Practical Short Course
on Fats and Oils as Renewable Feedstock
for the Chemical Industry
28-29 March 2015, Karlsruhe, Germany
Invitation
Fats and oils have ever been the most important renewable resources for the chemical industry. The short course will show the state of the
art in and introduce in actual developments in oleochemistry. The topics range from plant breeding and oil processing to biochemical and chemical
transformations to various groups of products like detergents and polymers. Also included is the utilization of glycerol and the present state and perspectives of biodiesel.
Ample time for discussion will be used for the elucidation of future trends, bottlenecks and individual questions and ideas of the participants.
Fats and oils as renewable resources are daily business in many chemical companies and their future potential is even bigger. However,
oleochemistry is rarely treated adequately in university courses in chemistry, chemical engineering or biotechnology.
Therefore, the short course aims especially at chemists and other scientists who encounter oleochemistry for the first time in their career.
It is also well suited for scientists in governmental or research institutions and for post graduates, who want to enhance their
knowledge of fats and oils as renewable resources for the chemical industry.
Finally, the short course is the ideal background for first-time participants of the "
8th Workshop on Fats and Oils as Renewable Feedstock for the
Chemical Industry" which is starting immediately after the short course in Karlsruhe.
Recommended prerequisites: Basic organic chemistry
