Presentation Transcript

  1. Development of an integrated biorefinery for processing chitin rich biowaste to specialty and fine chemicals ChiBio is a large integrated R&D project funded through the FP7 KBBE Programme of the European Union www.chibiofp7.eu Grant agreement no: 289284

  2. Agenda • Project Motive • What is in crustacean waste? • What is Chitin? And what are its applications? • ChiBio Refinery and project PERT Chart • Who is involved in this project? • Work Package 2 (WP2)-Fishery Waste Pretreatment • WP2 Objectives • WP2 Achievements • Questions

  3. Fishery Waste to High Value Products The European fishery industry is a major source of industrial biowaste in Europe. The processing of crustaceans (e.g. shrimps and crabs) in the EU alone results in more than ~750.000 t/a of shell waste1and globally it is estimated at 1.44 million metric tons

  4. Crustacean Waste • Protein • Calcium Carbonate • Carotenoids • Polysaccharides- Chitin > Chitosan

  5. Chitin • Naturally occurring polysaccharide, second most abundant in nature next to cellulose • Chitin and its deacetylated derivative chitosan are exceptionally useful polymers • They are biodegradable, non-toxic and biocompatible making them useful in a range of applications

  6. Chitin Uses • Agriculture-fertilizer to improve crops • Medicine-Wound and burn treatment-increases healing time • Food-additive to stabilise foods • Water treatment, the paper and textile industries and tissue engineering

  10. WP2 Fishery Waste Pretreatment Carla Harkin Dr. Denis McCrudden Dr. Wolfram Bruck Dr. Catherine Lynch

  11. WP2 Objectives • Acquire crustacean shell wastes (Europe/Asia/Africa) • Pretreatment of crustacean shell wastes to chitin and chitinous material (Raw/Cooked/Chemical/Microbial/Size) • Stabilization for transportation (moist/dry/purity) • Setting up analytical methods for constant quality control for chitin/chitinous material (Determination of optimum assays for QC)

  12. WP2 • QC methods established: solubility of product, water and fat solubility, degree of deacetylation, ash, FTIR, moisture, microbial load, nitrogen content (Kjeldahl), and composition of raw materials (AA). • Protocols generated for chemical and microbial isolation of chitinous materials. • Batches of chitinous material have been sent to the project partners fulfilling our work targets
