chemical research. Therefore, understanding the structural properties of the biomass
and biotransformation structure-activity relationship is the critical foundation for a
new-generation refining process for raw materials in the biological and chemical
industries.
The functional high value of biomass belongs to the raw material refining cluster
reaction system, based on the most economical and most effective procedures and
methods to achieve the transformation of raw materials. Therefore, recognizing the
cluster reaction mechanism in each process of the biomass multistage directional
conversion refining system and analyzing the refining system based on the full
utilization of biomass solid materials and the matching coupling principle of
each process are the keys to achieve efficient refining of biomass feedstock.
The major scientific issues involved include process interrelation of the large-
scale, multilevel, multiscale, and high-value conversion and exploring the energy
conversion and transfer rules in the biomass process industry based on systems
engineering principles and methods. On this basis, the major scientific issues also
include analyzing the economic and technical feasibility of the functional process
and summarizing the biomass cluster reaction mechanism and the universal law to
achieve the integrated optimization of biorefining.
Taking bioethanol as a model product, the research focus is on the coupling
effects and optimization principles of hydrolysis and the biodegradation process of
refined biomass feedstock and analysis of the heat and mass transfer laws and the
reaction mechanism in the bioreactor to establish the matter and energy transfer law
and coupling process optimization principle of the continuous process that integrates
straw hydrolysis, fermentation, and product in situ adsorption and separation.
