The 4th Thailand Biorefinery Symposium (TBioS-4)
13 - 14 June 2024
Pullman Khon Kaen Raja Orchid
Khon Kaen, Thailand
About the conference:
The Thailand Biorefinery Symposium (TBioS) aims to bring together researchers and professionals to share their experience and knowledge on thermochemical and biochemical conversion approaches. The conference provides an interdisciplinary platform for material science professionals, researchers, academicians, and industrial practitioners to present and discuss the recent developments and innovations in the field, opportunities, and practical challenges, solutions adopted, etc, in the field of biofuels and applications in various sectors.
The 1st TBioS was organized by Suranaree University of Technology, 111 University Avenue, Muang District, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, in July 2019.
The 2nd TBioS has been continued as a 1-day workshop at Suranaree University of Technology, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, in 2022.
The 3rd TBioS, in conjunction with the 12th International Symposium Nano & Supramolecular Chemistry (ISNSC-12), Chiang Mai hosted by PETROMAT, Chulalongkorn University, and the Faculty of Science and Technology, Thammasat University, in 2023.
The 4th TbioS is jointly organized by Khon Kaen University, Thammasat University, Suranaree University of Technology, King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok, Rangsit University, Chulalongkorn University, and Burapha University, Thailand.
The TBioS-4 will be held in an ONSITE MODE.
The TBioS-4 will cover broad topics as follows:
Session 1 Thermochemical conversion approach
Thermo- and chemical catalytic process in the valorization of biomass such as lignin and carbohydrates for sustainable and chemical

Conference Chair and Lead:
Assoc. Prof. Kitirote Wantala is working as Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Khon Kaen University, Thailand
Dr. Kitirote Wantala received his Ph.D. (Chemical Engineering) from Thammasat University (TU), Thailand in 2010. He subsequently entered lecturer of Chemical Engineering department, Faculty of Engineering, Khon Kaen University in 2011 and led a group on Environmental Catalysis named “Chemical Kinetics and Applied Catalysis Laboratory, CKCL KKU”.
Dr. Wantala’s current researches focus on Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) such as photocatalysis, Fenton-like, electro-Fenton, Heavy metal adsorption process, Catalysis technology, Environmental catalysis, and Nano-material synthesis. In addition, He also focus on Bio-Fuel production by pyrolytic catalysis especially basic catalyst prepared from wastes. He has published over 80 articles as an author or co-author in peer-reviewed journals (SCOPUS database). Lead:
