Objective
The olive oil industry is a major activity in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean basin, which produces 95% of the world olive oil, 2.4 Mt, and 30 Mt of solid/liquid residues, "alpeorujo". The project will develop new processes to valorise the alpeorujo in the biopolymer and fine chemical industries. The lignin and cellulose contained in the solid residue "Trujillo" will be transformed by liquefaction into new polymer components for polyurethane/phenoplaste polymers and will replace the polio/phenol components issued from the neurochemistry. The fats contained in the liquid residue "alp chin" will be extracted by a vegetal adsorbent made with hydrophone Trujillo and other vegetal fibbers. This process should allow the recovery of fine chemical products from the fats for further valorisation in the pharmacology.
