Deep eutectic solvents represent the newest addition among all
other non-conventional and alternate solvent systems. Deep Eutectic
Solvent Fund Emerging Applications provides detailed insights on
these neoteric solvents, their synthesis methods, types,
physicochemical properties, and sustainable applications in
emerging scientific areas. The book follows a mechanistic approach
on understanding the role of DESs as sustainable media for CO2
capture, biomass pretreatment, as catalysts, as reaction media for
material synthesis, cross coupling reactions, templates for drug
delivery, etc. The book offers a springboard for encouraging vital
discussions and inspiring further innovations in the field of
environmentally benign eutectic solvent systems.
Value-Chain of Biofuels: Fundamentals, Technology, and
Standardization presents the fundamental aspects of biofuel
production, from biomass conversion technologies and biofuels' end
products to related policy regulation and standardization. Sections
explore the current biofuels industry, addressing pretreatment,
feedstocks, and conversion processes, review different pathways to
produce biofuels, including bioethanol, biochar,
biogas/bio-hydrogen, bio-oil, biodiesel, and many others, and
finally, present policy regulation and standardization on biofuel
production, with a focus on applications. Case studies are provided
alongside reviews from academic and industry perspectives,
discussing economics and lifecycle assessments (LCA) of biofuel
production, as well as analyses of supply chains. Offering a
comprehensive and timely overview, this book provides an ideal
reference for researchers and practitioners working in bioenergy
and renewable energy, but it will also be of interest to chemists,
bioengineers, chemical engineers, and the agricultural and
petrochemical industries.
Hydrogen production from biomass such as palm oil wastes is an
attractive option due to its abundance in country such as Malaysia.
Biomass thermal conversion processes such as biomass steam
gasification with in-situ CO2 adsorption shows a great potential
for renewable hydrogen production. Limited research focused on the
utilization of palm waste material in steam gasification. The
coverage is not limited to the design of fluidized bed but also
touches on the unit performance, heat and mass transfer aspects of
fluidized bed. In addition, design of experiment (DOE) is performed
using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in conjunction with
Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) using the Expert Design
Version 8 software. The kinetic parameter evaluation of different
chemical reactions i.e. char gasification, methanation, boudouard,
methane steam reforming, water gas shift and carbonation reactions
in ICA steam gasification is discussed. The book serves as
reference materials for students, engineers and scientists working
in the area of hydrogen production and biomass gasification.
This book reports the latest research and successful industrial
case studies on sustainable technologies in the oil palm industry,
ranging from plantation, processing to waste handling. It covers
the latest developments on harvesting, refining, nanomaterial
production, aviation biofuel, biomass supply chain and waste
treatment and handling. This book is a continuation of a previously
published Springer book 'Green Technologies for the Oil Palm
Industry' and is intended for industrial practitioners and
academics interested in sustainable technologies for palm oil
milling processes.
