Goal(s)

Analysis of biomass and lignocellulosic derivatives

Responsible(s)

Maria QUESADA SALAS

Content(s)

  • Lignin: dosage of phenolic and carboxylic groups by acid-base and conductometric titration
  • Cellulose acetate: degree of acetylation
  • Cellulose: chemical oxidation and reduction, characterization

Prerequisites

Analytical chemistry, lignocellulosic biomass chemistry, chemical characterization of polymers

Test

Evaluation : 70% of and 30% of Practical test, simulation (1h30)

Group grade (50%) + Individual grade (50%):

Group work:

50% Continuous written report in the form of a research paper (introduction, objectives, materials and methods, results and discussion, conclusion, bibliography), prepared at the end of each session by student groups (teams of three).

Individual work:

20% Continuous individual assessment, taking into account participation and engagement during sessions, as well as compliance with safety guidelines, punctuality, autonomy, and independence.

30% Final individual written exam, assessing the student’s ability to calculate the basic parameters studied in class and to discuss the results. At the end of the 6 sessions, the complete set of experimental data obtained by all the lab groups will be made available to students. The exam will consist of reproducing the calculations, comparing results across groups, and discussing the origins of any differences (e.g., lignin type, oxydation adn reduction conditions).

Not eligible for second session.

The exam is given in english only
