Biochemicals and Materials Production from Sustainable Biomass
Resources provides a detailed overview of the experimentally
developed approaches and strategies that facilitate carbon-based
materials and fine chemicals derivation from biomass feedstocks
with robust catalyst systems and renewed conversion routes. In
addition, the book highlights theoretical methods like
techno-economic analysis of biobutanol synthesis. As academia and
industry are now striving to substitute fossil-based chemicals with
alternative renewable resources, second-generation lignocellulosic
biomass which does not depend on the food cycle has become
increasingly important. Lignocellulosic biomass is composed of
three major polymeric components - lignin, cellulose and
hemicellulose. The polymers can be degraded into monomeric
counterparts through selective conversion routes like hydrolysis of
cellulose to glucose and of hemicellulose to xylose.
Biomass conversion into drop-in chemicals using novel heterogeneous
bulk- and nano-scale catalysts is currently a hot research topic
with the aim of replacing petrochemicals in the chemical industry.
Considering the importance of this subject to the scientific
community, Advanced Catalysis for Drop-in Chemicals provides the
latest developments in the catalytic synthesis of drop-in chemicals
mainly from lignocellulose, carbohydrates (cellulose,
hemicellulose, C6 and C5 sugars, and their derivatives), lignin,
and glycerol. The role of both heterogeneous bulk solid and
nanostructured catalysts, along with their advantages and
disadvantages for drop-in chemicals synthesis are critically
summarized. Addressing the frontiers and prospects for using
drop-in chemicals in place of petrochemicals in the chemical
industry is also a key topic of this book.
Biomass, Biofuels, Biochemicals: Recent Advances in Development of
Platform Chemicals provides a detailed overview on the
experimentally developed methods that facilitate platform chemicals
derivation from biomass-based substrates with robust catalyst
systems. In addition, the book highlights the green chemistry
approach towards platform chemical production. Chapters discuss
platform chemicals and global market volumes, the optimization of
process schemes and reaction parameters with respect to achieving a
high yield of targeted platform chemicals, such as sugars and
furonic compounds by modifying the respective catalytic system, the
influence of solvents on reaction selectivity and product
distribution, and the long-term stability of employed catalysts.
Overall, the objectives of the book are to provide the reader with
an understanding of the societal importance of platform chemicals,
an assessment of the techno-economic viability of biomass
valorization processes, catalyst design for a specific reaction,
and the design of a catalytic system.
This book focuses on cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X),
currently the most promising wireless communication technology for
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I),
Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P), Vehicle-to-Network (V2N) and
Vehicle-to-Cloud (V2C) communications. Because of its low latency
and high reliability, C-V2X has become an essential enabling
technology for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) and
autonomous driving. This book begins by introducing readers to the
research background and status quo of global development. Then,
after analyzing the performance requirements of various V2X
applications, the system architecture and technical standards are
presented. The two evolving stages of C-V2X, i.e., LTE-V2X and
NR-V2X, are introduced in detail. In addition, related technologies
such as mobile edge computing, network slicing and high-precision
positioning, C-V2X security, C-V2X spectrum requirements and
planning, and industrial development and applications are
introduced. In closing, the book discusses future applications of
and technical challenges for C-V2X. This book is the first
monograph dedicated to C-V2X, offering experts, researchers and
engineers from the areas of IT/CT, intelligent transportation,
intelligent and connected vehicles (ICVs) an in-depth understanding
of C-V2X technology and standards, while also outlining related
interdisciplinary research. The book can also be used as a
reference resource for both undergraduate and graduate studies.
The research of modeling and simulation has made great progress
during the past few decades. A number of institutions and scholars
from various domains have proposed different modeling theories and
simulation technologies. Great variety and diversity tools and
commercial software, which are mainly oriented to specific
single-discipline, are rushing out and being applied in their own
fields successfully. Multi-discipline virtual prototype has been
applied in a wide range of engineering applications, especially the
design, testing and evaluation of complex product. The growing
complexity of the product and simulation system, as well as the
user requirement, bring many challenges to modeling and simulation.
This book examines the major theories and methods involved in
modeling, simulation, optimization, evaluation and application of
multi-discipline virtual prototype, based on component oriented
thinking. (Imprint: Nova)
