The biomass resource is of increasing importance in the global energy landscape, but also as a raw material resource. The concept of bio refinery is growing more and more. The biomass transformation processes must not simply be used to produce biofuels but also to extract high-value-added molecules for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries. The development of these units needs an understanding of phase diagrams which prove to be more complex than those we can meet with natural gas: more compounds, presence of various chemical natures of molecules (alcohols, acids, aromatic etc.) which show interactions likely to make the conventional separation patterns difficult (distillation or liquid-liquid extraction). The CTP is also working in the purification of biogas, another way of transforming the biomass.
In this research topic, the CTP is working on the study of the thermodynamic properties of mixtures of oxygenated compounds and on the purification of biogas in cryogenic conditions.
