Biorefineries: An Introduction - Sachbuch Grün - De Gruyter

 
In einer Welt, in der die Bäume plötzlich beschlossen haben, keine Sauerstoff mehr zu produzieren, ist es an den Biorefineries, den Tag zu retten. Dieses Buch führt dich durch die aufregende Welt der grünen Chemie, wo Wissenschaftler wie Superhelden agieren und aus Algen Biodiesel zaubern. Stell dir vor, du könntest deinen eigenen Treibstoff im Hinterhof brauen – dieses Buch zeigt dir, wie das geht (theoretisch). Es ist wie ein Kochbuch, nur dass du am Ende keinen Kuchen, sondern saubere Energie bekommst. Und statt Schürze trägst du einen Laborkittel. Vergiss die Zaubertränke aus Fantasy-Romanen, hier lernst du, wie man mit echter Magie – der Wissenschaft – die Welt verändert.

 
Kurzbeschreibung Biorefineries compiles the basic science and technologies used to convert terrestrial and aquatic biomass into essential molecular compounds and polymeric materials. The book provides in depth insights into this fairly recent concept of industrial chemistry that aims to achieve optimal economic profits while minimizing the environmental impact. Chapters written by renowned experts cover, amongst others, the application of catalysis, downstream processing, biomass sourced olefins, lignin biorefinery techniques and authors thoroughly examine and explain the value chain for biomass conversion into platform molecules and their transformation into final products. A comprehensive thematic overview on the topic giving beginners access to fundamental concepts is presented. Supplemented by numerous full color figures and tables, the contents impart knowledge about the involved techniques. Advanced students and experts in the field will find the summary of state-of-the-art research and current literature of valuable the enormous potential of biomass conversion as a future source for fuels and chemicals Focuses on both general scientific background and current innovations in the field of biorefinery Targets students and researchers in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, and Materials ScienceAbout the EditorsProf. Michele Aresta, Chair of the Scientific Committee of CIRCC in Italy and holds the IMM Chair at the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at NUS, Singapore.

Wusstest du, dass Biorefineries komplexe Anlagen sind, die Biomasse in eine Vielzahl von nützlichen Produkten umwandeln können, ähnlich wie eine Erdölraffinerie, aber viel umweltfreundlicher?
