Biofuels and Biorefining: Volume One: Current Technologies for Biomass Conversionconsiders the conventional processes for biofuels and biomass-derived products in single and biorefinery schemes. Sections address the fundamentals of the transformation of biomass into fuels and products, including a discussion of current and future scenarios, potential raw materials that can be used, the main processing technologies and their commercial potential, and a description of the concept of biorefinery and the opportunities offered by this approach. Each chapter is supported by industry case studies covering the development of each product, fuel type, and biorefinery. This book provides an integrated approach to biofuels production and process intensification that will be useful to researchers involved in all aspects of bioenergy, particularly those interested in cost reduction, environmental impact and enhanced production. Includes all fundamental concepts related to the production of biofuels and value-added products from biomassProvides a comprehensive biorefinery scheme that addresses all biofuel types (liquid, solid and gaseous) and related bio-based productsPresents state-of-the-art information on production processesCovers all required information for the modeling and economical assessment of biofuels production in single process or under a biorefinery scheme | Biofuels and Biorefining by Fernando Israel Gomez Castro, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
