Qureshi N., Hodge D., Vertes A. Biorefineries: Integrated Biochemical Processes for Liquid Biofuels

Elsevier, 2014. – 274 p. – ISBN: 978-0-444-59498-3.
Biorefineries outlines the processes and steps to successfully scale up production of two types of biofuels, butanol and ethanol, from cellulosic residues for commercial purposes. It covers practical topics, including biomass availability, pretreatment, fermentation, and water recycling, as well as policy and economic factors. This reflects the unique expertise of the editor team, whose backgrounds range from wood and herbaceous feedstocks to process economics and industrial expertise. The strategies presented in this book help readers to design integrated and efficient processes to reduce the cost of production and achieve an economically viable end product.Cellulosic Biomass Processing & Biorefinery Road Map
