Introduction to Biomass Energy Conversions

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Designed primarily for students taking a senior or first-year graduate bioenergy course, this textbook has a full range of learning features and instructor resources. It examines complete characterization for biomass for both the biochemical and thermochemical conversion processes and discusses individual conversion processes such as biodiesel, bioethanol, and biogas production. The book also covers liquid fuel production from biomass, as well as economics, environmental, and sustainability issues. It includes problems, case studies, and real-world examples using actual data from biomass research.
