Specialty chemicals and other biobased products can be extracted from biomass prior to or after the conversion process, thus incr[...]
This book presents a comprehensive discussion of separation and purification technologies for use in current and future biorefineries. Topics covered include: Part 1 - Introduction and overview of biomass conversion processes.Part 2 - Equilibrium based separation processes including distillation, li[...]
