Engineering the physical, chemical, and energy properties of
lignocellulosic biomass is important to produce high-quality
consistent feedstocks with reduced variability for biofuels
production. The emphasis of this book will be the beneficial
impacts that mechanical, chemical, and thermal preprocessing
methods can have on lignocellulosic biomass quality attributes or
specifications for solid and liquid biofuels and biopower
production technologies. "Preprocessing" refers to treatments that
can occur at a distance from conversion and result in an
intermediate with added value, with improved conversion performance
and efficiency. This book explores the effects of mechanical,
chemical, and thermal preprocessing methods on lignocellulosic
biomass physical properties and chemical composition and their
suitability for biofuels production. For example, biomass
mechanical preprocessing methods like size reduction (which impacts
the particle size and distribution) and densification (density and
size and shape) are important for feedstocks to meet the quality
requirements for both biochemical and thermochemical conversion
methods like enzymatic conversion, gasification, and pyrolysis
process. Thermal preprocessing methods like drying, deep drying,
torrefaction, steam explosion, hydrothermal carbonization, and
hydrothermal liquefaction effect feedstock's proximate, ultimate
and energy property, making biomass suitable for both solid and
liquid fuel production. Chemical preprocessing which includes
washing, leaching, acid, alkali, and ammonia fiber explosion that
can enable biochemical composition, such as modification of lignin
and hemicellulose, and impacts the enzymatic conversion application
for liquid fuels production. This book also explores the
integration of these preprocessing technologies to achieve desired
lignocellulosic biomass quality attributes for biofuels production.
