The Chemical Conversion Route

Several chemistry-based conversion programs are already in progress at Lakehead University, and are generally based upon thermochemical reactions. These projects include:

• Dr. Aichen Chen’s biomass conversion of pulp and paper effluents project.

• Dr. Baoqiang Liao’s energy recovery from pulp and paper wastes project.

• Dr. Charles Xu’s bio-fuels and bio-based chemical feedstocks project.
