(Nano)cellulose production
Producing cellulose building blocks on a micro and nano scale from materials that contain cellulose
Some examples of this are wood, agricultural residues such as straw, waste streams from food production or marine raw materials such as seaweed.
Laboratory spray dryer
The spray dryer efficiently and gently transforms a liquid (solution or suspension) into a dry powder.
The process works by atomizing the liquid into fine droplets, which are then rapidly dried in a stream of hot air. The result is a uniform, stable powder that is easier to store, transport, and use in further research or production. The effect of the drying process on the quality of the product can be studied.
Sani Membrane Separation
The Sani membrane separates particles/polymers based on size. The principle is to create a vibration on the membrane surface, which reduces particle buildup and fouling.
NORCELlab addresses the Research Counsil of Norway’s thematic priority areas “Nanotechnology and advanced materials”, “Bioeconomy”, “Food”, “Health” and “Petroleum” through the applications of the cellulosic building blocks.
NORCELlab is owned by RISE PFI
The laboratory will comprise three categories of infrastructure, all located in the same building (Høgskoleringen 6b, Trondheim): i) production and processing of micro- and nanocelluloses, ii) production of micro- / nanocellulose-based materials and structures and iii) characterization of micro- /
nanocelluloses and structures made thereof.
RISE PFI is part of RISE - Research Institutes of Sweden
