Description
Electrochemical Biomass Conversion: Sustainable Processes and Applications for Bioenergy, Biofuels, and Bioproducts presents an in-depth examination of the mechanisms, recent advancements, and sustainable practical applications of electrochemical biomass conversion. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, the book offers a detailed overview of both experimental findings and computational studies, presenting state-of-the-art approaches to electrochemical biomass conversion. The book opens with a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts and processes of electrochemical biomass conversion. The subsequent sections delve into various facets such as reactors, deconstruction, and valorization methods. Discussions extend to catalysts, characterization techniques, and electrochemical platforms derived from biomass. The book explores modeling, fermentation, reforming, oxidation, hydrogenation, and catalyst compositions including noble metals, alloys, carbon, and polymers. Integration approaches with microbial, photo, and thermal methods are discussed alongside fuel and biodiesel production through electrochemical means. Specific chapters focus on the conversion of various biomass derivatives like glucose, furfural, and glycerol, culminating in bioelectroconversion and technoeconomic assessments. The content addresses challenges, sustainability aspects, case studies, and concludes by outlining future directions and emerging trends in biomass electrochemistry. Electrochemical Biomass Conversion: Sustainable Processes and Applications for Bioenergy, Biofuels, and Bioproducts is a comprehensive reference for students, researchers, engineers, and professionals involved in the electrochemical conversion of biomass, catalysis, sustainable chemistry, and the scale-up of bioenergy technologies.
