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 ultrasound and microwave 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 Ultrasound" and
"Production of Biofuels and Chemicals with Microwave" 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 "Ultrasound" provides current research advances and
prospects in mechanistic principles of acoustic cavitation in
sonochemistry, physical and chemical mechanisms in biofuel
synthesis, reactor design for transesterification and
esterification reactions, lipid extraction from algal biomass,
microalgae extraction, biodiesel and bioethanol synthesis,
practical technologies and systems, pretreatment of biomass waste
sources including lignocellulosic materials, manures and sludges
for biogas production, vibration-assisted pelleting, combined
chemical-mechanical methods, valorization of starch-based wastes
and techno-economic methodology. 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 "Ultrasound"
and "Microwave" 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.
