Thermochemical Conversion of Biofuels from Biomass Feedstock and Solid Waste: Production and Pollutant Control

Thermochemical Conversion of Biofuels from Biomass Feedstock and Solid Waste: Production and Pollutant Control will offer a comprehensive summary of the state of the art in biofuel production with a special focus on pollutants control, which is both necessary and beneficial to the target audience and the development of this research field. Biofuel is currently a major trend due to the existing environmental crises as well as global energy challenges. Developing renewable and sustainable fuels from biomass and solid wastes and minimizing the formation of pollutants during the conversion process are currently of a great deal of academic and indusial importance and draws widespread attention. Novel processes, reactions, and catalysts are being rapidly developed, information gathering and integration of which would be beneficial to the audience to stay up to date. In addition, studies on the formation and transformation of pollutants such as heavy metals, chlorine, and Sulphur species during the process are usually conducted by researchers in the discipline of environmental engineering and are less known to bioenergy researchers. In this regard, this book will serve as a bridge between relevant disciplines and present a comprehensive picture of the whole research field.
