Learning Outcomes
Upon the successful completion of this course, students will know about:
the analysis of wood in its components, its chemical composition, as well as the origin, isolation, chemical structure, biosynthesis, chemical reactions and the importance of cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin and wood extracts. Students will also be familiar with the chemical properties of wood (reagent intake, adsorption-desorption, shrinkage-swelling, dissolution in ionic liquids, chemical degradation of wood, thermal degradation, biological degradation, climatic changes), the modification of wood (thermal, chemical, by impregnation, with nanoformulations), wood pulp and paper production processes (pulping methods, treatment, bleaching, paper types), the polymeric derivatives of cellulose (regenerated, ethers, esters, microcrystalline, nanocellulose), chemicals (lignin, extracts) and energy production methods (combustion, pyrolysis, gasification).
