Description for Biological Conversion of Biomass for Fuels and Chemicals
Hardcover. This book covers biomass modification to facilitate the industrial degradation processing and other characteristics of feedstocks and new technologies for the conversion of lignocelluloses into biofuels and other products. Editor(s): Sun, Jianzhong; Ding, Shi-You; Peterson, Joy D. Series Editor(s): Peter, Laurie; Frei, Heinz; Schuth, Ferdi; Zhao, Tim S. Series: Energy and Environment Series. Num Pages: 407 pages, 89 black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: PNF; THX; TQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 240 x 163 x 29. Weight in Grams: 786.
This book is divided into two parts. The first covers biomass modification to facilitate the industrial degradation processing and other characteristics of feedstocks. These include reduction in the general recalcitrance of plant cell wall and downstream processing costs. The second focuses on cutting edge technologies for the conversion of lignocelluloses into biofuels and other products. It describes the most up-to-date advances in natural biomass utilization systems, such as wood-feeding termites and animals that efficiently degrade lignocellulosic substrates. Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) integrates cellulase production and cellulose hydrolysis, with pentose and hexose fermentation in a single step. This replicates what happens in ... Read more
