introductory lecture.
