This book explores the use of biomass as an energy source and its
application in energy conversion technologies. Focusing on the
challenges of, and technologies related to, biomass conversion, the
book is divided into three parts. The first part underlines the
fundamental concepts that form the basis of biomass production, its
feasibility valuation, and its potential utilization. This part
does not consider only how biomass is generated, but also methods
of assessment. The second part focuses on the clarification of
central concepts of the biorefinery processes. After a preliminary
introduction with industrial examples, common issues of biochemical
reaction engineering applications are analysed in detail. The
theory explained in this part demonstrates that the chemical
kinetics are the core focus in modelling biological processes such
as growth, decay, product formation and feedstock consumption. This
part continues with the theory of biofuels production, including
biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of
hydrocarbons. The third part of this book gives detailed
explanations of preliminary notions related to the theory of
thermodynamics. This theory will assist the reader when taking into
account the concepts treated in the previous two parts of the book.
Several detailed derivations are given to give the reader a full
understanding of the arguments at hand. This part also gives
literature data on the main properties of some biomass feedstock.
Fundamentals of Biofuels Engineering and Technology will be of
interest not only to academics and researchers working in this
field but also to graduate students and energy professionals
seeking to expand their knowledge of this increasingly important
area.
