Klappentext Focuses on the conversion of biomass into gas or liquid fuels covering physical pre-treatment technologies, thermal, chemical and biochemical conversion technologies Most biomass energy is currently obtained by burning the biomaterial directly. Some of the common biomaterials used this way are wood, charcoal, sawdust, garbage etc. Biomass as a Sustainable Energy Source for the Future is not mainly concerned in using biomass directly, but rather converting it into gas, liquid or solid fuels in such a way that it is sustainable and non-polluting. Biomass as a Sustainable Energy Source for the Future scope is not limited to one class of conversion technologies, as regularly seen in other books, but covers the current development and research of the key areas in biomass conversion such as: physical pre-treatment technologies, thermal, chemical and biochemical conversion technologies. Through contributions from leading experts in diverse fields, Biomass as a Sustainable Energy Source for the Future features: - The latest biomass characterization techniques - Diochemical and thermochemical conversion processes - The development of integrated biorefineries covering such topics as reactor configurations and downstream processing - How to mitigate the environmental risks when using biomass as fuel - Includes many problems, small projects, sample calculations and industrial application examples In addition this book discusses the development of integrated biorefineries, which are similar to petroleum refineries in concept, covering such topics as reactor configurations and downstream processing. The main difference between a petroleum refinery and a biorefinery is that the biorefinery uses biological matter as opposed to petroleum or other fossil sources to produce transportation fuels, chemicals, heat and power.
