Materials, Chemicals and Energy from Forest Biomass

Zusatztext This ACS volume will provide a resource for new ideas! guidance! and a good embarkation point for any future endeavors in materials! chemicals! and energy from forest biomass... If you want to understand likely and promising future endeavors in materials! chemicals! and energy from forest biomass and what it implies for the coming years! this book is an unparalleled introduction and resource and it is therefore an important part of the armamentarium of every oneinvolved in biomass and all it implies for the future Klappentext This book will explore our forests as the most readily available and renewable source of carbon as well as the building block of chemicals, plastics, and pharmaceuticals as the next 100 years gradually push consumers toward alternate sources of chemicals. Meeting these needs from trees requires that new chemistry be developed so that plant materials is converted to commodity chemicals. This focused discussion on ongoing global efforts at creativity using forest andbiomass based renewable materials will include six different mechanisms for bringing about change on this very innovative topic.
