Aresta M. Biorefinery. From Biomass to Chemicals..Fuels 2ed 2022 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

This updated edition presents topical knowledge and technologies for the thermal, chemo- and enzymatic-catalytic conversion of biomass into chemicals, materials and fuels. International experts from academia and industry cover the complete value chain from raw materials into final products. A new focus discusses feedstock, processes and products in potential concepts of future biorefining.
