9ᵗʰ International Conference on Biotechniques for Air Pollution Control and Biorefinery
April 9 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
📆 10-12 July 2024 📍 ACoruña,Spain (Palexco Conference and Exhibition Center)
The9thInternational Conference on Biotechniques for Air Pollution Control and Biorefinery (Biotechniques-2024) covers a wide rangeof topics related to the application of aspects including environmental biotechnology, metabolic engineering, bioprocess engineering, industrial applications, among others,related toair pollution control, greenhouse gas mitigation, gas fermentation in bioreactors,(bio)fuels production and upgrading.The conference opens new doors to academic and industrial partners in order tofacilitate research cooperation between academia and industry,potentially allowing commercialization of innovative bioprocesses.
Topics of the conference (orientative, but not limited to those)
Biodegradation and valorization of volatile compounds and air pollutants, including organic and inorganic pollutants, odours, N and S compounds
Bioconversion and valorization of waste gases and greenhouse gases (e.g. CH₄, CO₂, CO) to useful products
Syngas fermentation
Biogas upgrading, biogas biodesulfurisation, synthesis gas purification
Microbiology of biocatalysts: aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungi, algae
Bioprocess engineering: bioreactor optimization and development, applied to waste gas treatment (e.g., suspended growth bioreactors, biotrickling filters, bioscrubbers, fluidized bed bioreactors, membrane bioreactors)
Microbiological aspects of waste gas treatment: physiology and metabolism, new species, microbial populations in bioreactors, application of novel microbiology approaches
