*LORRE January Safety Issue* 01/25/2016 To all: We appreciate all of your effort and successful completion of last year's safety program. In the new school year, we will continue to push on. Please keep up the good work and pay attention to this month's safety issue. *_Review of Lab Safety Rules_**__* 1.Report all accidents, injuries immediately and fill out the First Report of Injury (FROI) Form. 2.Leave your work station clean and in good order before leaving the laboratory. 3.Safely operate the autoclave and centrifuges. 4.Properly treat biological waste and chemical waste. *_Work Area Organization_**__* We have had many new teams join us to work in the lab. To avoid crowding, please follow the below arrangement: *Advisor* *Team* *Number* *Work Location* Prof. Mosier, Nathan Soybean Competition Team Yi Wen Lanchen Wu Yumeng Zhao Lingyu Yang Lab. #233 Prof. Ladisch, Michael Soybean Competition Team David Rokhinson Aalok Gaitonde Racuel Lucas Vikran Goyal Lab. #359 Prof. Abigail Engelberth Soybean Competition Team -27 Aubree Anton Elizabeth Ziga Lab. #333 Prof. Ladisch, Michael Soybean Competition Team -21 Chelsea Sullivan Michelle (Micky) Creech Lab. #233 Prof. Mosier,Nathan Soybean Competition Team 15 Xuan Luo Andrew Cameron Harehit Kapoor Lab. #336 Dr. Kilaz,Gozdem Dr. Necla's Team Oskar J Kane Linfeng Jin Lab.#333 and Lab#336 **Note: Other all research projects keep previous work locations.* *__* *_Equipment safety_* If you borrow any lab machines or equipment, please make sure to return it. If you move it from its original location, please let us know. Doing so will help Purdue property scrutiny, expedite the physical inventory, and maintain equipment safety. Thanks, LORRE Safety Committee

LORRE Seminar: June 21, 2016: Neal Hengge

The seminar will be at 3:00pm June 21 in the Fu Room (POTR 234). Enzymatic Liquefaction of Untreated Corn Stover Neal Hengge There is an ever increasing need for renewable alternatives to fossil fuels derived from petroleum. This makes feedstocks in the form of lignocellulosic biomass attractive substrates for the production of ethanol and value added chemicals. However, the economics of converting lignocellulosic materials involve high processing costs attributed with pretreatment of the biomass and the use of enzymes for saccharification. Corn stover was obtained for the examination of an upstream processing step to transform the material into a pumpable slurry for subsequent pretreatment and saccharification. Biomass liquefaction was carried out using a specific enzyme cocktail at 50°C with a mixing speed of 290 RPM using a dual-impeller design. Solids were added in a fed-batch manner over a course of 8 hours to reach a final solids concentration of 150 g/L. Slurry viscosity was analyzed in real time to determine the flowability of the mixture. Minor changes to the particle size distribution were observed as liquefaction proceeded. When pretreatment of liquefied material was carried out, an increase in glucose formation was seen over raw, pretreated corn stover. Total glucose formation after pretreatment and enzyme hydrolysis was higher for liquefied material than raw material. Please email me your seminar title, and abstract!
