Pre-treatment Methods of Lignocellulosic Biomass for Biofuel ProductionAuthor(s): Shyamal Roy\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781032066929, 978-1032066929\nSynopsis\nBioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuel is materially obstructed by the compositional and chemical complexity of biomaterials, resulting in a challenge in using these as raw materials for the biofuel production process. This book explains various lignocellulosic biomass pre-treatment methods with emphasis on concepts, practicability, mechanisms of action, and advantages and disadvantages and potential for industrial applications. It also highlights the main challenges and suggests possible ways to make these pre-treatment technologies feasible for the biofuel industry.\n\nFeatures\n\nPresents different pre-treatment technologies available for lignocellulosic biomass in a concise manner.\nCovers use of different pre-treatment methods in labo.
