It also highlights the main\nchallenges and suggests possible ways to make these technologies feasible for the biofuel industry. The\nbiological conversion of cellulosic biomass into bioethanol is based on the\nchemical and biological breakdown of biomass into aqueous sugars, for example\nusing hydrolytic enzymes. The fermentable sugars can then be further processed\ninto ethanol or other advanced biofuels. Pretreatment is required to break down\nthe lignin structure and disrupt the crystalline structure of cellulose so that\nthe acids or enzymes can easily access and hydrolyze the cellulose.\nPre-treatment can be the most expensive process in converting biomass to fuel,\nbut there is great potential for improving the efficiency and lowering costs\nthrough further research and development. This book is aimed at academics and\nindustrial practitioners who are interested in the higher production of ethanol\nfor biofuels.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-03-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789811006869\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-10-0687-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 87\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45228064243852,"sku":"9789811006869","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789811006869.jpg?v=1776520150","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789811006869","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
