Conversion of biomass into chemicals and biofuels is an active
research and development area as trends move to replace traditional
fossil fuels with renewable resources. By integrating processing
methods with microwave and ultrasound irradiation into
biorefineries, the time-scale of many operations can be greatly
reduced while the efficiency of the reactions can be remarkably
increased so that process intensification can be achieved.
"Production of Biofuels and Chemicals with Microwave" and
"Production of Biofuels and Chemicals with Ultrasound" are two
independent volumes in the Biofuels and Biorefineries series that
take different, but complementary approaches for the pretreatment
and chemical transformation of biomass into chemicals and biofuels.
The volume "Microwave" provides current research advances and
prospects in theoretical and practical aspects of microwave
irradiation including properties, effects and temperature
monitoring, design of chemical reactors, synergistic effects on
combining microwave, ultrasound, hydrodynamic cavitation and
high-shear mixing into processes, chemical and catalytic conversion
of lignin into chemicals, pyrolysis and gasification, syngas
production from wastes, platform chemicals, algal biodiesel,
cellulose-based nanocomposites, lignocellulosic biomass
pretreatment, green chemistry metrics and energy consumption and
techno-economic analysis for a catalytic pyrolysis facility that
processes pellets into aromatics. Each of the 12 chapters has been
peer-reviewed and edited to improve both the quality of the text
and the scope and coverage of the topics. Both volumes "Microwave"
and "Ultrasound" are references designed for students, researchers,
academicians and industrialists in the fields of chemistry and
chemical engineering and include introductory chapters to highlight
present concepts of the fundamental technologies and their
application. Dr. Zhen Fang is Professor in Bioenergy, Leader and
founder of biomass group, Chinese Academy of Sciences,
Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and is also adjunct
Professor of Life Sciences, University of Science and Technology of
China. Dr. Richard L Smith, Jr. is Professor of Chemical
Engineering, Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Research
Center of Supercritical Fluid Technology, Tohoku University, Japan.
Dr. Xinhua Qi is Professor of Environmental Science, Nankai
University, China.
