Full Description
Sustainable fine chemical production from biomass through green chemistry
Transitioning from petroleum-based feedstocks to renewable biomass demands rigorous technical guidance. Biomass-Derived Fine Chemicals: Green Approaches, Techno-Economic Assessment, and Case Studies addresses this need directly. Edited by leading bioprocess researchers, this reference covers feedstock selection, green extraction techniques, catalytic transformations, and biotechnological approaches for producing fine chemicals from biomass under circular economy principles.
Biomass-Derived Fine Chemicals examines key platform chemicals, process intensification strategies, and techno-economic considerations for industrial-scale implementation. Coverage spans green chemistry principles applied to biomass valorization, renewable feedstock characterization, and industrial applications supported by detailed case studies. The book integrates environmental responsibility with chemical innovation, connecting laboratory-scale findings to commercially relevant production pathways for the fine chemical sector.
Readers will also find:
Detailed analysis of green extraction methods and catalytic transformation pathways for converting biomass into high-value fine chemicals
Techno-economic assessment frameworks that evaluate the commercial viability of biomass-derived chemical production at industrial scale
Case studies illustrating real-world applications of biomass valorization across pharmaceutical, materials, and energy sectors
Coverage of biotechnological advancements enabling more efficient conversion of agricultural and forestry residues into platform chemicals
Process intensification strategies designed to optimize yield, reduce waste, and improve the sustainability of fine chemical manufacturing
Designed for chemical engineers, natural products chemists, catalytic chemists, biotechnologists, and process engineers, this reference equips both researchers and industry professionals with the technical depth needed to develop and scale sustainable biomass-derived fine chemical production. Policymakers evaluating circular economy strategies will also find its techno-economic analyses directly applicable.
