Use and Recycling of Agri-Food Biomasses
A.Y. 2019/2020
Learning objectives
The course aims to provide students with the knowledge to manage agro-industrial and non-industrial waste biomasses, as well as for their possible use to produce goods and / or bioenergy through biological processes or chemical-physical approaches.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the students will be able to develop alternative solutions to the disposal of waste biomass in a green-economy context.
