Biological Conversion of Biomass for Fuels and Chemicals (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This book covers biomass modification to facilitate the industrial degradation processing of feedstocks and new technologies for the conversion of lignocelluloses into biofuels. It describes recent advances in natural biomass utilization systems such as wood-feeding termites and animals that efficiently degrade lignocellulose substrates. Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) integrates cellulase production and cellulose hydrolysis, with pentose and hexose fermentation in a single step. This replicates what happens in the digestive systems of animals, such as termites and cows. CBP has the potential to reduce production costs and lower capital investment whilst increasing conversion efficiency. The book makes essential reading for academics and industrial groups concerned with overcoming the challenges inherent in the biological conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals.
