Download or read book Biomass and Waste Conversion and Valorization to Chemicals Energy and Fuels written by José A P Coelho a P Coelho and published by . This book was released on 2024-08-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomass and biowaste are a storehouse of a wide variety of valuable compounds, and their conversion to energy and bioproducts, platform chemicals, biofuels, etc., offer a multifaceted approach to addressing some of the most pressing global challenges, including climate change, waste management, and sustainable development. Efficient and viable biomass valorization, however, requires the introduction of innovative advanced techniques and processes with limited applications of conventional organic solvents. Techniques using green pressurized fluids as solvents and processes like chemical catalysis, biochemical and thermochemical conversion, enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, anaerobic digestion, etc. can transform the biomass into bioactive compounds, bio-oils, and other valuable products. The latter can subsequently be used for the production of pharmaceuticals, food additives and supplements, platform chemicals, biofuels, or materials like biochar, which can find applications as a soil amendment or as a carbon sequestration tool. Embracing such technologies epitomizes the new synergistic approach for the development of holistic zero-waste biorefineries, which are at the nexus between sustainability and circular bioeconomics and will not only reduce environmental impact but also pave the way to a cleaner and more economically resilient future.

Book excerpt: HANDBOOK of BIOMASS VALORIZATION for INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS The handbook provides a comprehensive view of cutting-edge research on biomass valorization, from advanced fabrication methodologies through useful derived materials, to current and potential application sectors. Industrial sectors, such as food, textiles, petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, generate massive amounts of waste each year, the disposal of which has become a major issue worldwide. As a result, implementing a circular economy that employs sustainable practices in waste management is critical for any industry. Moreover, fossil fuels, which are the primary sources of fuel in the transportation sector, are also being rapidly depleted at an alarming rate. Therefore, to combat these global issues without increasing our carbon footprint, we must look for renewable resources to produce chemicals and biomaterials. In that context, agricultural waste materials are gaining popularity as cost-effective and abundantly available alternatives to fossil resources for the production of a variety of value-added products, including renewable fuels, fuel components, and fuel additives.

Download or read book Progressive Thermochemical Biorefining Technologies written by Sonil Nanda and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering the deleterious impacts of fossil fuels on the environmental and natural ecosystems, it has become imperative to make a paradigm shift toward renewable fuels, chemicals, and materials. The exhaustive everyday usage of fossil fuels and processed petrochemical products are the leading causes for the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, climate changes, acid rain, ozone layer depletion, pollution of air, water, and soil as well as for the accumulation of nonbiodegradable materials in the soil and oceans. On the contrary, biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials derived from renewable wastes such as nonedible plant biomass (e.g., agricultural and forestry biomass), energy crops, microalgae, municipal solid waste, sewage sludge, and other biogenic residues seem to be carbon neutral. Therefore, the global interest in biorefining technologies, especially thermochemical and biological conversion processes, is gaining momentum in academic and industrial perspectives. Progressive Thermochemical Biorefining Technologies offers all-inclusive coverage of the most crucial topics as follows: State-of-the-art information on the production and utilization of biofuels through thermochemical biorefining technologies Conversion of waste biomass through pyrolysis, liquefaction, torrefaction, carbonization, gasification, reforming, and other clean technologies Waste-to-energy/chemical generation Fuel upgrading technologies Techno-economic analysis and life-cycle assessment of biorefining processes Specifically designed to be instantly applicable, this volume serves as a reference book for undergraduate and graduate students, scientific investigators, and research scholars working in the areas relating to energy and fuels.
