Sustainable biorefinery of seaweed at pilot scale KU Leuven
The PhD student will develop technologies to extract high-value compounds from brown seaweed (kelp) at pilot scale, following the principles of green chemistry, with as main aim to reduce the use of solvents harmful to the environment and improve the sustainability of the extraction processes by using green solvents and sustainable innovative technologies (supercritical fluid, microwave, ultrasound). Extraction methods at pilot scale will be ...
