Production de biobutanol par Clostridium acetobutylicum / Clostridium beijerinckii
|
Dr. Rawaa Abdullah |
Ce projet de recherche porte sur la production biotechnologique de biobutanol, un biocarburant renouvelable présentant une densité énergétique plus élevée et une moindre hygroscopicité que le bioéthanol. L’étude vise à optimiser les conditions de fermentation de Clostridium acetobutylicum et/ou Clostridium beijerinckii, deux bactéries solvantogènes capables de convertir différentes sources de carbone — telles que le glucose, l’amidon ou les hydrolysats lignocellulosiques — en butanol par le biais du processus de fermentation ABE (acétone-butanol-éthanol). Objectifs :
Pertinence pour le Liban :Au Liban, où la dépendance aux carburants fossiles importés engendre des défis économiques et environnementaux importants, le développement de technologies locales de biocarburants représente une voie prometteuse vers une énergie durable. L’utilisation de résidus agricoles et de déchets agroalimentaires comme substrats de fermentation pourrait réduire l’accumulation des déchets tout en offrant une source d’énergie alternative, économique et respectueuse de l’environnement. La promotion de la production de biobutanol s’inscrit dans les objectifs du Liban visant à renforcer la biotechnologie verte, à soutenir les économies rurales et à diminuer les émissions de carbone. |

| Title | Supervisor | Description |
| Intersatellite Laser Communication |
Establishing a Fiber Laser Link between 2 Satellites for Laboratory Testing. 📍 Wavelength Typical fiber lasers use ~1550 nm wavelengths (telecom band), which:
Some research explores shorter wavelengths for tighter beams, but shorter wavelengths are more susceptible to scattering in Earth’s atmosphere — less of an issue in space. 📍 Power & Modulation To support advanced modulation formats (e.g., QAM, coherent systems) and high data rates, the laser must have:
📍 Thermal & Radiation Hardening Space qualified fiber lasers incorporate:
📍 Pointing, Acquisition, and Tracking (PAT) Laser communication requires precise pointing between satellites (microradian accuracy). The laser’s stability supports PAT systems that keep narrow beams aligned.
