Thermochemical Processing of Biomass

Beschreibung

Thermochemical pathways for biomass conversion offer opportunitiesfor rapid and efficient processing of diverse feedstocks intofuels, chemicals and power. Thermochemical processing has severaladvantages relative to biochemical processing, including greaterfeedstock flexibility, conversion of both carbohydrate and lignininto products, faster reaction rates, and the ability to produce adiverse selection of fuels. Thermochemical Processing of Biomass examines the largenumber of possible pathways for converting biomass into fuels,chemicals and power through the use of heat and catalysts. The bookpresents a practical overview of the latest research in thisrapidly developing field, highlighting the fundamental chemistry,technical applications and operating costs associated withthermochemical conversion strategies. Bridging the gap between research and practical application,this book is written for engineering professionals in the biofuelsindustry, as well as academic researchers working in bioenergy,bioprocessing technology and chemical engineering. Topics covered include: * Combustion * Gasification * Fast Pyrolysis * Hydrothermal Processing * Upgrading Syngas and Bio-oil * Catalytic Conversion of Sugars to Fuels * Hybrid Thermochemical/Biochemical Processing * Economics of Thermochemical Conversion For more information on the Wiley Series in Renewable Resources,visit www.wiley.com/go/rrs
