Biorefineries Industrial Processes And Products

A sustainable economical growth requires safe resources of raw materials for industrial production. Today's most frequently used industrial raw material, petroleum, is neither sustainable, nor environmentally friendly. Biorefineries combine the necessary technologies of the biological raw materials with those of chemical intermediates and final products.This is the first book dedicated to biorefineries and biobased industrial technologies. This 2-volume set gives a comprehensive survey of technological principles of biorefineries, green processes and plants, current and forthcoming biobased product lines, as well as the economic aspects.From the contents: Background Biorefinery Systems Green Biorefinery Lignocellulose Feedstock Biorefinery Whole Crop Biorefinery Fuel oriented Biorefineries Biobased Feedstocks and Biomass Production Wet and Dry Fractionation Industrial Bioconversion Biobased Product Lines and Product Family Trees Carbohydrate Lines Lignin Lines Protein Lines Biobased Fats and Oils Syngas Platform and Gasification Route Biobased Products and Materials Biobased Basic Chemicals Biobased Polymers and Materials Biobased (Industrial) Economy and Commercialization Biobased Industry and SustainabilityKamm, Birgit is the author of 'Biorefineries Industrial Processes And Products', published 2006 under ISBN 9783527310272 and ISBN 3527310274.
