{"product_id":"9781119964438","title":"Introduction to Chemicals from Biomass","description":"\u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Chemicals from Biomass\u003c\/i\u003e presents an overview of the use of bioresources in the 21st century for the manufacture of major chemical an material products. The book covers resources, chemical composition, biorefinery concepts, utilization of wastes, extraction technologies, controlled pyrolysis, fermentation and platform molecules and green chemical technologies for their conversion to valuable chemicals.\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended to show that while biomass has biological origins and that biological methods will be an important part of the biorefinery toolkit, biomass is essentially a rich mixture of chemicals and materials that can be extracted for direct use or conversion into other useful products including high value chemicals. When we manipulate biomass we must build on the ideal start for any product lifecycle of a renewable resource, and use green (bio)chemical technologies for transformations to what could be genuinely green and sustainable products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Chemicals from Biomass\u003c\/i\u003e  will prove useful to both academic and industrial scientists involved in process\/industrial chemistry within the areas of biotechnology, chemical engineering, fine and bulk chemical production, agriculture, crop science and energy \u0026amp; power generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe need to bring the chemistry to the biorefinery as well as take the chemicals form the biorefinery - and we must make sure it's all green chemistry!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics covered include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Biorefinery Concept\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Chemical Value of Biomass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreen Chemical Technologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction of Chemicals from Biomass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction of Biomaterials and Biopolymers from Biomass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction of Energy from Biomass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073676034288,"sku":"9781119964438","price":100.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781119964438_p0.jpg?v=1763697555","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781119964438","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
