The book demonstrates that biomass is essentially a rich mixture of chemicals and materials and, as such, has a tremendous potential as feedstock for making a wide range of chemicals and materials with applications in industries from pharmaceuticals to furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompletely revised and updated to reflect recent developments, this new edition begins with an introduction to the biorefinery concept, followed by chapters addressing the various types of available biomass feedstocks, including waste, and the different pre-treatment and processing technologies being developed to turn these feedstocks into platform chemicals, polymers, materials and energy. The book concludes with a discussion on the policies and strategies being put in place for delivering the so-called Bioeconomy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Chemicals from Biomass\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable resource for academics, industrial scientists and policy-makers working in the areas of industrial biotechnology, biorenewables, chemical engineering, fine and bulk chemical production, agriculture technologies, plant science, and energy and power generation.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e We need to reduce our dependence on fossil resources and increasingly derive all the chemicals we take for granted and use in our daily life from biomass – and we must make sure that we do this using green chemistry and sustainable technologies!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor more information on the Wiley Series in Renewable Resources, visit \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.wiley.com\/go\/rrs\"\u003ewww.wiley.com\/go\/rrs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTopics covered include:\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • The biorefinery concept\u003cbr\u003e • Biomass feedstocks\u003cbr\u003e • Pre-treatment technologies\u003cbr\u003e • Platform molecules from renewable resources\u003cbr\u003e • Polymers from bio-based monomers\u003cbr\u003e • Biomaterials\u003cbr\u003e • Bio-based energy production\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Praise for the 1st edition:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Drawing on the expertise of the authors the book involves a degree of plant biology and chemical engineering, which illustrates the multidisciplinary nature of the topic beautifully”\u003c\/i\u003e - Chemistry World\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEditors  \u003cb\u003eJames Clark\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e, Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence, University of York, UK\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eFabien Deswarte\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e, Biorenewables Development Centre, York Science Park, UK\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeries Editor \u003cb\u003e Christian Stevens\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eFaculty of Bioscience Engineering, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 March 2015\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781118714485\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e344\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44384659538060,"sku":"9781118714485","price":95.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781118714485.jpg?v=1780183135","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781118714485","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
