This book includes 19 chapters contributed by the world's leading
experts on pretreatment methods for biomass. It extensively covers
the different types of biomass (e.g. molasses, sugar beet pulp,
cheese whey, sugarcane residues, palm waste, vegetable oil, straws,
stalks and wood), various pretreatment approaches (e.g. physical,
thermal, chemical, physicochemical and biological) and methods that
show the subsequent production of biofuels and chemicals such as
sugars, ethanol, extracellular polysaccharides, biodiesel, gas and
oil. In addition to traditional methods such as steam, hot-water,
hydrothermal, diluted-acid, organosolv, ozonolysis, sulfite,
milling, fungal and bacterial, microwave, ultrasonic, plasma,
torrefaction, pelletization, gasification (including biogas) and
liquefaction pretreatments, it also introduces and discusses novel
techniques such as nano and solid catalysts, organic electrolyte
solutions and ionic liquids. This book offers a review of
state-of-the-art research and provides guidance for the future
paths of developing pretreatment techniques of biomass for
biofuels, especially in the fields of biotechnology, microbiology,
chemistry, materials science and engineering. It intends to provide
a systematic introduction of pretreatment techniques. It is an
accessible reference work for students, researchers, academicians
and industrialists in biorefineries. Zhen Fang is a Professor of
Bioenergy and the leader and founder of the biomass group at the
Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of
Sciences. He is also an adjunct full Professor of Life Sciences at
the University of Science and Technology of China.
