Klappentext zu „Biodegradable Plastic from Wheat “
The unnerving price of petroleum will push a major change from a petroleum based economy to a natural feedstock based economy. Bestowed with all the essential nutrients necessary for microbial growth and being the predominant crop in the UK, wheat can be suitable candidate to provide this renewable feedstock. A process has been developed in the University of Manchester, UK, to convert the essential nutrients in wheat to a microbially accessible wheat based fermentation feedstock. At the same time, in response to the increasing concerns over the environment, the objective of this project is to establish a novel process to produce a biodegradable plastic, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) from the wheat based fermentation feedstock.The technical feasibility of PHB production from the wheat based fermentation feedstock, has been demonstrated by the results presented in this book.
Autoren-Porträt von Yunji Xu, Colin Webb
Professor Colin Webb, BSc, PhD, CEng, CSci, FIChemE, FIAFoST is currently Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology in the UK. He is also Director of the Satake Centre for Grain Process Engineering, which he founded within the Department of Chemical Engineering in 1994. He joined UMIST in 1979 after graduating with a first class degree in Chemical Engineering and a PhD in Biochemical Engineering from the University of Aston. During his time in Manchester, Colin has supervised 75 higher degree theses including 25 PhDs. Publications include seven books, more than 160 research papers and three patents. He has been Editor of Elsevier s Biochemical Engineering Journal since its launch and serves on the editorial boards of four other international journals. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers and a member of the American Association of Cereal Chemists. In 1999, Colin was honoured by being elected founding Fellow of the International Academy of Food Science and Technology. His research interests are largely directed towards the application of process engineering concepts to grain processing systems, particularly in the area of bioconversion of cereal products. He is currently working on a range of projects to establish cereals as a viable renewable resource for chemicals production.
