| Summary: | Rising fuel prices have created a surge in the worldwide demand for biofuels made from plant and animal feedstocks. Filled with a wealth of illustrations, Biofuels Engineering Process Technology fully explains the concepts, systems, and technology now being used to produce biofuels on both an industrial and small scale. Written by a team of leading biofuels experts, this lucid guide presents a complete introduction to biofuels and biorefining processes . state-of-the-art information on biofuels processed from fermentations of ethanol, hydrogen, microbial oils, and methane . new material on the production of biodiesel from plant and algal oils . and the use of microbial fuel cells to produce bioelectricity. Biofuels Engineering Process Technology takes readers step by step through: 1. the key concepts, systems, and technology of biofuels; 2. A review of the basic concepts of fermentation pathways and kinetic modeling of bioreactors; 3. biofuels produced from fermentations of agricultural feedstocks and biomass-ethanol, hydrogen, microbial oils, and methane; 4. biodiesel fuels processed from the chemical conversion of microbial and plant oils; 5. bioelectricity produced from microbial fuel cells; 6. The latest sustainable biorefinery concepts and methods. -- Publisher description. |
