With its focus on catalysis and addressing two very hot and timely topics with significant implications for our future lives, this will be a white book in the field.
The authority behind this practical work is the IDECAT Network of Excellence, and the authors here outline how the use of catalysis will promote the more extensive use of renewable feedstocks in chemical and energy production.
From the contents:
∗ Biomass Conversion
∗ Process Options
∗ Biobased Oleochemicals
∗ Fine Chemicals from Renewables
∗ Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass into Fuels
∗ Thermal Biomass Conversion
∗ Bioethanol
∗ Conversion of Glycerol to Traffic Fuels
∗ Catalytic Process for the Selective Epoxidation of Fatty Acids
∗ Integration of Biocatalysis with Chemocatalysis
∗ Hydrogen Production and Fuel Cells
∗ Pathways to Clean and Green Hydrogen
∗ Solar Energy as a Source of Hydrogen and for CO2 Conversion
With its presentation of the latest applications, their applicability and results, this is a ready reference for researchers and engineers working in catalysis, chemistry, and industrial processes wishing to analyze the options, outlooks and opportunities in the field.
