Thermochemical Conversion of Lignocellulosic Materials: Theory, Design, and Applications for the Future proposes a generalized methodology for the design and study of thermochemical conversion reactors independent of the feedstock used and the technology analyzed. Sections cover essential theory, including biomass thermochemical conversion, biomass supply chains, and thermochemical reactors. The book then examines other important aspects of the thermochemical conversion reaction, presenting modeling and analysis options. Finally, it investigates potential uses and applications for these techniques. Including clear objectives and practical exercises to cement understanding, this book will equip students and researchers with the skills to design and model selective reactors. - Presents comprehensive coverage of the theory, analysis and use of thermochemical conversion for lignocellulosic biofuels - Includes in-depth, realistic exercises to ensure readers build practical skills towards the design of their own thermochemical reactor - Provides the fundamental knowledge necessary to develop fine control of thermochemical reactions
