Development of innovative strategies for the utilization of biomass in chemical processes. MSC

Abstract:
The utilization of biomass as a renewable and sustainable resource in chemical processes has gained significant attention in recent years. This research aims to explore innovative strategies for the effective utilization of biomass in various chemical processes. The study will focus on identifying suitable biomass feedstocks, developing efficient conversion technologies, optimizing process parameters, and evaluating the environmental and economic feasibility of biomass-based chemical processes. The findings of this research will contribute to the development of sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional fossil fuel-based chemical processes.
