応用化学特論第５

The lecture aims to introduce the concept of biorefineries as a sustainable and practical response to the depletion of fossil resources and the environmental challenges facing our planet. It goes beyond theoretical frameworks to highlight real-world examples and current practices, which often reveal unsuspected complexities and opportunities that purely academic approaches might overlook. A significant focus of the course is on heterogeneous catalysis—a key technology for converting biomass into valuable chemicals and fuels—providing both foundational knowledge and examples of advanced applications.
