This book covers different types of available lignocellulosic biomasses, their sources, characterization methodologies, and pre-treatment techniques to isolate lignin for making cellulose and hemicellulose available for saccharification to glucose including examples and case studies.
This book covers various types of lignocellulosic biomass, their sources, characterization methods, and pretreatment techniques for isolating lignin, thereby making cellulose and hemicellulose available for saccharification to glucose. In addition, it includes examples and case studies, as well as various methods for producing biofuels and value-added products from biomass. The book delves into modern separation processes, such as membrane technology, which facilitate sugar concentration, enzyme recycling, higher bioethanol yields, and the treatment of bioprocess effluent.
Features:
This book is aimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students in bioprocessing, chemical engineering and biotechnology.
