Posted By: Hija Chang on October 13, 2016 The National Science Foundation has awarded Jackson State University a five-year $6 million grant to study bio-resource materials for sustainable food, energy and water resource development. JSU’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is collaborating with the University of Delaware, University of Mississippi and the University of Wyoming in the research. The official name of the project is “EPSCoR Track II: Collaborative Research and Education on Synergized Transformational Solar Chemical Looping and Photo-Ultrasonic Renewable Biomass Refinery.” Lescysnyski Leszczynski This project is expected to significantly advance the understanding of thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport phenomena in chemical looping-based energy production system. The three main tasks of this project are (1) the development of a transformational solar catalytic chemical looping biomass refinery technology for production of fuel and biochar from biomass; (2) enhancement of biochar quality and functionalization of biochar; and (3) applications of P&UCEB and functionalized P&UCEB in Coz-capture/clean-energy production, water treatment and food production. Principal investigator Dr. Jerzy Leszczynski said this is a great opportunity for the JSU team. Continued: http://www.jsumsnews.com/?utm_campaign=Fal...
