Woodhead Publishing Biofuels Production from Lignocellulosic Materials (Woodhead Series in Bioenergy)

Biofuels Production from Lignocellulosic Materials presents the latest scientific and technical advances in the bioprocessing of lignocellulosic materials for disposal, resource recovery, and biofuel and bioenergy production. The book emphasizes the main chemical and biological properties of lignocellulosic materials, its pre-treatment, emerging nutrient recovery technologies, the role of microbial biotechnology in lignocellulosic materials management, and the sustainable use of biofuel for anthropogenic activities to fulfil energy demand. Lignocellulose biorefinery outcomes are examined from multiple perspectives, including applied chemical, mechanical, and enzymatic pre-treatments technologies, and cost-effective and energy-efficient options for developing high value-added products. This is a valuable reference for scientists, researchers, engineers, and industrial practitioners, as well as graduate and postgraduate students working on the utilization of lignocellulosic materials. Explores sustainable resource recovery and utilization of lignocellulosic materials for technology development within organic waste recycling and disposal Critically discusses the development of industrial sustainable bioprocessing of lignocellulosic materials and market demand of bioenergy and biofuel production Examines industrial applications of biological and thermochemical lignocellulosic materials recycling towards emerging nutrient recovery technologies
