Submit a ProposalLignocellulosic Biomass Production and Industrial Applications
 | Edited Arindam Kuila and Vinay Sharma Copyright: 2017 | Status: Published ISBN: 9781119323600 | Hardcover | 293 pages Price: $195.00 USD  |
One Line Description
This book covers the utilization of lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production as well as various industrial applications such as in biotechnology, paper and pulp, chemical and bioplastics.
Audience
The book has a diverse audience. It will be particularly useful to scientists and researchers working in the renewable energy sector and lignocellulosic biorefinery application. The book will be also useful to academic researchers and industry engineers in the areas of fermentation technology, bioprocess engineering, enzymology, agricultural biotechnology, chemical and process engineering, bioplastics and polymer science.

Description
Lignocellulosic materials such as agricultural residues (e.g., wheat straw, sugarcane bagasse, corn stover), forest products (hardwood and softwood), and crops such as
switchgrass and salix, are becoming a potent source for generating valuable products.
Lignocellulosic Biomass Production and Industrial Applications describes the utilization of lignocellulosic biomass for various applications. Although there have been numerous reports on lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel application, there have been very few other applications reported for lignocellulosic biomass-based biotechnology, chemicals and polymers. This book covers both application areas. Besides describing the various types of biofuel production, such as bioethanol, biobutanol, biodiesel and biogas from lignocellulosic biomass, it also presents various other lignocellulosic
biomass biorefinery applications for the production of enzymes, chemicals, polymers, paper and bioplastics. In addition, there are chapters on valorization of
lignocellulosic materials, alkali treatment to improve the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of lignocellulosic natural fibers, and a discussion of the major benefits, limitations and future prospects of the use of lignocellulosic biomass.
