Biorefineries - Industrial Processes and Products: Status Quo and Future Directions [Repost]

A sustainable economical growth requires safe resources of raw materials for industrial production. Today's most frequently used industrial raw material, petroleum, is neither sustainable, nor environmentally friendly. Biorefineries combine the necessary technologies of the biological raw materials with those of chemical intermediates and final products.
This is the first book dedicated to biorefineries and biobased industrial technologies. This 2-volume set gives a comprehensive survey of technological principles of biorefineries, green processes and plants, current and forthcoming biobased product lines, as well as the economic aspects.
