Green Chemistry for Sustainable Biofuel Production

Herausgeber: Gude, Veera Gnaneswar

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This important volume addresses biofuel feedstock challenges and potential and renewable fuels from carbon sources; process intensification and green chemistry through microwave irradiation, hydrodynamic cavitation, hydrothermal processes, and using ionic liquids; evaluation of nonconventional and emerging sustainable feedstock, such as microalgae, oleaginous microorganisms from wastewater sludge, and biorefinery configurations using bioelectrochemical systems as central technology; and energy-efficiency analyses, techno-economic aspects and life-cycle impacts, and inventories of various biofuel production processes.
