Pyrolysis of Biomass

With the development of societies fossil energy is no longer the only energy resource, and increasing attention had been paid to alternative energy. Biomass is considered to be one of the alternatives due to efficiency and low cost. This book presents biomass pyrolysis behavior for three main components: Cellulose, Hemicellulose and Lignin, and discusses the influence of mineral salts, zeolite catalysts and metal oxide on their pyrolysis.

"The book is suitable for all readers who primarily want to gain access to the chemical process of pyrolysis of biomass. This is the special value of this volume, with which he clearly sets himself apart from other monographs. This can be both beginners in the subject, but also professionals who want to get a deeper insight into the chemical reaction process of pyrolysis of lignocellulose and its constituents." - N.
