Industrial biorefineries have been identified as the most promising routes tothe creation of a bio-based economy. Partial biorefineries already exist in some energy crop, forest-based, and lignocellulosic product facilities. Biorefineries: For Biomass Upgrading Facilities examines the variety of different technologies which integrated bio-based industries use to produce chemicals; biofuels; food and feed ingredients; biomaterials; and power from biomass raw materials. Conversion technologies are also covered, since biomass can be converted into useful biofuels and biochemicals via biomass upgrading and biorefinery technologies. Biorefineries: For Biomass Upgrading Facilities will prove a practical resource for chemical engineers, and fuel and environmental engineers. It will also be invaluable in academic fields, providing useful information for both researchers and students. INDICE: Fuels from Biomass.- Biorefinery.- Transportation Fuels.- Biomass Fractionation and Valorization.- Thermochemical Processes.- Biochemical Processes.- Biorefining Economy.- Political Impacts of Biorefinery.- Environmental Impacts of Biorefineries.
