Biomass Preprocessing and Pretreatments for Production of BiofuelsMechanical, Chemical and Thermal Methods\nAuthor(s): Jaya Shankar Tumuluru\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Inc, United States\nImprint: CRC Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9781498765473, 978-1498765473\nSynopsis\nEngineering the physical, chemical, and energy properties of lignocellulosic biomass is important to produce high-quality consistent feedstocks with reduced variability for biofuels production. The emphasis of this book will be the beneficial impacts that mechanical, chemical, and thermal preprocessing methods can have on lignocellulosic biomass quality attributes or specifications for solid and liquid biofuels and biopower production technologies. \""Preprocessing\"" refers to treatments that can occur at a distance from conversion and result in an intermediate with added value, with improved conversion performance and efficiency.\n\nThis book explores the effects of mechanical, chemical, and thermal pre.
