Contents:
Biomass as energy source -- Biomass conversion processes -- Biomass properties for thermal conversion -- Biomass properties for biological conversion -- Biodiesel production -- Bioethanol production -- Biogas production -- Torrefaction -- Pyrolysis -- Gasification -- Advanced gasification -- Biomass liquefaction -- Biomass combustion -- Biomass sustainability issues
Summary: This book presents a comprehensive review of biomass resources available for conversion into heat, power, and biofuels. The textbook covers biomass characterization and discusses facilities, equipment, and standards (e.g. ASTM or NREL) used for analysis. It examines the range of biomass resources available for conversion and presents traditional biomass conversion processes along with extensive biomass characterization data tables, illustration, and graphical presentation of the various biomass energy conversion processes. The author also describes how to set up a laboratory for biomass energy conversion, and presents economics and sustainability issues.--COVER
