DESCRIPTION:An Angus Banting Memorial Seminar\n\nDepartment of Bioresource 
 Engineering\nMacdonald Campus of 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ\n\nWednesday\, November
  24\, 2010\n17:30-18:30 in room R2-046 (Raymond Building)\n\nDr. Danielle 
 Julie Carrier\nProfessor\nBiological and Agricultural Engineering\nUnivers
 ity of Arkansas\nwill speak on\nFeedstocks for Biorefineries\n\nAbstract: 
 In the near future it will probably be possible to\nmanufacture liquid fue
 ls from non-starch\nbased feedstocks which will be mostly derived from pla
 nts. In the\nU.S. the hardwood species\nLiquidambar styraciflua (sweetgum)
  and the herbaceous species\nPanicum virgatum (switchgrass)\nare likely ca
 ndidates. Such feedstocks usually contain cellulose\,\nlignin and hemicell
 ulose. To be\neconomically competitive a biorefinery must utilize a proces
 s in\nwhich most of the available sugars\nare utilized\, including five ca
 rbon sugars like xylose that result\nfrom the depolymerization of\nhemicel
 lulose. In the overall process hemicellulose\ndepolymerization is critical
  because it impacts\noverall conversion\, and understanding it is very imp
 ortant. The\nproduction of valuable co-products\,\nlike shikimic acid and 
 rutin\, respectively from sweetgum and\nswitchgrass\, will also be discuss
 ed.\n\nBio: Dr. Carrier has been a professor since 1996\, first at the\nUn
 iversity of Saskatchewan and then\,\nsince 2000\, at the University of Ark
 ansas (Fayetteville\, Arkansas)\nin the Department of Biological\nand Agri
 cultural Engineering. She was promoted to the rank of\nProfessor in 2009. 
 She received\nher BSc in Agricultural Engineering in 1984\, her MEng in Ch
 emical\nEngineering in1986 and her\nPhD in Chemical Engineering in 1992\, 
 all from 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ\nUniversity.\n\nDr. Carrier’s research program is focused 
 on the extraction of\ncarbohydrates and phytochemicals\nfrom biomass. She 
 is particularly interested in forest residue and\nherbaceous energy crops\
 , and in\npressurized hot water and dilute acid pretreatments. She has\nau
 thored more than 65 peerreviewed\npublications\, one patent\, and two book
  chapters. Until now she has\ntrained more than 12\ngraduate students.\n\n
 Note: coffee and donuts beforehand in MS1-066 (the Louvre) from\n17:00 - 1
 7:30\n
