Biotechniques 2024 – 9ᵗʰ International Conference on Biotechniques for Air Pollution Control and Biorefinery
July 10 - July 12
📆 10-12 July 2024
📍 Palexco – Conference & Exhibition Center, A Coruña, Spain
This conference, organized by BIOENGIN group at University of A Coruña, covers a wide range of topics related to the application of aspects including environmental biotechnology, metabolic engineering, bioprocess engineering, industrial applications, among others, related to air 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 to facilitate 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
- Integration of non-biological processes
