This invaluable book provides a broad and detailed introduction to the fascinating and hot research subject of transformation of biomass-related materials to biofuels. Biofuel production can be categorized into a variety of novel conversion and refinery development technologies. However, biomass recalcitrance is the biggest challenge blocking the way in biofuel conversion. This book provides an enlightening view of the frontiers in leading pretreatments, downstream enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation technology, corrosion issues in biofuel and merging biofuels technology into a pulp mill to pave the way for future large-scale biofuel production.

Contents:

  • What is Biomass (Fang Huang)
  • Biomass Recalcitrance and the Contributing Cell Wall Factors (Marcus Foston)
  • Reduction of Biomass Recalcitrance via Water/Acid Pretreatments (Fan Hu)
  • Reduction of Biomass Recalcitrance via Organosolv Pretreatments (Xianzhi Meng)
  • Reduction of Biomass Recalcitrance via Ionic Liquid Pretreatments (Alistair W T King, Haibo Xie, Juha Fiskari and Ilkka Kilpeläinen)
  • Enzymatic Deconstruction of Lignocellulose to Fermentable Sugars (Qining Sun)
  • Fermentation to Bioethanol/Biobutanol (Tao Ma, Matyas Kosa and Qining Sun)
  • Pyrolysis of Biomass to Bio-Oils (Haoxi Ben)
  • Upgrade of Bio-Oil to Bio-Fuel and Bio-Chemical (Haoxi Ben)
  • Corrosion Issues in Biofuels (Lindsey R Goodman and Preet M Singh)
  • Incorporation of Biofuels Technology into a Pulp Mill (Marko Hakovirta)
  • Integrated Possibilities of Producing Biofuels in Chemical Pulping (Raimo Alén)

Readership: Scientists and researchers who are interested in the study of materials and environmental science.
Key Features:

  • Detailed description of the key challenge: recalcitrance in biomass conversion into biofuel
  • Interpreting leading bioconversion technologies and in-depth reaction mechanism to resolve this issue
  • Providing broad and practical technologies in large-scale biofuel production
