Ionic Liquids in Biomass Processing: Green Protocols serves as a comprehensive guide to all aspects of ionic liquids and their applications within biomass processing. In addition to this fundamental knowledge, this book also walks the reader through the practical aspects of ionic liquids, from synthesis through to methodology and experimental design in real world industrial case studies. This book covers various industries and applications of ionic liquids for multiple types of biomasses; each chapter covers a specific type of biomass or provides an overview of how effective ionic liquid can be in various industrial sectors and research areas. The book provides real world examples and case studies, coupled with the latest research and economic and environmental insights into ionic liquids and biomass conversion technologies. Ionic Liquids in Biomass Processing: Green Protocols will be a valuable resource to anyone investigating, or working with, sustainable and alternative energy sources and chemical processes. This book will be used primarily be researchers, academics, students and industry experts in green chemical engineering and chemistry, or any related scientific discipline involving alternative energy and green synthesis of value-added products.
- Provides a comprehensive source for the latest research on ionic liquids and their applications in biomass processing, including up-to-date research and developments
- Includes case studies to provide real-world examples of how ionic liquids can be used in various industries and research fields for bioprocessing and biological waste management
- Details various ionic liquids, including practical guidance on their synthesis and advice on methodology and experimental design
- Offers future perspectives on ionic liquids and biomass processing, including advice for meeting environmental legislation standards and energy efficient net zero goals
Researchers, academics and students (at post-graduate level and above) working with ionic liquids, particularly their applications in the processing of bio-waste. The introductory chapter (Chapter 1) means it can be used at a more entry level, while the later chapters with up to date case studies and practical experimental guidance means it will be equally useful to expert level researchers in academia and industry.
