7月27日下午，加拿大达尔豪斯大学农学院工程系何佺老师应我校副校长、上海市多相结构材料化学工程重点实验室主任辛忠教授邀请，在徐汇校区作了题为“水和热解生物质废物制备生物油和生物化学品” 的学术报告。辛忠副校长主持了本次报告，教育部“*”、生物工程学院许建和副院长，教育部“*”王辅臣教授听取了报告。九游体育官网部分教师及研究生参与了报告会。

    报告会上，何老师首先介绍了自己的在生物质基油品制备、混合生物质协同作用、木材防腐等方面的研究思路和成果，并就其为当地企业、农民在生物柴油生产、生物质再利用的具体应用进行了举例。何老师首先生动地介绍了目前生物质热解油品的研究现状和方法进行了详细的阐述，大大开拓了与会师生的学术视野。随后，她介绍了其在咖啡渣，玉米杆，树皮和微藻等生物质废物转化方面的研究成果，创造性地提出了通过生物质脂肪含量设计生物油生产路线的新方法，尤其对规模较大的咖啡渣的有效利用，同时其对多种生物质复合协同效应的研究为复杂组分生物质体系的进一步发展提供了理论指导与实验依据，极大地扩展了现有生物质资源循环利用的灵活性和应用范围。

    在交流环节，与会师生与何老师进行了激烈的学术讨论，她对大家提出的问题都进行了详尽的分析和清晰的解答，并与在座从事相关研究的老师未来合作进行了深入的讨论，赢得了大家阵阵掌声。
