9780751403503: Developments in Thermochemical Biomass Conversion: Volume 1 / Volume 2

Synopsis

There have been many developments in the science and technology of thermochemical biomass conversions in recent years, especially as concern over the greenhouse and other environmental problems grow. Thermal processing provides an efficient, environmentally acceptable and potential cost effective method of providing liquid and gaseous fuels and electricity; and, in the longer term, speciality and commodity chemicals and transport fuels This book covers all aspects of thermochemical biomass conversion systems and is divided into five main areas covering pyrolysis, pretreatment, gasification, combustion and system studies. All contributions have been subject to a full peer review process. This is a topical and comprehensive resource on the majority of research, development, demonstration and commercial activities in thermal biomass conversion throughout the world.
