Description
CRC Press Biomass Preprocessing And Pretreatments For Production Of Biofuels by Jaya Shankar Tumuluru
Engineering the physical, chemical, and energy properties of lignocellulosic biomass is important to produce high-quality consistent feedstocks with reduced variability for biofuels production. The emphasis of this book will be the beneficial impacts that mechanical, chemical, and thermal preprocessing methods can have on lignocellulosic biomass quality attributes or specifications for solid and liquid biofuels and biopower production technologies. Preprocessing refers to treatments that can occur at a distance from conversion and result in an intermediate with added value, with improved conversion performance and efficiency.
