  1. University of KentuckyCollege of Agriculture, College of EngineeringCenter for Applied Energy Research Biomass Characterization Collection/Storage Fractionation DirectUtilization Biomass Conversion Thermochemical | Fermentation Catalysis Process Development Upgrading Downstream Processing Fuels, Chemicals, Energy

  2. Collection, Characterization, and Direct Utilization • Collection Scenarios • Collection and transportation economics • Drying and processing • Mechanical fractionation • Characterization • Elemental analysis (C, H, O, N) • Physical analysis (moisture content, ash, and calorific value) • Carbohydrates (HPLC) • Near infrared reflectance • rapid analysis of carbohydrates, lignin, ash, etc • Fuels analysis • Direct Utilization • Grindability and moisture content • Co-feeding for electric power production • Briquetted fuels

  3. Biomass Processing and Conversion • Thermochemical Conversion • Direct Liquefaction in Extruder-Reactor System • On-farm or on-site conversion to bio-oil • Bio-Oil Upgrading • Increase stability, reduce oxygen content • Indirect Liquefaction – Fischer-Tropsch Catalysis • Biomass Gasification – producer gas for industrial use • Microbial Conversion • Thermophilic Anaerobes – direct biomass conversion • Cellulase Production/Solid Substrate Cultivation • Catalysis for Biodiesel Production • Reduces washing steps, higher quality glycerol byproduct • Amenable to use in continuous processes • Downstream Processing • Concentrating Sugar Solutions • Recovery of Value-Added Products • Product Upgrading
