Advances in Biorefineries

This book provides a comprehensive and systematic reference on the range of biomass and waste recovery and conversion processes and technology applicable within biorefineries. The initial sections review the market, industrial and research background to the development of biorefineries, before review the development of the main biorefining processing techniques and technologies. This coverage is extended with further sections focussing on advanced biofuels/energy production and chemical, materials and high value product output streams. The final section rounds off the book with reviews of a range of different biorefinery platforms, including cereal-, food-waste-, and agricultural-residue-based biorefineries.
