Beschreibung:
This volume provides the technical information required for the production of biofuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass. It starts with a brief overview of the importance, applications, and production processes of different lignocellulosic products. Further chapters review the perspectives of waste-based biofuels and biochemicals; the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production; cellulolytic enzyme systems for the hydrolysis of lignocelluloses; and basic and applied aspects of the production of bioethanol, biogas, biohydrogen, and biobutanol from lignocelluloses.
Introduction to lignocellulose-based products.- Perspective of biofuels from wastes.- Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.- Enzymatic hydrolysis technologies for the production of biofuels.- Bioethanol from lignocellulosic wastes: current status and future prospects.- Biogas from lignocellulosic materials.- Biohydrogen from lignocellulosic wastes.- Biobutanol from lignocellulosic wastes.
