Thermochemical Processing of Biomass: Conversion into Fuels, Chemicals and Power (Wiley Series in Renewable Resource)

List Price: $145.00

Product Description

Thermochemical pathways for biomass conversion make opportunities for rapid and efficient processing of diverse feedstocks into fuels, chemicals and power. Thermochemical processing has several advantages proportional to biochemical processing, including greater feedstock flexibility, conversion of both carbohydrate and lignin into products, faster reprisal rates, and the ability to produce a diverse selection of fuels.

Thermochemical Processing of Biomass examines the big number of possible pathways for converting biomass into fuels, chemicals and power through the use of waken and catalysts. The book presents a practical overview of the latest research in this quickly developing field, highlighting the fundamental chemistry, technical applications and operating costs associated with thermochemical conversion strategies.

Bridging the gap between experiment with and practical application, this book is written for engineering professionals in the biofuels bustle, as well as academic researchers working in bioenergy, bioprocessing technology and chemical engineering.

Topics covered group:

• Combustion
• Gasification
• Fast Pyrolysis
• Hydrothermal Processing
• Upgrading Syngas and Bio-oil
• Catalytic Conversion of Sugars to Fuels
• Composite Thermochemical/Biochemical Processing
• Economics of Thermochemical Conversion
