+ | <h4>On August 4, 2017, under the guidance of the instructor Sun Yulong, our four members of NPU-China came to | ||
+ | Xi’an Aerospace Sanwo Chemical Co., Ltd., Yanliang District, Xi’an, based on the the theme "acrylic application | ||
+ | and sustainable development”. Company technical leader Gao Jianbin warmly welcomed the arrival of our team, | ||
+ | and then arranged for the visit, together with the Minister Gao Yuan, led us to visit the company's acrylic | ||
+ | adhesive production department. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
− | + | <img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2017/3/34/Gold_%284%29.jpg" class="img-responsive"> | |
− | + | <br> We firstly visited the factory's acrylic adhesive production department. After wearing the white coat | |
− | + | and releasing the body static, we entered the workshop. We were surprised at the inside of the real factory, | |
− | + | having witnessed a series of acrylic products that were only seen on the Internet. Also, we touched and | |
− | + | got to understand the acrylic adhesive reactor on our own; entered the reaction controlling room, which | |
− | + | truly offered us the sense of convenience that technology brings to us. Technical director Gao Jianbin | |
− | + | told us that acrylic and acrylic monomer are together poured into the reactor. By adjusting the temperature, | |
− | + | pressure and other reaction conditions, we can control the output of acrylic adhesive. Entering the production | |
− | + | line on our own enabled us to grasp a better understanding of the operating mechanism and equipment. | |
− | + | <br> | |
− | + | <br> | |
− | + | <img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2017/f/f9/Gold_%288%29.jpg" class="img-responsive"> | |
− | + | <br>It is worthwhile to mention that the company's acrylic adhesive production is up to about 5000t / year, | |
− | + | ranking the leading position in the production of adhesives that are widely used in automotive insulation | |
− | + | film, special tape, electronic protective film and other fields. And the adhesive applied in automotive | |
− | + | insulation film accounts for nearly 60% of the market share, which indicates a broad prospect. | |

− | + | <br> After the visit, the technical leader Gao Jianbin arranged for us to go to the conference room for a deeper | |
− | + | talk. Team leader Wu Zexun briefed on the relevant knowledge of synthesis biology. And introduced to the | |
− | + | company staff about our project --- the biological synthesis of acrylic acid based on the chassis organisms | |
− | + | and glycerol, which appealed much to the company staff and was highly acclaimed. It’s known to us all that | |
− | + | the current acrylic products mainly come from oil-related products, whose high energy consumption, heavy | |
− | + | environmental pollution, lack of sustainability and other shortcomings will all be outshined by the merits | |
− | + | of synthetic biology method. | |

− | + | <br> We are delighted that the leaders Gao Jianbin and Luo Bao and Gao Yuan have offered us a load of inspirational | |
− | + | ideas in practical application and factory operation. Some questions they raised haven’t been taken into | |
− | + | our consideration in terms of economic efficiency and ultimate products. They suggested that, in addition | |
− | + | to the points of green and sustainable development, we could also clarify the superiority of our project | |
− | + | from the security aspect, which is the fundament of an enterprise. We were marveled that if we didn’t enter | |
− | + | the factory in person, it would be almost impossible for us to explore more superiorities of our project. | |

− | + | Internet or from books. Technical director Gao Jianbin also told us that acrylic acid is exceedingly broadly | |
− | + | applied ranging from the phone scratch-resistant screen to the aircraft paint, according us with a more | |
− | + | profound understanding of the application of acrylic acid. | |

− | + | Abstract | |
− | + | </h3> | |
− | + | <h4> | |
− | + | In the past 100 years, the rapid development of traditional chemical industry has greatly enhanced the quality of life of | |
− | + | people. However, the pollution and destruction brought by the chemical industry are also devastating our | |
− | + | planet. The emergence of synthetic biology helps to provide us with a new solution; we can introduce new | |
− | + | chemical reactions into biological cells, thus getting high-quality chemical products in a greener way. | |
− | + | <br> Whether it is a breakthrough in new technology or the pressure from the reality of environment, more and | |
− | + | more people are coming to the belief that in the near future, green biological cell factory will have to | |
− | + | replace the existing chemical industry. | |
− | + | <br> In terms of environmental safety, cell factories have a natural advantage over traditional chemical ones, | |
− | + | but they are also facing new problems. The potential biosecurity of the cell factory, especially the transgenic | |
− | + | safety problem, can bring to the environment more irreversible safety risks. | |
− | + | <br> Therefore, the following problems deserves our careful consideration. | |
− | + | <br> 1.Do the existing laws and regulations touch on the specific provisions regarding the biosafety of biological | |
− | + | manufacturing factories (biological pharmaceutical factories, chemical factories, etc.), especially the | |
− | + | prevention of genetic pollution? What are the differences in the standards of several major countries or | |
− | + | regions? | |
− | + | <br> | |
− | + | <br> 2.Have the previous iGEM teams conducted corresponding researches on this aspect? | |
− | + | <br> | |
− | + | <br> 3.How are the existing biotech companies taking action on biogenetic safety? What is the current solution? | |
− | + | Are there any drawbacks? | |
− | + | <br> | |
− | + | <br> 4.As for the future cell factories, is there a better safety measure to boost the protection against biological | |
− | + | genetic safety problems? And should the government have more specific mandatory requirements to help control | |
− | + | the biosafety risks of the future cell factories? | |
− | + | <br> | |
− | + | <br> In view of the above genetic problems of cell factories, our team and SCUT-China (team name to be confirmed) | |
− | + | together made the investigation from the following aspects: | |
− | + | <br> | |
− | + | <br> 1.Corresponding laws and regulations regarding biosafety worldwide. | |
− | + | <br> | |
− | + | <br> 2.The main technical solution of the sewage treatment in chemical plants. | |
− | + | <br> | |
− | + | <br> 3.The level of understanding of biosafety concerning cell factories of the previous iGEM teams. | |
− | + | <br> | |
− | + | <br> On the basis of our research, we have also proposed solutions that we consider viable, and we will organize | |
− | + | these results into reports so that we will be able to deepen our understanding of the future biosafety | |
− | + | of cell factories and hope to provide a certain reference to the future cell factory designers or supervisors. | |
