Book description
In order to successfully compete as a sustainable energy source, the
value of biomass must be maximized through the production of valuable
co-products in the biorefinery. Specialty chemicals and other biobased
products can be extracted from biomass prior to or after the conversion
process, thus increasing the overall profitability and sustainability of
the biorefinery.
Biorefinery Co-Products highlights various co-products that are
present in biomass prior to and after processing, describes strategies
for their extraction , and presents examples of bioenergy feedstocks
that contain high value products.
Topics covered include:
- Bioactive compounds from woody biomass
- Phytochemicals from sugar cane, citrus waste and algae
- Valuable products from corn and other oil seed crops
- Proteins from forages
- Enhancing the value of existing biomass processing streams
Aimed at academic researchers, professionals and specialists in the
bioenergy industry, Biorefinery Co-Products is an essential
text for all scientists and engineers working on the efficient
separation, purification and manufacture of value-added biorefinery co-products.
