STRIVE 113 - Summary of Findings: The use of novel enzymes for the cleaner, greener production of cellulosic bioethanol, December 2013
Year: 2013
The focus of this project was to develop an alternative greener pretreatment method, based on the use of thermoacidophilic enzymes, which aims to improve the efficiency of the pretreatment step and overcome many of the technical, economical, environmental and health & safety related disadvantages associated with current practice.
STRIVE 116 - Summary of Findings: Developing Coated Filtration Membranes for Water Purification, December 2013
Year: 2013
This project involved a laboratory scale study into improving the properties of commercial water filtration membranes for removal of metal ions such as copper and chromium from water, forming ion selective smart membranes and the reduction of protein fouling.
STRIVE 114 - Summary of Findings: From Doughnuts to Energy: Miniature Enzyme driven Biofuel Cells, December 2013
Year: 2013
The aim of this EPA funded project was to develop cost effective microfluidic platforms for enzymatic biofuel cells.
STRIVE 111 - Summary of Findings: New approaches to renewable energy, December 2013
Year: 2013
The project has demonstrated the first step towards the development of a green approach to CO2 reduction and recycling, and delivers a technology where hydrogen can be produced from water at room temperature.
