This book deals with the application of techniques and methods of
chemical analysis for the study of biomass and its conversion
processes, aiming to fill the current gap in the book literature on
the subject. The use of various techniques and analytical methods
is presented and discussed in a straightforward manner, providing
the reader with the possibility of choosing the most appropriate
methodologies for analysis of the major classes of plant biomass
and its products. In the present volume, a select group of
international specialists describes different approaches to
understand the biomass structure, their physical and chemical
properties, the parameters of conversion processes, the products
and by-products formation and quantification, quality parameters,
etc. Modern chemistry plays a strong economic role in industrial
activities based on biomass, with an increasing trend of the
importance of its application from the deployment of biorefineries
and the principles of green chemistry, which make use of the
potential of biomass with decreasing impact negative environmental.
In this context, analytical chemistry can contribute significantly
to the supply chains of biomass, be it plant or animal origin;
however, with the first offering the greatest challenges and the
greatest opportunity for technical, scientific and economic
progress, given its diversified chemical constitution. Thus, the
chemical analysis can be used to examine the composition for
characterizing physicochemical properties and to monitor their
conversion processes, in order to obtain better products and uses
of biomass. The quality of the biomass used determines the product
quality. Therefore, reliable information is required about the
chemical composition of the biomass to establish the best use
(e.g., most suitable conversion process and its conditions), which
will influence harvest and preparation steps. Conversion processes
should be monitored for their yield, integrity, safety, and
environmental impact. Effluent or residues should be monitored and
analyzed for environmental control. Co-products need to be
monitored to avoid interference with the product yield and product
purity; however, co-products are also a good opportunity to add
value to the biomass chain. Finally, products need to be monitored
and analyzed to determine their yields and purity and to ensure
their quality. In this context, analytical chemistry can contribute
significantly to the biomass supply chains, be it of plant or
animal origin.
